We are recording a new episode of Hype Factor later this week! If you have any questions for the show, let us have 'em

My fantasy critic hero 😍

Is this what fans were hoping for? Hard to see this limited offering not translate to lower review scores. #fantasycritic

Unsure which games from Summer Game Fest to bid on this week? We're here to help! #FantasyCritic

New episode is LIVE! Jon and Marcus get together for an emergency podcast to review announcements from Summer Game Fest. GET HYPED! #FantasyCritic Apple: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/h... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5CZt...

Recording a SGF Roundup Emergency Podcast tonight! Hit us with your SGF questions and we'll answer 'em on the show!

Let us know your thoughts? Any other announcements got you hyped?

Day of the Devs - Sword of the Sea got a date (August 19)! - Mixtape still doesn’t have a firm date, but its looking good, and seems like it’s getting close!

Those watching Summer Game Fest that had drafted RE9 were disappointed that it isn’t coming until Feb 2026. But in the meantime: - Avoid Dying Light the Beast (Aug) - Place a bet on Arc Raiders (Oct) - If Mina the Hollower (Halloween) is still available, break the bank on this one

The PS5 State of Play showed a lot of great games coming out in 2026, but these 3 games coming in 2025 are ready to make a Fantasy Critic splash: - Cairn (Nov) - Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster (Sept) - Lumines Arise (Fall) Remember to update your rosters appropriately

We are getting ready for our next episode, but in the meantime SGF is shifting the Fantasy Critic landscape, with some cool video games and release dates. Incoming thread with some Waiver Wire advice #HypeCheck #SummerGameFest #videogames

Unannounced FF Tactics Remaster/Remake incoming???

If you have this game on your FC roster, now would be a good time to drop it!

It has been quite the month in gaming, and Fantasy Critic is heating up! We will be recording the next episode of Hype Factor this week, if you got questions for the show let us have 'em. #FantasyCritic #videogames

Donkey Kong Bonanza might be breaking some waiver wire records. Did you manage to pick it up?

Hopefully at least a few of you out there were able to snag Blue Prince for your Fantasy Critic teams!

And Finally, For those clown face fans out there, Silksong did make its April 2 appearance as many were predicting, but its not necessarily the date we were looking for. Still just a 2025 generic release date, but don’t lose hope, still lots of time left for us to be truly disappointed. ($?)
