Loot Level Chill

The podcast returns this week, but with less games to discuss since most of us have been heavily exploring one of the big titles that'd just been released.

The crew have been exploring Assassin's Creed Shadows, and most of them seem to think it's the best one in ages, though there is one dissenter in the group. Atomfall is out soon, and that's another game that the friends have been roaming around, pixel-hunting in. Various opinions on this one, too, given that some love it, some find bits of it great and other bits less great, but generally most of us seem to agree the accents are superb.

This week we're talking about that Death Stranding 2 trailer. Of course we are.

But there's more: Lyle is here to chat about Atelier Yumia now the review embargo has lifted, while Mick, Steve, and Adam have all been playing Wanderstop and think it's a lovely time. Adam and Chris Hyde have been playing Split Fiction, as has Lyle, and Mick wants to: but can it deliver the fire that the first did, or was it lightning in a bottle?

Question of the week comes from Thomas, who wants to know what our favourite fizzy pop is.

It's been a very busy few weeks, as Adam has been playing lots of upcoming games for the podcast. However, before we get to the first of them, we need to have a chat about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 being announced, finally.

On top of that, Monster Hunter Wilds has been a massive success for Capcom, already, and the Metacritic "Top Publishers" of 2024 has been announced, so that deserves a (Loot Level) chat.

In terms of what we've been playing, Adam talks some Atomfall after his hands on with that one, before Lyle explains Everhood 2. On that note, be warned, there is some flashing imagery during that chat. Chris Hyde has been playing the demo for Blue Prince and is impressed. Lastly, Adam tells us about his other preview-game, which is the recently announced Blades of Fire from MercurySteam. Yes, the team that made Metroid Dread.

Question of the week is about the Two Point series, and you can send us yours in the comment section below.

The very first episode of our podcast, Loot Level Chat is here. Adam, Chris Hyde, Steve, Mick, And Lyle are here to (first up) chat about the news that's taken their fancy. 

From Wuchang: Fallen Feathers to Pokemon Z-A, and then the Switch 2, there's a lot to be looking forward to this year, and some things we don't even have dates for. Onto what the team has been playing, and there's a hefty chat about Monster Hunter Wilds, before we chat about Avowed. 

There's even time for a little bit on Two Point Museum, and a quick preview chat about upcoming platformer-souls-like-metroidvania title, Mandragora.

The show ends with a single listener question, and a reminder that the full listener questions section will be behind our Patreon backers pay wall. Sorry about that, but the backers literally keep the lights on, financially, so we want to give them some special bits. Make sure YOU consider the Patreon, so you can ask questions and get them read out.
