Google Maps shows a 4.7/5 rating from 79 reviews. Customers often mention the friendly family-run atmosphere, the selection of video game magazines and helpful service, with Jane mentioned as the owner. There is also a less positive review alleging that a £100 game was fake and that a refund was not offered, so checking items carefully is sensible. The stated returns policy allows cancellation within 30 days of receiving an item, provided it meets the shop’s conditions, including being in original packaging and not damaged or tampered with. Return postage and risk are the customer’s responsibility.
