Would never have expected DICE of all people to have a subcampaign where you play as a WWII German. Even the "decent guy becomes jaded and realizes he works for an army of assholes" angle is pretty modest.

I actually played this recently. This mission had a cool atmosphere, but DICE never figured out how to make good single player missions for Battlefield despite their fun core gameplay. Wasn't surprised when they ditched the campaign for the new one.

Funny that just a few years ago a AAA WWII shooter releases with a subcampaign playing as a German tank commander, but in the new CoD you can't even pick an Axis operator for multiplayer.

Just some pictures from a random skirmish in a now forgotten place...

The first line of defense of the Germans hilltop defenders get destroyed from a surprise Soviet attack. Grenades and submachine-gun fire cuts the men short!

But all is not lost! A few brave German defenders hold on and repel the advancing Soviets.

Close quarter battle like this requires nerves of steel. Especially if you are only equipped with a dinky bolt action rifle while your enemy comes with submachine-guns a plenty!

Heer soldat taking careful aim from a concealed position in the flank of the attacking Soviets. A smarter commander would have given him a machinegun

A brave Soviet officer charges on and pushes his cowering men to do the same. Unfortunately for him it didn't work. While the Soviets had the initial surprise they didn't manage to do anything meaningful with it. This day Hamburger hilltop remain in German hands.

Despite my 0 Deaths goal, I didn't want to shy away from combat-heavy quests. I remember how this questline to protect Rubin had killed me couple of times until I gave up and ignored it (you get permanently punished for every death across all saves). You have to fight 4 of these Odongh bastards in the dark, and they are tough.

This time, I came prepared.

It went pretty well. Still had to kill one with a knife.

Then I extracted their organs and used them to brew some pain killers to heal my wounds.

Silly kids, but the plague does indeed whisper to you when you are infected.

At least everyone on my list is still alive, and I'm prepared for the final act.

Can't really say yet. It sure looks nice but the gameplay is rather simplistic. There are some puzzles/challenges where you have to glide and boost around to activate portals so it's not a total walking sim but nothing major so far.

How's the game?

Pretty damn good if you use a couple of mods. But that depends on what you like of course. I find the vanilla damage from rifles etc way too low. But there is mods that fixes that issue. I have not touched the singleplayer campaign or multi yet, only the dynamic campaign, and so far it has been really enjoyable. Also using a mod for that setting.

First person for tanks is damn awesome. Graphics is on Arma 1 and maybe 2 level in that mode, so quite impressive for a RTS I think

Game is on a 60% sale too currently.

It doesn't take long before your squad start to look like this instead of relatively low profile sci fi modern movie soldiers

Finished it while listening to Hypocrisy yelling about aliens from the underground, what a coincidence

I wasn't expecting it to be hard. Took me 3 campaigns to win the game. First one I lost because avatar project was completed, second one I fucked up because my party was shit and I literally breezed through it on my third try

7.2/10 from me

Resident Evil: Revelations 2

Excellent sequel, and the raid mode is really addictive. The graphics are better, and there is more variety when it comes to gameplay/puzzles.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2

Revelations is where RE finally clicked with me, really felt like where the series is at its best: good balance between action and slow tension, non-tank modern TPS controls, and a grounded story compared to the mainline.

Someone who doesn't like RE in general can still enjoy Rev1/2 as slower-paced story shooters.

That is so weird to my brain. I like both RE4 and even 5, and I never thought Revelations had the visual charm and exotic, attractive locations that make a very big and important part of the games for me.

Edit: Nevermind, turns out Revelations 2 is a 5-hour game anyway, so it doesn't really matter :D

Northern Journey

This game just keeps giving and giving and giving. The noise / fog is much better-looking ingame and in motion too, just noticed how grainy it looks on screenshots. This guy is one of the greatest mood and environmental artists of our time. There is no pretense here, no marketing and crafty "art style" to appeal to certain audiences or sell more copies. This is just raw talent.
