After having detailled my favorite run of Landing Force, the second story-DLC of SNIPER ELITE 5 I put a pause on playing that game for quite some time. Therefore I did not realise that there are three additional story DLCs that have come out since. Those are Conqueror, Rough Landing and Kraken Awakens. Like the … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 – Comparing The Story DLCs (PS5)
When I first saw the trailer for Ghostwire: Tokyo (Tango Gameworks) I was intrigued. But, since I am no fan of horror elements, I decided not to play it back when it was published in 2022. I have sinced revised that decision and was pleasantly surprised by this action-adventure. Despite some creepy elements and jump-scares. … Continue reading Ghostwire: Tokyo – A Pleasant Ride (PS5)

Ukrainian studio FrogWares released the remake of 2007s Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened in 2022. The endresult of this self-proclaimed crossover of Sherlock Holmes and H.P. Lovecraft is pretty amazing. While I have no clue about H.P. Lovecraft's works, I love Frogwares' Sherlock Holmes games. Sherlock Holmes The Awakened picks up the story in London, Baker … Continue reading Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
I have been looking forward to this game for sooo long! But, since it was not available for PlayStation when it came out in 2021 for quite a while, I kinda forgot about it. And then I stumbled across it by chance only recently once I got a little tired of Red Dead Redemption II. … Continue reading Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One – A Review
As mentioned in my review, I treated Red Dead Redemption II as a horse simulator in the beginning, and still do. I love games where I get to ride horses! Ghost of Tsushima comes to mind, when it comes to having a relationship with your horse, though I admit Red Dead Redemption II does not … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption II – My Favorite Horses
So, yeah, late to the party again, but I do have an excuse: I am not into the Western-genre at all. Which is why RockStar's acclaimed Red Dead Remption (2010) and its prequel Red Dead Redemption II (2018) were never on the top of my list of games to play. Of course, over the years, … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption II – A Masterpiece At Second Glance
When I played God Of War (2018), I was blown away by the stunning world and the blossoming relationship between Kratos, the titular God Of War, and his young son, Atreus. Then, over a month ago, along came God Of War: Ragnarök. Let's dive in. And, in case you did not anticipate that: There WILL … Continue reading God Of War: Ragnarök (PS4) – A Review
So I finally took on the neat challenge that is Landing Force, SNIPER ELITE 5's second story DLC. The first being Wolf Mountain, of course. As with pretty much any mission in a SNIPER ELITE-game, the Landing Force DLC offers main objectives and optional ones. The Mission In preparation of the landing of the allied … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 (PS4) – Landing Force (DLC)
So, I watched the first two episodes of Amazon's Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power. That experience prompted me to A. Rewatch Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings-Trilogy, B. Replay Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor and C. Replay its sequel, Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War. The latter one especially being a masterful tale that I … Continue reading Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor – The Bright Lord (DLC)
Dragon Age: Inquisition remains one of my favorite games to date and not a year passes that I do not replay it once or twice (or more). And just like any fan of the franchise I am eagerly awaiting Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the sequel to this gem. You can read up on the main game … Continue reading Dragon Age: Inquisition – The DLCs
The Ambrose Island-expansion of HITMAN 3 sees 47 team up with Grey again, which is a nice touch, I think. After all, Grey had far too little exposure in HITMAN 3. In this post I will be detailling ways of how to fulfill your three objectives. Which means that there will be SPOILERS. Also, this … Continue reading HITMAN 3: Shadows in the Water (Ambrose Island)
Assassin's Creed celebrates its 15th birthday! And I could not have a more ambiguous history with this franchise. While I did play the games chronologically, I admit that Assassin's Creed II remains my alltime favorite. Having the advantage of living in Europe and - at that - very close to Italy, I actually took a … Continue reading Tuscany and Venice, Ezio style! (Assassin’s Creed II)
When I first pitched the idea for this blog post to my sister she was like "that's because they are the underdog personified" and that sums it up quite nicely. In a very, very depressing way. The question I am asking is this: Why are resistance leaders so often portrayed as being female, or female … Continue reading The Face Of Resistance In Video Games Is (Often) Female and Black

The latest installment of Rebellion's SNIPER ELITE-franchise - SNIPER ELITE 5 - was released on May 26th and I have spent the past two days working my way through the campaign - albeit not in the stealthiest, or most pacifistic, manner. Yes, pacifistic runs are now an option, which I greatly appreciate. SNIPER ELITE 5 … Continue reading SNIPER ELITE 5 (PS4) – First Look
So, I admit, the announcement trailer for GreedFall II: The Dying World, which was published yesterday, was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise. GreedFall really grew on me and I have been a fan of Spiders ever since I played The Technomancer.
