My LCS, Plan 9 in Aberdeen, is closing. It’s been years since I’ve been in or had a pull list but I was still sad to learn of it’s closure on social media. Thankfully it’s closing due to the owner retiring rather than the business folding. The guy really needs a break – he’s been the sole member of staff, 7 days a week, for the past 5 years.

Fast paced movement and good gunplay. All the weapons feel weighty and like they’d actually doing damage in real life. One of the better retro / boomer shooters I’ve recently played.
