Great place to spend the day if you don’t have a PC or want to game with a few friends. They have lots of PC’s with fairly decent gear and their prices are reasonable. The vibe is very chilled and they are close to lots of restaurants with good food. My only complaint is that their systems are starting to show their age and can’t reach the refresh rate of the monitor in most E-sports titles but besides that I would say they are perfect.

Everything the casual to pro gamer needs to have some fun. High quality gaming rigs and peripherals all round. Most importantly, kid friendly.

Epic gaming lounge. Esport pc setups and lots more. Pricing a bit steep for my liking and entry fee not a fan but the place is well kept. If you dont have access to a gaming pc this is your place. I enjoyed trying new games but my only game I play Battlefield 5 was not available here. I dreamt of playing BFV full ultra in 4k but unfortunately this experience was not available. Lets hope they get Battlefield 6. But a must try place

Highly recommended! Swung by on a Saturday and completely blown away. World class facility, support staff are ON POINT and even though there was a +/- 1h30min server issue, they made sure we were compensated with additional hours. Basically, 5 times what I paid for ;)Youd only expect professional spots like this in the US or EU, but this gem right on our doorstep.Ill be returning again. And again. And again.

I was there this past weekend with several friends for a session of 3 hours. The venue is great, the setup looks top notch and its all comfortable. But thats about it, everything else seems very underwhelming. Plagued with licenses being limited on a couple of games, steam accounts being too low level to add friends and then the occasional game requesting an OTP? The staff are helpful, but they can only help so much with issues like the above.Now I understand any business, running systems like this can experience issues at anytime. During a game my screen went all blurry. Switching the screen on and off resulted in no signal and then my machine had to be restarted and this happened to someone else sitting opposite me who was part of another group.Someone needs to have a look at whats hogging the systems there as well. For what the setups are made of I was expecting way better performance out of the games. This ranges from starting times, loading game times and graphical performance. I have a setup with a 980 and these systems were just not running as fast as that. So someone needs to have a look at that. And why with systems like these is everything running at low settings?? I get competitive players play with everything low to get that clear visibility but for people who dont own great machines they are expecting the best experience out of it.And please why no battlefield?

I would NOT recommend ATK at all, we went to game for 3 hours of which we maybe actually played an hour and a half, at most. Half the time we where trying to get everyone to be able to play the same game. We where a group of six guys trying to have a LAN, but they dont have licensing to run multiple accounts over four people at the same time, along with that you cannot invite friends on their steam accounts as they havent purchased anything on them. And some of the games we where told would work just didnt, due to the PC just not starting the game up.Further more we had technical issues with nearly all the computers, from headsets not working, to monitors switching off during a game, which lead to the PC having to be reset.In the end we all played a few games by ourselves and three of us manages to hop into a DotA game.In conclusion, I feel that it was a waist of money for the amount of time we actually managed to play.

Had a few connection issues when we started, issues with finding my friends. Thankfully we were credited the time back and the staff were friendly. We eventually got to playing but wished that the selection of games covered more genres, some that were available were not installed. Starcraft 2 should be there, working age of empires, warcraft? Red alert?At face value the venue caters for the younger generation, the older crowd may be left wanting.

The place had 3 pros and 2 cons thats why it is a 3 star rating...Pros1.internet speeds are brilliant2.Word-class setup3.Staff were friendly and kindCons1.I would bring an extra headset because the current ones are old and some does not work that well.2.For games like Fortnite, this place is perfect but if you wanna play other games you are in a bad position because some games does not work and other needs a OTPOverall this place is legendary for fortnite gamers
