I actually bought Uncharted 1-3 for the PS3 back in 2015, but I disliked the arcade-style shooting in the first game and didn't play the other two games. But, being a fan of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and having heard only good things about the studio's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2016), I … Continue reading Low Expectations – I played God of War (2018) and Uncharted 4 (2016)

The Last Of Us Part II is charming, upsetting, terrifying and annoying (MAJOR SPOILERS)
A truly great game is a game you will get mad at for different reasons. The most important reason being that it does push you out of your comfort zone, forces you to question your views or even biases. So, yeah, I got mad at The Last Of Us Part II a lot. And mostly … Continue reading The Last Of Us Part II is charming, upsetting, terrifying and annoying (MAJOR SPOILERS)
Dishonored Definitive Edition – A Replay
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
HITMAN 2 Expansion – Golden Handshake (New York Bank Heist)
The Golden Handshake is part of the Expansion pack and one of my favorite maps in HITMAN 2. There are so many possibilities of achieving your objectives! Speaking of: Your task as 47 is to eliminate Providence agent and director of the New York branch of the Milton-Fitzpatrick bank, Athena Savalas, and retrieve data crucial … Continue reading HITMAN 2 Expansion – Golden Handshake (New York Bank Heist)
HITMAN 2, Mission Four, Chasing a Ghost
This mission brings Agent 47 to Mumbai, where he is to kill one of the Shadow Client's most trusted lieutenants along with his two best assets, Dawood Rangan and Vanya Shah. Mumbai is my absolute favorite among all the maps in HITMAN 2 and there are so many possibilities to accomplishing your mission! Since your … Continue reading HITMAN 2, Mission Four, Chasing a Ghost
HITMAN 2, Mission Three, The Three-Headed Serpent
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
HITMAN 2, Mission Two, The Finish Line
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

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
Middle-earth: Shadow of War – Desolation of Mordor-DLC (SPOILERS)
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)
Aragami: Nightfall (Spoilers)
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)
This year just started and already I did something really stupid
Guys, remember my Merry Christmas-post, where I outlined all the games I was looking forward to in 2018 plus the games I wanted to catch up on on my PS3? There were really a lot, right? Well, guess what? I did a really stupid thing and started playing three games at once (Aaaaah!!) and bought … Continue reading This year just started and already I did something really stupid

Also, I now have 25 followers in total, the latest of which just joined today. Thank you so much for sticking with me! … Continue reading Merry Christmas, everyone!
Heroes and Villains of 2017
Welcome to the second part of Whatchaa.com's best and worst of 2017 series! Now, I don't think that a game necessarily needs a powerful nemesis for it to be a good game (The Last of Us comes to mind). But if there is a nemesis (and let's face it, in most cases there is that … Continue reading Heroes and Villains of 2017
My First Foray into Virtual Reality (PSVR)
I am, actually, one of those people who don't quite understand the 3D-movie-hype. Because, you need to understand that, instead of experiencing awesome effects, all I see are colorful yet blurry lines. And, therefore, even though I thought the idea of taking on Virtual Reality on my PS4 fascinating, I was reluctant to try it. … Continue reading My First Foray into Virtual Reality (PSVR)
SNIPER ELITE III and SNIPER ELITE 4 – Ranking the Campaign Missions
So, two weeks ago, I accidentally deleted my SNIPER ELITE 4-profile. It happens. To me, anyway. Unfortunately, I had no backup save, which meant everything was gone. My XP points, my rank, my carefully and lovingly upgraded arsenal... poof! Frustrating, right? But, as a matter of fact, once you've mastered the game, starting from scratch … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE III and SNIPER ELITE 4 – Ranking the Campaign Missions

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)

(Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – Act II)
I need some (female) friends on PSN
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
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider or To die or not to die
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
