DontNod's episodic adventure Life is Strange (read my review here) is an enchanting game, slow but intense, with a great atmosphere that at times feels like re-living a lazy summer afternoon. Numerous choices and dialogue options make for great player engagement and I really loved it. Which is why I had to go and buy … Continue reading Life is Strange 2, Episode 01: Roads
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)
