This mission leads 47 into Janus' lair. The founder of and mastermind behind the Ark Society, the shadowy cabal the agent is tracking, is hiding in idyllic suburbia, where barbacues, muffin sales and explosive gardening seem to be favorite pasttimes. The town is filled with opportunities, disguises and inventive weapons, but I had a hard … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Five, Another Life
Fans of the SNIPER ELITE-franchise have been craving new content for the excellent SNIPER ELITE 4 for many months. A new map for coop would be appreciated just as much as a new DLC. But instead, Rebellion gave us the remastered SNIPER ELITE V2. Having come late to the franchise I was, of course, thrilled. … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE V2 is exhiliarating fun
This mission brings Agent 47 to Mumbai, where he is to kill one of the Shadow Client's most trusted lieutenants along with his two best assets, Dawood Rangan and Vanya Shah. Mumbai is my absolute favorite among all the maps in HITMAN 2 and there are so many possibilities to accomplishing your mission! Since your … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Four, Chasing a Ghost

I got to say: I really enjoy the new maps. Every one of them offers a different setting in a different location and a ton of possibilities. The second mission brings Agent 47 to Miami and into the colorful circuit of endurance racing. His targets are Robert Knox, CEO of Kronstadt Industries, and his bad … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Two, The Finish Line
Feels good being back! I have't had the chance to start playing HITMAN 2 up until now, but it sure feels good to dive back into a world of assassination and make the world my weapon, to quote the game's tagline. Stylish environments, a cool-headed, badass assassin plus his equally badass handler and that very … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission One, Nightcall
DontNod's episodic adventure Life is Strange (read my review here) is an enchanting game, slow but intense, with a great atmosphere that at times feels like re-living a lazy summer afternoon. Numerous choices and dialogue options make for great player engagement and I really loved it. Which is why I had to go and buy … Continue reading Life is Strange 2, Episode 01: Roads
It is the last day of the year and I have decided to sit down and look back on the past twelve months of whatchaa.com. As you would, right? First, though, I wish to thank all of you who have stopped by over the past months, for reviews as well as playthroughs, tips and hints … Continue reading A Look Back at 2018: Games, Goals and Changes
At first I was confused and annoyed. Then, ambition got the better of me and now I am really glad I did not post this last week, when I first finished The Council's Episode Five: Checkmate. (Also, sorry for not having posted in such a long time! I had to move and internet access was … Continue reading The Council, Episode Five: Checkmate
One step forward, one step back. Honestly, what's the story with The Council? I mean, literally. After Episode Three: Ripples went forward with the infamous council we have all been waiting for (that's me), offering nice powerplays and some intriguing surprises, Episode Four: Burning Bridges feels like a cheap thrill novel where you can't stop … Continue reading The Council, Episode Four: Burning Bridges
