Loot Crate "FEAR" Review


Loot crate "FEAR" Rating: 9.0 / 10


Hello all! I hope that you all enjoyed the Halloween festivities. As part of a new edition to my game review blog, I thought it would be interesting if I reviewed Loot Crate boxes every month. For those guys who aren't sure what Loot Crate is: it's a monthly subscription where the buyer will receive 8 items in relation to a randomly chosen theme within games and such! In my opinion, the service is value for money, items are of high quality and well thought of. I highly recommend this service to everyone, it's brilliant! And if your struggling what to get someone for a gift, this is perfect!

There are two types of boxes; one that is narrow but wider at the width means that you will mostly likely get a t-shirt and a graphic novel. The other type of box is thicker, so most likely, you will get a couple of rare figurines etc. This month's Loot Carte box is Narrow and wide. The inside of every box is custom according to the theme every month.

The box itself is durable, distinct, simple and surprising. The first item in the box is a black shirt with a collection of kittens that form a skull. I have to admit, the shirt gave me the giggles, good fun! The second item is a limited lithograph featuring a scene from the Walking Dead (Spoiler Alert!) Underneath the lithograph is a book called "How to Survive a Sharknado: And other natural Disasters" By Andrew Shaffer. The book is full of interesting tips, nice illustrations and on the whole a well made book of fun. On the right side of the box, is a Loot Crate exclusive: a DeadRising 3 limited edition pen. Well packaged- high quality, good colour and generally awesome. My only complaint, is that for my pen, it's abit tricky to separate the pen from the saw cover. Next we have the classic magazine with 3D glasses. If you put them on, the book becomes 3D and the box art comes to life!

Next we have bite stickers, one toxic waste sweet, the custom badge and lastly, possibly one of my favourite items: A Walking dead Comic book. Number: 132 Happiness. Pretty cool front cover with the Loot Crate sign on the zombie's T-shirt.

All in all my favourite item(s) were: the Cat/skull T-shirt, the survival book, the Walking Dead lithograph and the Walking Dead Comic book. They are stunning items, each has a distinct humour about them. It's a shame that the DeadRising 3 pen didn't work so well with me. If I could change or add anything to this month's Loot Crate, it would be to either a spooky lolly pop instead of Toxic Waste or maybe a spooky accessory or necklace.

Having said that, this is one of my favourite Loot Crates, the Crate has given us very well considered items, that invoke imaginativeness, laughter and spookiness what with Halloween and that. Please let me know what you think of this month's Crate! I hope you guys enjoyed this review, if you have any questions or if I have missed something out please let me know!
