Loot Level Chill

So much to talk about this week's podcast, as Mick has finally caught up and has been playing Phantom Blade Zero, which is ace, and now everyone wants to play it.

Lightyear Frontier has also hit 1.0 and Kieran has reviewed it, and it's also ace, so there.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is out, and has been reviewed, so the gang talk about the scores for that one, but also about the God of War delay. Oh, spoiler, God of War Laufey has been delayed.

It's been a bumper week, as is pretty much the norm for anyone doing a podcast about games these days.

Mick, Kieran, and Steve have loads to talk about, but first it's time to address where the bleedin' heck Lyle Pendle is, right?

Luckily that doesn't take too long, and Steve went to Paris to play Wo Long 2, which Mick previously previewed, and it's time for a good old chinwag about that. Kieran has played Terrible Lizards, which... well, it's probably easier to just listen than have me try to explain it to you.

Lastly, but not least, Mick has reviewed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and it's... really good. REALLY good. What is happening?

Lyle is back for this episode of the podcast, and it’s a good thing too as there’s so few games to talk about. Only joking, there’s millions of them!

Mick has played Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, but also Boltgun 2, and Stupid Never Dies. Not enough for you, Lyle has been obsessed with Planet Zoo 2, played three Resident Evil games on Nintendo Switch 2, and somehow also managed to cram in and review Final Fantasy Resonance.

Oh, that still isn’t enough? Street Fighter just got a new movie, and the boys love it. An epic pod, here for your ears and eyes.

On this episode of the LLC Podcast, it's sort of a case of being back to normal. Games we can talk about are now out, so that's the main thing we're doing. A lot.

But the games are old, sort of. Mick has reviewed Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition, so he can talk about the new content, and the game overall. Neon Abyss 2 has been fully released, and Steve has reviewed that and enjoyed it a lot. , Dragon's Dogma 2 is also back again, in the form of Dark Arisen, which is a massive update to the sequel which also has the same name as the original game's DLC. It's confusing, but Kieran has reviewed Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and has plenty to say about the game, as well as the Switch 2 edition, which he also covered.

On this episode of the Loot Level Chill podcast (Loot Level Chat, aren't we clever?), the gang have plenty of new Switch 2 games to talk about, as well as Toem 2.

In case you didn't know, Kieran loved Toem 2 and you can find out his thoughts in a more "review-like" manner, via his... well, his review. But elsewhere, Mick has been playing lots of Nintendo Switch 2. No, seriously. Mick Fraser.

He's been all over The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, but perhaps even more "on brand", he's been playing Diablo 4's recently released Switch 2 port. Tune in to this episode of the podcast to hear all about those ports or games he already loved. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?

After a week off, Mick, Lyle, Kieran, and Steve are back with basically two podcast episodes in one.

Control Resonant is out next week, but Mick has been playing it feverishly for his review (which is live now), and you can hear a great deal about that game on this episode, with no spoilers of course.

Elsewhere, Nintendo held not one but two Nintendo Direct showcases, showing a huge amount of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time off. Not the old game, the remake, of course. We know a date, and how it looks, and a lot more. So the quartet chat about that, and break down the entire Nintendo Direct that followed it the day after. It's been a mad few weeks, hasn't it?

It's a bumper podcast this week, with all four of the usual gang together to talk loads of games.

The biggest topic this episode is The Blood of Dawnwalker, which Mick has reviewed, and Kieran and Steve have also been playing. Kieran thought it might be a game of the year contender after his preview a while back, but what does he think now?

Lyle has played and absolutely fallen for Moonlighter 2, but he's also been playing Orbitals, a co-op adventure that is in the genre being dubbed "Hazelike". No, us neither. Even with all of that, there's time for a quick look at Onimusha (though more on that next episode), and Mick has reviewed Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2.

Not enough? The four also have plenty to say about the Grand Theft Auto VI reveal on Netflix.

Phew, we did say it was a bumper episode.

On this episode of the Loot Level Chat podcast, Mick and Kieran have been playing The Duskbloods. That's right, the network test of The Duskbloods came and went on Switch 2, and the gang has things to say about it.

Elsewhere, Mick still can't stop playing (and talking about) Mortal Shell II, while Kieran has enlisted Steve for some Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, the first-person shooter that aims for realism, offering you the chance to be the commander. It even has a class that lets you be the spotter for a sniper.

Kieran and Lyle try to explain what Fantasy Critic is to Mick, who then judges our Patreon Discord's teams. Confused? Then you should listen to find out what it all means!

We've been thinking about games that have made a comeback on this episode of the podcast. No Man's Sky has hit ten years old. No, really, you're that old. But there are so many others.

What about Cyberpunk 2077? Sea of Thieves, Pokemon Scarlett and Violet, Battlefront 2... there are so many! That's not all though, as Mick has been playing Mortal Shell II, a new soulslike, which is sort of a comeback after the first game.
