The third mission sees Agent 47 play tourist in some backwater village called Santa Fortuna, which is run by the Delgado cartel. His targets are drug lord Rico Delgado, his PR woman Andrea Martinez and their cook, Jorge Franco. Now, while it is a fun map where you can explore a ton of things, it … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Three, The Three-Headed Serpent
I got to say: I really enjoy the new maps. Every one of them offers a different setting in a different location and a ton of possibilities. The second mission brings Agent 47 to Miami and into the colorful circuit of endurance racing. His targets are Robert Knox, CEO of Kronstadt Industries, and his bad … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Two, The Finish Line
Feels good being back! I have't had the chance to start playing HITMAN 2 up until now, but it sure feels good to dive back into a world of assassination and make the world my weapon, to quote the game's tagline. Stylish environments, a cool-headed, badass assassin plus his equally badass handler and that very … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission One, Nightcall
It is the last day of the year and I have decided to sit down and look back on the past twelve months of whatchaa.com. As you would, right? First, though, I wish to thank all of you who have stopped by over the past months, for reviews as well as playthroughs, tips and hints … Continue reading A Look Back at 2018: Games, Goals and Changes
At first I was confused and annoyed. Then, ambition got the better of me and now I am really glad I did not post this last week, when I first finished The Council's Episode Five: Checkmate. (Also, sorry for not having posted in such a long time! I had to move and internet access was … Continue reading The Council, Episode Five: Checkmate
One step forward, one step back. Honestly, what's the story with The Council? I mean, literally. After Episode Three: Ripples went forward with the infamous council we have all been waiting for (that's me), offering nice powerplays and some intriguing surprises, Episode Four: Burning Bridges feels like a cheap thrill novel where you can't stop … Continue reading The Council, Episode Four: Burning Bridges
The thing about story-DLCs is that I really expect them to bring something new to the gameplay. That was true for Middle-earth: Shadow of War's first story-DLC, Blade of Galadriel, which let us play the elven assassin Eltariel and use her awesome light powers. It is also true of the second story-DLC, Desolation of Mordor. … Continue reading Middle-earth: Shadow of War – Desolation of Mordor-DLC (SPOILERS)
Summer is almost gone, but where I live it has been very hot again this week. So, today, while putting on my gloves (yes, I keep posh thin leather gloves in my car) in order to be able to even touch the steering wheel, I thought about whatt wintery missions and games I have played … Continue reading A Hot Summer: Games and Missions to help you cool down
You may think this is about a Rainbow Six Siege-mission, but you could not be more wrong... So, it's been a while since I updated this series, but in order to remedy that woeful neglect, here's a quick recap of which games and missions were featured so far: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Saving Caterina Sforza: The … Continue reading Favorite Mission Six – Hostage Situation Resolved
Now we're cooking! So, the third episode of The Council finally - FINALLY - moves the story forward and reveals some of the secrets that have been lurking on the edges of the plot so far. Since it was ultra hot these past few weeks and my apartment is a furnace during summertime anyways, which … Continue reading The Council, Episode Three: Ripples
First: Not nearly enough people are playing this game! Now that is off my chest, again, I highly recommed Aragami, the supernatural stealth game by Lince Works, that recently got its first expansion called Aragami: Nightfall. The world is beautiful and mastering the shadow techniques fun. Stealth is pretty hard, combat does not exist, really, … Continue reading Aragami: Nightfall (Spoilers)
Vampyr by Dontnod is an intriguing RPG action game. You play as Dr. Jonathan Reid, an expert in blood transfusion techniques, who, ironically, is turned into a vampire, or, rather, an Ekon, upon his return from the frontlines of the First World War. Set on investigating a strange epidemic similar to the Spanish Flu, he … Continue reading Vampyr: Skills, Kills and Conscience (Mild Spoilers)
I know, I know, my initial review of Detroit: Become Human was full of praise, so you might be asking yourself: why does she suddenly hate that game? Let's make this clear: I don't hate it. It's great in its own way. But Detroit: Become Human is also a sneaky, flashy little game that, at … Continue reading All the things I hated about Detroit: Become Human (This is a rant, beware of SPOILERS)
Okay, so Detroit: Become Human takes your choices seriously. "How far will you go?" pretty much sums up the player's objective in this game. Will I manage to get all three protagonists to the very end? Or will I have to sacrifice one or more of them for the cause? This post will detail three … Continue reading Detroit: Become Human – Will I be able to save them all?

See, I have had high hopes for Detroit: Become Human ever since it was announced, but after having played the demo, I was no longer so sure whether or … Continue reading Detroit: Become Human is a bold, emotional and gritty journey that will test your resolve and morality
Having played A Way Out more than a couple of times and having enjoyed it immensely every time got me thinking about my favorite prison breaks, which was when I realised that there has been at least one memorable prison break-in, too. Beware of spoilers for Dishonored, Watch_Dogs, Assassin's Creed 4, Black Flag, A Way … Continue reading The Art Of The Escape – My favorite prison breaks (and break-ins) in video games
When I first learned about Detroit: Become Human, the upcoming game by Quantic Dream to be released on May 25th, the parallels to Deus ex: Human Revolution seemed glaringly obvious. But, are they that obvious? Let's have a look at these factors: protagonist(s), setting and central conflict(s). Protagonist(s) Adam Jensen, hero of Deus ex: Human … Continue reading Detroit: Become Human vs. Deus ex: Human Revolution
Couch-coop adventure A Way Out not only offers two highly engaging and entertaining characters, it also offers the possibility to play it either Leo's or Vincent's way. Of course, the third option is adapting the duo's approach to any given situation, to give either Vincent or Leo control, whichever you and your buddy decide is … Continue reading A Way Out – Thoughts On The Endings (Spoilers, obviously)
Looking back on the last three months, there have been a couple of great games that I played, one being the highly-recommended Life is Strange and the other the excellent, super-cute VR adventure Moss. Here's the third. On March 23rd, Hazelight dropped A Way Out, a co-op adventure for two players, that can be played … Continue reading A Way Out is great co-op fun with an engaging, fast-paced story
