Loot Level Chat

With the lads taking a well-earned week off recording the podcast this week, instead we're bringing you a previously exclusive to Patreon episode. This episode is called "GOTY Practice Run #1", because while we're well known for our Game of the Year podcast celebrations, we're trying something different this year.
Rather than cutting games, instead, this episode of the podcast sees the gang of Mick, Kieran, Steve, and of course Lyle, sticking a variety of the year's best games into tier lists, from "only one of us played it", to the "best of the best", and everywhere in-between.
If you like this kind of content, we'd say it's an ideal time to check out the YouTube video version (where you can see the tier list in action), and our Patreon, which releases weekly extra episodes like this very one. Links to all of that are below, and hey, if you love the pod, but don't wanna subscribe, we've even got a link where you can "buy us a coffee" as a thank you!

AKA: "The one with Halo Campaign Evolved and all the remakes".
In this episode, Mick holds court with Kieran, Lyle, and Steve to talk about Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is a game he's been playing recently. That's the newly remade version of the original Halo game, by the way, and he's played it on PS5. 
The chat then moves into ideas about what future remakes we'd like, because why not more?

It's a packed episode this week, as Mick, Lyle, and Steve have been playing ALL the games again.
Mick is Mr DLC this week, as he's played The Alters: Last Variable as well as Doom: The Dark Ages | Revelations. Lyle and Steve have finally grabbed Rhythm Paradise Groove and are enjoying the purity it offers. On top of that Lyle has also just reviewed Denshattack! which is a very strange train-based Tony Hawk's game.

Some huge games are chatted about on this episode of the podcast, thanks to Kieran having come back fresh from playing four hours of The Blood of Dawnwalker.
While initial thoughts might have been “it looks a lot like The Witcher 3”, Kieran also thinks it’s way more than that, and after his hands-on preview (and also chatting to the developers for our interview feature), it’s firmly on his “this could be game of the year” list, which is seriously impressive.
On top of that, Mick awarded Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced a 10/10 score in his review, but everyone has been playing it (excepted Lyle, who as we know, hates pirates probably). It’s truly one of the best remakes in recent memory, so you better believe we have plenty to say about it. Lyle does have a game to chat about though, and it’s Star Fox… another 10/10. Games are good folks. They’re really, really good.

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 with a quiz related to heat, hotness, and warmth.
