Loot Level Chat

On this episode of the podcast Mick, Steve, and Kieran run through a handful of demos they have played recently before Mick tells everyone about Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy , which he's recently played a preview build of, and which sounds rather good. Patreon subscribers get early access to the podcast as well as an extra weekly bonus pod. On this week’s bonus the team test their brains w...

It's so hot this week so everyone is taking a break, instead this is a previously exclusive bonus podcast (LLC DLC) where the gang talk about what game to play before GTA VI hits, in a GOTY-style bracket-list game!

On this episode of the podcast the team go through and objectively rate each Assassin's Creed game from S-D then do the same for the protagonists too.  It's a bumper AC-special, as the team is getting ready for some Black Flag resynced. There's (of course) time for some general chit-chat, as well. Buy us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/U7U81H2M26 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lootlev...

The team of Mick, Lyle, Steve, and Kieran get together to wrap up all that was "not-E3" 2026 in podcast form. However, there's a twist. Each game only gets a set amount of time, so the boys have to get it together and confirm what they loved and didn't love. Everything announced in the Nintendo Direct: https://lootlevelchill.com/news/everything-announced-in-the-june-2026-ninten...

It's a bumper podcast this episode, as Mick, Lyle, and Kieran gather to talk all about the June 2026 Sony State of Play , and what was announced during the show. If you're looking for a full catch-up, we also have an article here with everything announced at the State of Play , but otherwise, the trio chat about God of War Laufey, Marvel's Wolverine, Control Resonant, Rayman Legends...

One might say this episode of the LLC Podcast played host to some "eclectic games", but perhaps that is because one has been serving his majesty's secret service recently. One might say that LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight isn't very Bond-like, and that there's definitely no Bondage in Darksiders Warmastered edition, which is out now on modern consoles too. One migh...

It's time for a themed podcast, as Mick, Steve, and Kieran talk about video game adaptations of movies, and movie adaptations of video games. It's all about movies and games! Mick, of course, uses this as an opportunity to go off on numerous tangents, until someone upsets him by mentioning Star Wars.  Buy us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/U7U81H2M26 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lootleve...

Mick is back off his holidays meaning he can host a podcast where... everyone else talks about the games they've been playing. Chris is here and he's reviewed both Mixtape (loved it), and Directive 8020 (loved it!). Kieran has also had a quick go on Mixtape, but he's here to talk about Wax Heads.  The three games this week make this podcast the episode with the joint highest rated g...

It's another big game week with Mick her to talk about PlayStation and Housemarque's next big exclusive: Saros. He gave it a whopping 10/10 in his review on Loot Level Chill, and is here to talk about the story (no spoilers, don't worry), as well as the difficulty (it's hard, but don't worry there are modifiers), and the visuals (it's amazing looking, don't worry...

It's a hefty chat of weird this week, as Lyle tells the gang all about Vampire Crawlers, which yes: that's the follow up to Vampire Survivors.  Kieran joins the weird with an asymmetric multiplayer experience in the form of Tides of Tomorrow. The chat begs the question, would following a player called "McSmellington" ruin your single player story-driven experience? Then there&a...

Hi all, welcome back. This week we've got some big releases to chat about as Mick gets into cyberpunk noir adventure, Replaced, and Lyle explains the ups and downs of Mouse P.I. For Hire. After that, it's time to crack open a big can of Pragmata as Mick and Lyle have played through Capcom's newest sci-fi action hit and they're ready to put your worries to bed.

Back to normal this week, folks, with Mick, Steve, Lyle and Kieran chatting about a few new games, Legacy of Kain: Ascendance and Super Meat Boy 3D. Talking about these games leads into a longer chat about legacy sequels, and the lads blast through a whole bunch of classics and not-so-classics.

Sadly we were unable to record a regular podcast this week, so please enjoy this free version of one of our Patreon-only LLC DLC episodes, where Mick, Kieran and Steve attempt to rank all the Resident Evil protagonists. Regular scheduling will return after the Easter break! Enjoy.

In a bumper episode this week, Mick, Lyle, Kieran and (occasionally) Steve go through some of the massive franchises, companies and games that are celebrating milestones in 2026. From Gears of War and Halo, to Pokemon, Resident Evil and the Legend of Zelda, there are some very important birthdays this year, and the lads go down a whole bunch of nostalgia holes.

This week we chat about a few things like Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug Hunt and Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor, but mostly it's an Open World-themed episode and Mick talks everyone to death about Crimson Desert for a solid hour. It's a wonder Lyle made it through - but whether you love it or hate it, it is a game that warrants discussion. For an hour. And he could have talked...

Welcome back, everyone. It's a bit of a packed show this week, as Mick, Lyle, Kieran and Steve dig into videogame spin-offs and which ones stand out. And while they're on the subject, Kieran gets into the cosy new Pokémon spin-off Pokopia, and Mick has some opinions on Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

Hey all. This week Mick, Lyle, and Kieran discuss a huge slew of indie games from Steam Next Fest including The Eternal Life of Goldman and Cathedral: Crow's Curse.  They also find time to chat about Disco-like fantasy detective game, Esoteric Ebb, the Marathon Server Slam, and the fact that Pokemon is 30 years old in 2026.

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? Buy us a Coffee: h...
