This week Mick, Kieran and Lyle have a good old chat about the recent SONY State of Play, including a breakdown of the new God of War Metroidvania, Sons of Sparta. They also discuss Silent Hill: Townfall, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and Project Windless.

As for current games, this week Lyle has reviewed 3D platformer Demon Tides, Mick jumped into the beta test for NetEase's pirate lark, Sea of Remnants, and Kieran got all stealthy with everyone's favourite abrasive goblin wretch in Styx: Blades of Greed.

This week Mick, Steve, Chris and Lyle chat about what makes a game weird, from the developer behind it to the subject matter or sense of humour.

They also find time to discuss what Mick thought of the Replaced demo, Steve's Reanimal review, Lyle's take on Grasshopper Manufacture's Romeo is a Dead Man, and Chris's time spent with the Yakuza Kiwami 3 remake.

This week on Loot Level Chat, Mick, Steve, Lyle, and Kieran discuss the merits of massive games. From Final Fantasy VII to Persona 5 Royal, they have a good old chinwag about their favourite 100-hour games. 

They also discuss Nioh 3, which Mick reviewed, and Edmund McMillen's Mewgenics, which has Lyle really excited about cat poo. You heard it here first!

This week Mick, Steve, Lyle, and Kieran chat about Code Vein 2, Cairn, Escape from Ever After, and then have a bit of a chinwag about their favourite choice of cosy or comfort games to see them through the January lull. 

Mick, Steve and Kieran are back this week to talk about some upcoming games and try to guess their eventual Metacritic score. Amongst the wild speculations are predictions for Witchbrook, Resident Evil: Requiem, Saros, and GTA6!

New year, same nonsense! Loot Level Chat is back, baby. 

Usual host Adam has stepped out for a bit and left Mick in charge, and he's joined by Kieran, Lyle, and Steve to talk about what they've all been up to over the Christmas break. 

We've got chat about Arc Raiders, Diablo 4, and even some GameCube classics beamed through the Switch 2. What more could you want?
