Trailer

On the Matty Matt show, I explore my console video game collection and explain why the game I selected is fun in a simple to digest video for casual players. I’m no expert at any of these, but you’ll watch me try my best. Each week I’ll introduce you to a game, give basic details about its release, show how it’s played, show how I experienced the game, and then give my overall thoughts on the game. All this is mostly free from drama, influencer language and style, and invasive algorithms.
