Here you will find everything about the games (PS4) that I am playing.
Welcome to the second part of Whatchaa.com's best and worst of 2017 series! Now, I don't think that a game necessarily needs a powerful nemesis for it to be a good game (The Last of Us comes to mind). But if there is a nemesis (and let's face it, in most cases there is that … Continue reading Heroes and Villains of 2017
Thief (the 2014 reboot by Eidos Montreal published by Square Enix) was one of the very first games I played on my PS4 back when I bought the console three years ago a few weeks before Christmas (That's right, the PS4 was my very own Christmas present). I loved it, very much, actually, but didn't … Continue reading Thief- Still my favorite stealth game
Having played a lot of shooters this year (namely SNIPER ELITE III and SNIPER ELITE 4, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Wolfenstein - The New Order and Wolfenstein II - The New Collossus) I found myself craving a change of scenery, which, for me, means stealth. Since I had already finished the badass … Continue reading Aragami is a beautiful and fascinating stealth game true to its name and nature
Watching the trailers for Wolfenstein II - The New Colossus, you'd never guess how good this first-person shooter's writers are at storytelling and characterization. They handle the balance between fast-paced action sequences and easy-going dialogue with such brilliant ease that a full-blown homecoming party right after a harrowing shootout feels like real relief and not … Continue reading Wolfenstein II – The New Collossus delivers swashbuckling dialogue and badass combat along with a riveting story
Alright, this is the last mission of the campaign and, daring to be bold and on the clock since I actually did this in the early morning before leaving for work, I finished it in a five minute speed-run. I have updated that speed-run since. Agent 47's last target is one Owen Cage, a cultist … Continue reading HITMAN: Patient Zero Campaign Mission 4, Patient Zero
Next on Agent 47's list of sleeper agents is one Dr. Bradley Paine. Dr. Paine (what a name!) is hiding out in Colorado at the militia camp from Season One and he has already infected four of the soldiers with the virus in order to spread it around. Agent 47 has to eliminate all five … Continue reading HITMAN: Patient Zero Campaign Mission 3, The Vector
Once I had finished the first mission of HITMAN's new "Patient Zero"-campaign in Bangkok, I was intrigued by what would happen next. For what did happen once Agent 47 checked out of Thailand was Diana calling to tell him Nabazov's death had triggered what appeared to be a wake-up call for a number of the … Continue reading HITMAN: Patient Zero Campaign Mission 2, The Author
HITMAN dropped its GOTY-edition along with a new campaign titled "Patient Zero". It includes four new missions in familiar locations and some new disguises. Not having played this game in quite a while, I ran into loads of trouble reaquainting myself with the controls. I nevertheless finished the campaign in a couple of hours and … Continue reading HITMAN: Patient Zero Campaign, Mission 1, The Source
So, two weeks ago, I accidentally deleted my SNIPER ELITE 4-profile. It happens. To me, anyway. Unfortunately, I had no backup save, which meant everything was gone. My XP points, my rank, my carefully and lovingly upgraded arsenal... poof! Frustrating, right? But, as a matter of fact, once you've mastered the game, starting from scratch … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE III and SNIPER ELITE 4 – Ranking the Campaign Missions
So, it took me some time to write this post, more than writing the other three concerning Middle-Earth: Shadow of War. The reason? Act IV itself. There will be NO SPOILERS for the ending, just some tips on how to defend your forts. There will be SPOILERS for Act III. So. Let's get to it. … Continue reading Assault! Defense! Carnage! (Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – Act IV)
Be warned, there will be HUGE SPOILERS! Don't read this post unless you want to spoil yourself and/or if you need tips on how to effectively fight the Witch King of Angmar and Sauron. I KNEW IT! I F*ING KNEW IT! (Takes a deep breath) So, from the very start of the game I expected … Continue reading Rings! Wraiths! Revenge! (Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – Act III)
The journey of the Gravewalker, aka the undead half human, half elf creature that were once Talion the Ranger and Celebrimbor the Ringmaker continues. While Act I served as Prologue of the game, in its second Act Middle-Earth: Shadow of War returns to the old fun and games that is forging an army out of … Continue reading Armies! Battles! Conquest! (Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – Act II)
I played Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor with great gusto, mainly thanks to the excellent and highly addictive Nemesis System that made each encounter intensely personal and competitive. A Troubled Pact For those who haven't played Shadow of Mordor, here's a short recap. Hero of the game is Talion, a ranger from Gondor, who is stationed … Continue reading Ambush! Betrayal! Combat! (Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – Act I)
So, I have been playing Survival missions on Sniper Elite 4 a lot. You know that, if you`re reading my blog. One reason for that is the game itself, of course, but the more important reason is that I have found a load of really cool team mates to play alongside and I really enjoy … Continue reading I need some (female) friends on PSN
The games I start playing and then end up finishing in more or less one really, really long session are rare. The driving factor usually is curiosity. I simply want to find out what happens next. Not necessarily because the story is so gripping, or emotional, as was most recently the case with Hellblade-Senua's Sacrifice. … Continue reading Dishonored: Death of the Outsider or To die or not to die
I was very excited when I first heard about Hellblade-Senua's Sacrifice by Ninja Theory. I was intrigued by the idea, by the setting and so I waited, patiently, until the game was finally released on 8th of August. The concept and story In the beginning, we know very little of Senua. She is a celtic … Continue reading Hellblade- Senua’s Sacrifice – A Journey Through Hell
While waiting for Hellblade-Senua's Sacrifice to download, I decided to play Feist, developed by Bits & Beasts and published by Finji, which is an adventure platformer of exceptional beauty and simplicity. A brutal quest for survival in the name of love Our tiny, furry hero of little words or, rather, squeaks, is out tracking the … Continue reading Feist – The cutest game ever
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 has to be the most bug-ridden game I've played since Assassin's Creed Unity. I didn't count the number of times the frame froze or the game simply crashed, but there were a lot of those moments at the most inopportune of times. I still finished it and here is why. An … Continue reading Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 – Average, annoying and at times quite brillant
I recently played a lot of SNIPER ELITE 4 cooperative maps, like, really a lot. And I can also fairly claim that I have put enough hours into playing the campaign, DLC and survival missions by myself that by now I have truly mastered my primary weapon, which is a Carcano rifle. I am also … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 4 – Let’s play Coop
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, which was announced during E3 2017 and coming in September, is the story everyone who played Dishonored 2 saw coming from miles away. You did not even have to have played the two story-DLCs of the first game with assassin Daud as the main protagonist. The clues were just that … Continue reading Give Me More Story (DLC)
