#192 Heavy Rain (PS4) 🌧️☔

Fun 10/10

Diff 3/10

One of the best games I've ever played, even after all those years. I've already platted the PS3 version back in 2014 so this was me revisiting this beautiful game to stack the plat.

Still blown away by how brilliantly this game was made back in 2010, it was my first interactive drama game and I was instantly hooked. The facial gestures and acting, the story and how they linked all 4 characters in one plot.. the buildup to the Origami Killer reveal was fantastic.. the soundtracks.. the endings ( especially Ethan's) were all great...and rather depressing 😭

Of course, Kamikaze trophy can be annoying, but I used this guide and I got it first try

Nice work on those The Evil Within stacks 😍 I platted the PS3 version last year but I'll definitely go for the PS4 version at some point cuz I absolutely loved the game and the Akumu experience 😊 well done 👌

I am really enjoying this FMV (Full Motion Video game) genre, love those little films with good acting and atmosphere (mainly by Wales Interactive) 

So far I've done: 

Late Shift

The Complex

The Bunker 

On my list to play: 

Erica

Maid of Sker

The infectious Madness of Dr. Dekker

The Shapeshifting Detective

I Saw Black Clouds

Telling Lies

Simulacra 

Five Dates 

Any other titles I might have missed ? Suggestions will be appreciated, cheers 

#186 Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice

Fun 10/10

Absolutely Stunning ❤️. Hellblade is a very unique experience that you will thoroughly enjoy your journey finishing it.

The game was made by Ninja Theory, a small indie studio that managed to deliver one hell of a beautiful game, fun fact: Melina Jurgens (Senua's voice and motion captor) is neither a voice actress nor an actress in real life, yet she's done a fantastic job playing the character.

You're following the story or Senua, a Celtic warrior that sets on a revengeful quest to conquer her fears and try to save her lover, while passing through stages of anger, mutiny, defying your gods, denial, guilt, and finally letting go of all your beliefs and moving on.

It is safe to say that the game is simply perfect, the gameplay, the environment and color variation, the story, the writing, the narration, the voice acting, the soundtracks.. there were all just perfect ❤️ you'll encounter puzzles that will require you to use your illusion and mix it you surrounding environment to unlock new paths. There was also a few boss battles that were so intense with great combat mechanics as well as a fun and special focus ability.

The game tackles serious mental illnesses like psychosis and voice-hearing, as well as hallucinations, that were brilliantly put together in a video game with the help of psychology professors and ex- patients that described their harrowing experiences and helped form the game's theme.

Senua is one of the best female video game lead characters that you will ever see, totally recommend this gem 💎❤️

#185 Zombie Army 4 Dead War

Fun 9/10

Diff 3/10

Super fun game if you like zombies and coop games, playing with friends add to the enjoyment. Not a bad platinum just grindy especially rank 100 trophy.

You'll need to finish the game on hard with 4 players while getting all collectibles, plus some misc trophies here and there, getting mastery level for 3 weapons and finishing hordes waves, all easily doable while going for rank 100. 

Next up: Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice 

#184 Minecraft Story Mode Season 2

Fun 10/10
Diff 2/10

This was a nice great sequel to the first season, honestly one of the underrated Telltale games that not many people noticed or played, due to the game being delisted and rare to find physically I suppose.

Season 2 follows the story of Jesse and his/her friends from S1, with new adventures and a great villain all brilliantly linked to a fantastic story full of emotions, crucial decisions, character development, puzzles and packed action with the same top notch voice acting done by known celebrities, mainly Patton Oswalt and the beloved Ashley Johnson ❤️ 

Another TT bites the dust 💞😍 

#182 Sniper Elite 4

Time  25hrs

That's all 3 SE games platinumed now! 😁 (V2, 3 and 4), shout out to my friends -Natalie, Harrison and Hossam- for the coop stuff..cheers guys! ❤️💕❤️

After I accidentally wiped out my collectibles progress (game had a stupid option to "clear collectibles" without indicating that it would do so 🙄) I almost gave up on this one and gave it a break before returning to it.

Done 3 campaign playthroughs in total, normal, authentic and collectibles clean up (there's ALOT) plus the survival mission and 2 coop overwatch missions (with their respective collectibles 🤦)
