I have a difficult relationship with Bethesda games. On the one hand, I never get tired of pointing out bugs in games and getting upset about them, especially with this publisher. On the other hand, there are franchises that I don’t bat an eyelid at to lower my standards. From one of these franchises comes the game that this article will be about – Fallout: New Vegas. Read here how I liked it.

The longest of all journeys โ Part III
Today we will talk about the third part of the “The Longest Journey” series (parts one and two are of course also available). We end the small detour into the so-called “Dreamfall saga”, which revolves around Zoรซ Castillo – and there is another genre change. Can the game convince us? Let’s find out!
Continue readingThe longest of all journeys โ Part II
In the last article we talked about the first part of the “The Longest Journey” series, today we are talking about part two. “Dreamfall: The Longest Journey” does not show any particular ingenuity in its title, but that is not the point. Today we’re looking at the story and the change of genre – and what I thought of it.
Continue readingThe longest of all journeys – Part I
Today we are talking about the first part of a long journey – the longest of all journeys to be exact. In the first part of the game series “The Longest Journey”, we get caught up in an adventure with art student April Ryan that directly threatens the existence of two worlds. Let’s talk about how that worked out here.

Today we’re not just talking about one game, but three – and somehow an entire series. “Ratchet and Clank” is a classic on the Playstation that has lasted for decades. So far I’ve only had the pleasure on the PSP, so it was time to catch up on the first three parts. You can read here whether it was worth it.

Recently we’ve ventured into a genre that I haven’t had too much exposure to in the past. The English “Graphic Adventure” doesn’t translate very well, but the German Wikipedia term – Point&Click – somehow doesn’t fit either. So let’s find out what it is and how I found it in this (spoiler-free) article.

“SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated” is a video game from the – go figure – SpongeBob SquarePants universe. It is the re-release of the original title from 2003 and was a very entertaining jump’n’run game for us almost two years ago. A new installment was released this year with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. I was really excited about the old part, so we played the new one shortly after it was released. Read here what I think about it.

Today’s article is about two games that I loved then and still love: Lego Star Wars I and II. They were the first two Lego games developed by Traveller’s Tales and inspired virtually all subsequent Lego video games – plus they have sparked my enthusiasm for it. How exactly can you read here.
Continue readingUnwritten Tales and where to read them
Today we’re talking about a game that was absolutely brilliant for me and at the same time a major disappointment – or rather a series. “The Book Of Unwritten Tales” was completely unknown to me, started out very strong, but then unfortunately let me down. You can find out exactly how here.

Puzzle and VR – a mixture that, in my opinion, harmonizes perfectly, but can also go completely wrong. I’m a big fan of both genres, so today’s games definitely piqued my interest: Moss Book I and II. First released exclusively for PS VR, but thankfully later for PC. A strange mix of classic and VR controls. And a special main character – can that be good?
