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. Therefore I did not realise that there are three additional story DLCs that have come out since. Those are Conqueror, Rough Landing and Kraken Awakens. Like the … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 – Comparing The Story DLCs (PS5)
When I first saw the trailer for Ghostwire: Tokyo (Tango Gameworks) I was intrigued. But, since I am no fan of horror elements, I decided not to play it back when it was published in 2022. I have sinced revised that decision and was pleasantly surprised by this action-adventure. Despite some creepy elements and jump-scares. … Continue reading Ghostwire: Tokyo – A Pleasant Ride (PS5)

Ukrainian studio FrogWares released the remake of 2007s Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened in 2022. The endresult of this self-proclaimed crossover of Sherlock Holmes and H.P. Lovecraft is pretty amazing.

Sherlock Holmes The Awakened picks up the story in London, Baker … Continue reading Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
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
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
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

Then, over a month ago, along came God Of War: Ragnarök. Let's dive in. And, in case you did not anticipate that: There WILL … Continue reading God Of War: Ragnarök (PS4) – A Review
So I finally took on the neat challenge that is Landing Force, SNIPER ELITE 5's second story DLC. The first being Wolf Mountain, of course. As with pretty much any mission in a SNIPER ELITE-game, the Landing Force DLC offers main objectives and optional ones. The Mission In preparation of the landing of the allied … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 (PS4) – Landing Force (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)

So, I admit, the announcement trailer for GreedFall II: The Dying World, which was published yesterday, was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise. GreedFall really grew on me and I have been a fan of Spiders ever since I played The Technomancer. GreedFall II: The Dying World is apparently set for release in 2024 and I … Continue reading GreedFall II: The Dying World – What I Expect
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. I finished it … Continue reading A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS4) – Not Quite A Review

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)
