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
First, I should mention that I am a sucker for storytelling. Give me a good story and I will continue reading, listening, watching or playing all day and all night. Not healthy, I am aware of that. Doesn't matter to me, after all, you only live once. Apart from books and games I love movies … Continue reading Code Elektro – Triads
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)
Mirror's Edge Catalyst, which was published in 2016, is the first reboot I have played where I have also played the original, Mirror's Edge (2008). Now, while the reboot of TV-franchises and movies over in Hollywood may suggest otherwise, reboots are not a new phenomenon. Usually, reboots serve one specific purpose: to cater to an … Continue reading Are reboots a good thing? With Mirror’s Edge the answer is yes and no
I always wanted to play the original Thief-games, but back in the day I was a teenager and I had no money for PC games. Then I bought a PS4 and guess what? One of the very first games I played on my brand new console back in early 2015 was the Thief-reboot. Why this … Continue reading Favorite Mission Five – A Friend in Need
So, today I read on Variety.com that Netflix will be bringing The Witcher to the small screen. Not the game, of course, but the Witcher-saga by polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. I love the books and I really adore CD Projekt Red's The Witcher III-The Wild Hunt, but... Why the hell do you have to go … Continue reading Too much to ask for? (This is a rant)
I don't like shooters. That was, for a very long time, something I firmly believed. The main reason for that was not necessarily that I really suck at shooting, which I usually do, but had more to do with the fact that I find picking off targets arcade style incredibly boring. There are a very … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE – A Stealth-Survival-Shooter, I think. And pretty awesome.
As mentioned in my last Favorite Mission-post, this one brings us back to the Assassin's Creed-franchise, more specifically back to Assassin's Creed II and beautiful Venice. Why this game? Italy! Venice! Ezio! Need I say more? That's what I thought. Seriously, though, I still consider Assassin's Creed II the best to date (Let's face it, … Continue reading Favorite Mission Four – Assassin’s Creed II, Deja vú
While I really don't listen to the radio, I love discovering new music. Some artists I get to know through video games, others by way of Twitter. Not every artist that catches my attention ultimately becomes a favorite, like Code Elektro did two years ago, but here are some that did. (Actually, I've been meaning … Continue reading It’s all about the music
I remember browsing through last year's E3-coverage and that there were a few games that caught my eye: Horizon: Zero Dawn was one of them, Vampyr another, but the one game I am really excited about right now is the upcoming sequel to the excellent Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, which is called Middle-earth: Shadow of … Continue reading Horizon Zero Dawn is out – And I don’t really care
I thought the first DLC Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, System Rift, was excellent, but A Criminal Past upped the ante (even without Faridah Malik, who I secretly had hoped to see again). It also leaves some interesting question marks. Now, you really shouldn't play this DLC whithout having finished the main game, but that's been … Continue reading Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – A Criminal Past or The Winner Takes It All
