Play it fully
We finish the campaign or clock 40+ hours before writing a word. Impressions from a two-hour demo get labelled as previews, never reviews.
Vancouver · Gaming Blog
Loot worth reading before you play.
We break down RPG builds, spotlight overlooked indies, and stress-test hardware from a cramped West End apartment. No hype, no filler — just the guides we wish we'd had.
About the Legion
A small crew that plays too much, on purpose.
CosmicLootLegion started in 2019 as a Discord thread arguing about the best Dark Souls starting class. Five years later we're a four-person editorial team publishing three long-form pieces a week from Robson Street, still arguing.
Every guide is play-tested to completion — we don't post a boss strategy we haven't cleared, and we don't score a GPU we haven't run through a week of real games. When we get something wrong, we say so at the top of the article.

How we work
From first launch to published guide.
Three steps stand between a new release and a piece you can trust. None of them can be skipped.
Test & measure
Builds get theory-crafted and re-run; hardware gets logged frame times across the same six games so every chart is comparable.
Edit & publish
Two editors fact-check every claim, timestamps and patch versions get noted, and the piece ships with a plain-language verdict up top.
The Team
Four writers, one shared backlog.
Mara Whitlock
Editor-in-Chief · RPGs
Has a 700-hour Elden Ring file and a spreadsheet to match. Writes the deep build guides and settles most of our internal arguments.
Devon Osei
Hardware Lead
Runs the benchmark rig from his balcony so the neighbours can hear the fans. Owns every verdict on GPUs, handhelds and mechanical keyboards.
Priya Nair
Indie & Features
Trawls itch.io so you don't have to. Finds the 90-minute narrative gems and writes the interviews with the solo devs behind them.
Leo Tremblay
Community & Video
Turns our written guides into two-minute clips and reads every reader email. If you tweet at us, it's probably Leo replying.
