Throughout the main game of Dishonored for PS4, you will be coming across information on the assassin Daud, the Knife of Dunwall, and it is an intimidating tale indeed. You will learn that he is probably the son of a witch, a worshipper of the Outsider and a master of the arcane. That he was … Continue reading Dishonored DLC – The Knife of Dunwall (MAJOR SPOILERS)
So, on a whim, I decided to spend my Christmas vacation revisiting the world of Dishonored, one of my favorite franchises to date. Since I have not gotten around to setting up my PS3 in my new place and probably never will, I started with replaying Dishonored 2 for PS4. Read my review here and … Continue reading Dishonored Definitive Edition – A Replay
Teer Fradee, the island where Spiders' latest game GreedFall is set, is a terrifying island. There are gigantic beasts aplenty, warring tribes, back-stabbing mercenaries and colonial nations locked in age-old rivalry. Since the game's hero/heroine de Sardet is neither an assassin nor a crack soldier, he/she will have to experience the total sum of the … Continue reading GreedFall – Dealing with the factions
The second expansion of HITMAN 2, The Last Resort, comes with a pretty straightforward mission: all you have to do is kill three targets. Easy, right? Obviously, there will be many spoilers.

I had been looking forward to playing GreedFall - from the same studio behind the surprisingly intriguing The Technomancer - ever since it was announced.

This mission leads 47 into Janus' lair. The founder of and mastermind behind the Ark Society, the shadowy cabal the agent is tracking, is hiding in idyllic suburbia, where barbecues, muffin sales and explosive gardening seem to be favorite past-times. The town is filled with opportunities, disguises and inventive weapons, but I had a hard … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Five, Another Life
Fans of the Sniper Elite-franchise have been craving new content for the excellent Sniper Elite 4 for many months. A new map for coop would be appreciated just as much as a new DLC.

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?

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)
