4. Critical Moves Podcast - Strategy Videogames

Play
Apple Spotify Episodes
Critical Moves is a strategy games podcast that takes RTS, 4X, and tactics seriously. Most gaming podcasts treat strategy games as an afterthought. We don't. Every week we cover real-time strategy, turn-based tactics, 4X empire builders, indie experiments, and overlooked classics with long-form analysis and no wasted time. This isn't quick reviews or recycled talking points. It's sharp criticism and honest discussion about strategy game design. If a game is shallow or broken, we'll say so. If it does something clever, we'll explain why it works...more Producer/Network Where strategy gaming meets good vibes.
