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

Here you will find everything about the games (PS4) that I am playing.
Red Dead Redemption II – My Favorite Horses
As mentioned in my review, I treated Red Dead Redemption II as a horse simulator in the beginning, and still do. I love games where I get to ride horses! Ghost of Tsushima comes to mind, when it comes to having a relationship with your horse, though I admit Red Dead Redemption II does not … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption II – My Favorite Horses
Red Dead Redemption II – A Masterpiece At Second Glance
So, yeah, late to the party again, but I do have an excuse: I am not into the Western-genre at all. Which is why RockStar's acclaimed Red Dead Remption (2010) and its prequel Red Dead Redemption II (2018) were never on the top of my list of games to play. Of course, over the years, … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption II – A Masterpiece At Second Glance
God Of War: Ragnarök (PS4) – A Review

The Mission In preparation of the landing of the allied … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 (PS4) – Landing Force (DLC)
Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor – The Bright Lord (DLC)
So, I watched the first two episodes of Amazon's Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. That experience prompted me to A. Rewatch Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings-Trilogy, B. Replay Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor and C. Replay its sequel, Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War. The latter one especially being a masterful tale that I … Continue reading Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor – The Bright Lord (DLC)

GreedFall II: The Dying World – What I Expect

A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS4) – Not Quite A Review
So, A Plague Tale: Requiem is coming out this year - not for PS4, though - and so I very recently decided to finally have a go at Asobo Studio's A Plage Tale: Innocence, to satisfy my curiosity and despite my misgivings, that prevented me from playing this critically acclaimed game earlier.

Favorite Mission Seven – Chapter IX: The Last Captain (Aragami)
Aragami is a pure stealth game and I love that. I love the Aragami, its dedicated and loyal shadow-wraith hero, the gameplay, design and the music. Of course, there are more challenging missions than this one, stealth-wise, but it makes up for that with drama and suspense aplenty. The stakes are incredibly high and, to … Continue reading Favorite Mission Seven – Chapter IX: The Last Captain (Aragami)

Actually, the game … Continue reading Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts (PS4) – A Fun Ride For Snipers and Stealth-Afficinados
Aragami 2 – A Worthy Sequel With Minor Flaws
So I finished Aragami 2 and I really liked it. There are minor flaws, but the 25 plus hours I sunk into it were definitely worth it! Suffice to say I am already on my second playthrough and have yet to try the multiplayer....
