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)

When I first pitched the idea for this blog post to my sister she was like "that's because they are the underdog personified" and that sums it up quite nicely. In a very, very depressing way. The question I am asking is this: Why are resistance leaders so often portrayed as being female, or female … Continue reading The Face Of Resistance In Video Games Is (Often) Female and Black

So, I admit, the announcement trailer for GreedFall II: The Dying World, which was published yesterday, was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise.

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)
The excellent DLC to Spider's GreedFall dropped in June of 2021, but I only discovered and played it now.

Actually, the game … Continue reading Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts (PS4) – A Fun Ride For Snipers and Stealth-Afficinados
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....
Ghost of Tsushima was my GOTY 2020 and I just replayed it because I needed to shape up for the Iki Island-Expansion that comes with the Director's Cut.
