Australian gaming blog · Collingwood
Where dungeon crawls meet deadline crunches.
We play the long RPGs, chase the weird indies, and stress-test the hardware so your next session — and your next purchase — actually earns the time.
A note from the founder
Started on a Smith Street couch in 2016.
I'm Dylan Marsh, and Golden Dungeon Legends began as a group chat between four Collingwood housemates arguing about whether Dark Souls was fair. Ten years later we're a small independent team writing for players who read the patch notes and finish the side quests.
We don't take publisher junkets or paid placements. Every review is bought, borrowed, or shipped back — and every hardware verdict comes after at least 30 hours on the couch, the commute, and the LAN night at our Smith Street studio.
— Dylan Marsh, Founder & Editor

From the comments
Readers who stuck around.
"Their 40-hour Baldur's Gate 3 build guide is the only reason my Durge run didn't fall apart in Act 3. Actual testing, not vibes."

"I bought the mid-range keyboard they recommended instead of the flashy one. Six months later it's flawless and I saved $180."
Callum R. — Fitzroy, VIC · Jan 2026
"Found my new favourite indie through their Friday roundup — a tiny Melbourne dev I'd never have seen otherwise. That's the whole point."
