I am a huge fan of the SNIPER ELITE-franchise. So I definitely had to get my hands on SNIPER ELITE Resistánce, starring Harry Hawker instead of Karl Fairburne and set in France at roughly the same time that SNIPER ELITE 5 takes place. Does SNIPER ELITE work with a different protagonist? Does this new instalment … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE Resistance: Same, same, different (Review)

But, that does not mean … Continue reading Favorite Mission Ten – Prison Break (Watch_Dogs)

While I have not played any other Dragon Age-game before Dragon Age: Inquisition, that one is a well-loved classic in my game library.

Because Dragon Age: Inquisition … Continue reading Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) – A Review
I was lucky enough to visit China and Japan in late fall last year.

After having detailled my favorite run of Landing Force, the second story-DLC of SNIPER ELITE 5 I put a pause on playing that game for quite some time.

Like the … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 – Comparing The Story DLCs (PS5)

I have been looking forward to this game for sooo long! But, since it was not available for PlayStation when it came out in 2021 for quite a while, I kinda forgot about it. And then I stumbled across it by chance only recently, once I got a little tired of Red Dead Redemption II. … Continue reading Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One – A Review

Of course, over the years, … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption II – A Masterpiece At Second Glance
