What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Firstly, I miss MatPat, he was truly iconic and irreplaceable. Secondly, at first I hated Tom, hated his accent and just hated how he wasn’t MatPat, but he earned my respect with his sick Zelda timeline theory. I totally headcanon that theory now, and I like Tom now. 😊 Lastly, GameTheory is a classic and still lives on with Tom even without MatPat. If you’re thinking about dropping watching it because of Tom, DON’T! Just wait until he does a theory about a game you like, and I’m sure he’ll grow on you. For Tom: your Zelda theory was super sick, dude! Super awesome and totally solves the timeline! Well done!! 👏👏👏 (moral of the story: if you want my respect, appreciate Zelda)

I love watching the game theory videos, and after trying the podcast, I was even more excited as I could hear theories while doing other tasks. The episodes themselves are amazing but with some, you can tell that they weren’t made for this format as they’ll reference things we can’t see (this isn’t a big issue though). My biggest complaint is that the scheduling for the podcast is HORRIBLE. While the YouTube format is an episode a week, the podcast can go some periods releasing 2-3 episodes per weeks and other periods releasing nothing new at all. It’s really annoying, especially as I’ve basically listened to all the other episodes already. Despite this, I still love the show and hope y’all can develop a more consistent schedule (please!!!).

I literally love this podcast and the YouTube channel so much. I know it might sound weird but it’s gotten me though so much and I really think anyone would enjoy. The show has a weird feeling of joy in it. It doesn’t matter it they’re talking about Crow 64 or Fnaf, it always has a fun vibe to it. I really do enjoy every single episode on all the channels. Doesn’t matter it it’s Game, food, fashion or film. I’m there for each and every episode so please never stop.😁🥰😄🤩🥳

This podcast is just full of lore! I enjoy listening to it daily. And as for someone who’s never had anything to do with the FNAF franchise, I now know a lot (maybe even too much), thanks to Mat. Also as a huge Zelda fan, thank you so much for doing the timeline episode- it clears a lot of things up for me!! All in all, Game Theory is an amazing podcast and you should definitely listen to it!! P.S. Please do more Zelda content!! P.S.S.: KAAHHNNN: I have checked out Zelda Lorecast and Hello Hyrule! I will look into Sacred Realms: A Retrospective Podcast, thank you!! 😊
