hi my two cats Luther n Zeus British shorthairs have quite a few brands of cat food in rotation. I have just discovered Purizon which they currently have very little of each day. Reason being I’ve read dry cat food isn’t as good as wet. They love it though. So I’m thinking as long as are fed on mainly wet should be fine. What do other ppl think in regards to this food

Purizon cat dry food is this good food
Hello @SILVERKINGS and welcome 
Purizon is high in protein and fats (44% protein and 20% fats) so with that many calories you wouldn't want to give them much - just a few pieces a day as treats, if they are having mainly wet food, or they will soon become overweight. Also, for some reason Purizon contains several different kinds of fruit, strange ingredients to add to cat food as fruit is not a normal part of the diet of an obligate carnivore.
Perhaps the fruit is there to acidify the urinary tract, and prevent struvite stones. But diets designed to prevent the formation of struvite stones in the bladder , make cats produce urine that is more acidic than normal, and if urinary acidification is taken too far calcium oxalate stones can occur.
Although Purizon is grain free it contains 18% potatoes, so is very high in carbs. A cat living wild would eat no more than 1% or 2% carbs. 18% would be fattening if your cats ate much of this food.

@chillminx is the cat food guru on here so I basically go by anything she says
My newest cat, Fili, is currently on Purizon having transferred from Royal Canin dry (blurgh). I am transitioning him to wet food - currently he has one meal of Purizon (fish) and two wet meals (Thrive).
My preferred dry food is Orijen: http://www.orijenpetfoods.co.uk/cat-food/dry-cat-food/orijen-cat-kitten/
I now use it as a treat for my Sandy who adores it! It's not perfect, but I like that the meats are fresh and dehydrated.
Another option to consider is Pure Pet Foods - https://purepetfood.co.uk/ - it's dehydrated food that you add water to and make it a wet food. However I tend to use it as a food topper.

My answer is no dry is good for cats, but having read chillminx's description of the ingredients I have to say that this one isn't either.
