MEGA the micro

@UCYLJS7tXPo-1XA3zeA9TkOA - 6.3K subscribers

I create short (yet detailed!), high-quality (usually!) reviews of new video game releases. Specifically, I unpack fifteen "micro-metrics" from "Plot" to "Sound" to determine a game's aggregate MEGA score. Hence the channel's name: MEGA the micro!
