1:23:24

Borderlands 4 is here, and so is Mick to explain to Adam, Steve, and Lyle how great it is on this week's episode of the Loot Level Chill podcast. Adam is a huge fan and can't wait to get stuck in to Borderlands 4, but Mick has played it for his review and the podcast is largely about that for a good chunk. How's the story; the mechanics; the perfor…

This week we have a very, very special guest joining us to make the first 4-person pod in a while. We'll let you listen to find out exactly who it is, but he, along with Mick and Adam, has been playing Hell is Us.

For some reason, this episode of the podcast ends up in tangent city, but we do try to talk about video games too.

1:02:58

On this episode of the podcast it's just Adam and Lyle to chat about their RPGs, strange Japanese games, and Metroidvanias. What that means in real terms, then, is that the chat starts about Fretless: The Wrath of Riffson, where we get two very different perspectives. Lyle isn't into music or music YouTubers, but Adam knows a fair bit about both. M…

6M ago45:56

45:56

It's a quiet week, for a change, so on the podcast this episode it's time to shine a light on some hidden gems (so far) we've played in 2025. We're not talking exclusively about indies, though most are smaller games, as we also want to remind people Capcom's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess just came out on Switch 2 this year. But there's plenty o…

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach 56:24

As you can imagine, on this episode of the podcast all anyone can talk about is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. We've assembled our reviewer (Chris White) along with Adam and Steve who have played the game, and Lyle who, curiously, has not. The gang have complicated relationships with both Kojima and the Strand-genre itself, but it seems so far ev…

We're a little later than usual to record a podcast for this episode as the world of gaming has been busy, thanks to a new console launch and a huge Summer event.

The pod gang are having a week off this week, so instead of talking about new titles, news, or even looking ahead, this is sort of "one from the archives".
