Games I Haven’t Played Yet — But Really, Really Want To
The Honest Disclaimer Right, full transparency before we get into this: I haven’t played any of these. Not a single one. What I have done is watched enough playthroughs, read enough reviews, and spent enough time on Twitch to have Very Strong Opinions about games I technically have no business reviewing. So this isn’t a…

AStro Destroyer of Worlds
We get asked a lot of questions in this shop. How much does a screen repair cost? Can you fix water damage? What’s the best gaming PC for ARK? But honestly, one of the most common questions we get — possibly more than any of the tech ones — is about the dog. So let’s…

🚀 Empty Epsilon Review — The Best Game I’ve Never Properly Played
Posted on lithgeek.com/blog Right, hear me out. I’m going to review a game I haven’t actually played properly yet. And I think that says more about the game than any five-star write-up could. Empty Epsilon is a spaceship bridge simulator. They can’t call it a Star Trek Enterprise simulator for obvious trademark and copyright reasons —…

🦕 ARK: Survival Ascended — A Review From Someone Who Proudly Sucks At It
Look, I’m just going to come right out and say it — ARK: Survival Ascended is one of my favourite games, and I am absolutely terrible at it. Not just a bit bad. Genuinely, consistently, spectacularly bad. And honestly? That’s exactly why I keep coming back. What’s the Game Actually About? For those who haven’t…

In every good space opera, there’s a scene where the hero walks into the armoury, hands over a wishlist, and walks out fifteen minutes later with a perfectly customised weapon built to spec. Real life, unfortunately, doesn’t quite work like that. But here at Lithgeek, we’ve gotten pretty close — and it all starts with…
