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

Lots of Fantasy Critic relevant announcements last week. Get those waiver bids in people!

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

If you're struggling to keep up with all the showcases, here's a video for ya. I picked out the games I thought were interesting from #StateofPlay, #SummerGameFest, The @Xbox.com Showcase, @dayofthedevs.org, and the #PCGamingShow. There's so much good stuff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvxo...

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

Did you know Despelote’s dreamy visuals blend real photos of Quito with hand-drawn, comic-style characters? It’s nostalgia in motion. Experience it for yourself! #Despelote #IndieGames #ArtStyle @despelote.game Apple: podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/t... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6GLV...

Loved playing this and also many memories came back from my time living in South America. An artful slice of life game.

What did you think of The Witcher 4 tech demo? "I feel like my biological clock is ticking" - Kyle 😂😂😂

What is your most hyped unannounced game? And do you think it hits this year?

Oh, this was such a joy to play! If you’re interested in exploring Expelled! and want to get a feel for its unique style, I highly recommend trying out the demo before diving in. #ExpelledGame #IndieGame #GameDemo Listen to our thoughts: Apple: tinyurl.com/2s42h37d Spotify: tinyurl.com/3urwpdx3

New episode of Hype Factor out today!

The glowing mountain in the distance? It’s visible from almost every point in the game, serving as a constant, silent guide for players—no map or compass needed. #JourneyTrivia #ArtInGames #LevelDesign #VisualStorytelling #IndieGames Listen: Apple: bit.ly/4kpxqFv Spotify: spoti.fi/4dy0vf8

I'm looking for a console publisher for Without a Dawn, a visual horror novel I released a week ago: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... DM or email me for more info! ☺️ #publisher #game #indiegame #consoles

Had a great time chatting with Michael about this incredibly influential game!

Now that I’ve let Clair Obscur simmer in my mind, I can truly say it’s a rare masterpiece. Read my non-spoiler review on why this game lingers long after the credits: somanygames.co.uk/review/exped... #gaming #rpg @expedition33.bsky.social @kepler-interactive.bsky.social @sandfallgames.bsky.social

We are recording a new episode of Hype Factor tomorrow! If you have any questions for the show, or need advice after your GTA6 pick was delayed, let us know!

Lots of great indies here! Zau and Symphonia are excellent games that more people need to play. To a T, Monster Train 2 and Crypt Custodian are all ones I’m keen to check out!

Marcus playing Jusant in real life! (*Note - his Ballast is just off screen! 😂)

Loved welcoming on @fulishfuji.bsky.social to the pod to gush about this underrated gem from @dontnod.bsky.social ! #Jusant

Pixel prognostication time! Reviews are dropping tomorrow. What score do you think it’s getting? #DoomTheDarkAges

And all those who counterpicked it can finally exhale…

THRILLED to finally add this one to my collection! Thank you @iam8bit.com ! 💙 #TheMessenger

Some really interesting insights from Steve here! 💙💜💙
