New Game – Assassin’s Creed Unity

Posted on Written by



I tried Metro Redux but I just could not get into it, not sure why but I was not enjoying it. So I went with Assassin's Creed Unity instead, Paris looks lovely & thankfully the game has been patched a million times so I've had no issues playing.

Yes it's more of the same but I'm enjoying it so far running around Paris rooftops. This time round you play as Arno, so far he has experienced his father dying, being adopted by a Grand Master (Templar) who is also murdered with Arno being accused & thrown into Jail.

Yes it is the same old formula with the map fully loaded with icons etc but it's enjoyable pleasure getting the various viewpoints, taking part in a crowd event & lock-picking the odd chest or door. It's a formula that Ubisoft have used for quite a few years in many games but the story is what changes, this is what keeps me interested & coming back to the AC Series.

I've played quite a bit of the game now onto Sequence 4, the story moves along at a swift pace but I've taken time out to focus on the Cafe Theatre side missions & upgrade my various weapons & armour.

CounterSpy – Completed

Posted on Written by

Completed CounterSpy over the weekend, great little indie game. It does get tougher towards the end with stronger enemies & an increase in the numbers. I then tried Never Alone but just did not enjoy the gameplay mechanics, it looks lovely but is more a documentary first & game second. I've still got a few more indie games to enjoy but for now it's Assassin's Creed Unity.

New Game – CounterSpy

Posted on Written by

Time to take a break from playing  a 40 hour epic & play some of the smaller PS+ titles I have accumulated over the past few months. I saw Abbas play CounterSpy & it looked interesting enough to give it a go, It is tough trying to go for all stealth kills & sometines I have to resort to a firefight.

One of my better missions below where I managed to moved the Defcon from 2 to 5.

Time for something else after completing a 40 hour epic & play some of the smaller PSN titles I have accumulated over the past few months. I've got a few to enjoy in CounterSpy, Valiant Hearts, Child of Light & Never Alone. I saw Abbas play CounterSpy & it looked fun enough to give it a go, It is however tough trying to go stealth kills only & sometimes I have to resort to a firefight to complete a level.

One of my better missions below (trust me there are quite a few where I have failed miserably) where I managed to moved the Defcon from 2 to 5.




I still have a couple of retail games on the shelf to play in Assassin Creed Unity & Metro Redux. I won't be buying any more until I have completed those which to be honest might take me up to June when Batman Arkham Knight is released.

Shadow of Mordor – Completed

Posted on Written by

A 40 hour game has taken me nearly 3 months to complete, that is poor going. I've not had much time for gaming lately.

I completed the Lithariel missions & then continued on with the main quest with the Lord of Mordor. This mission has you controlling your warchiefs to take down a large army or Uruks & Black Captains.




You then arrive at the Tower and a twist in the plot reveals more about your return & control. You then have to defeat the tower which is an odd fight because I found it very easy with stealth attacks. The last mission Mordor in Flames has you attacking The Talons of the Black Hand which are more powerful captains, luckily all my branded warchiefs survived the previous mission & where on hand to help me take down these captains with ease.

You then finally meet the Black Hand and after some cut scenes are treated to a quick-time section upon completion the Black Hand is defeated. Very disappointing last boss fight way too easy & boring. The Hammer fight was far more enjoyable & challenging.



Anyhow after 40 odd hours, Shadow of Mordor completed. Next CounterSpy.
