Resident Evil 4 [Remake]: Separate Ways – Ada, my love!

It’s time to return to sunny and plagas infected Spain. So, suit up and arm yourself with the best weapons available! Separate Ways is a ten-euro DLC/expansion for Resident Evil 4, and honestly, for that price, I thought it was going to be a cheap cash grab, but boy, I was entirely wrong. Positively surprised by AAA gaming in these apocalyptic days? Yes, apparently, it is still possible.

Resident Evil 4 [Remake] – Welcome to Spanish Village Life

Welcome to the beautiful country of Spain. Here you will never go cold, as Spain is the country of the sun! To make sure your vacation here will be one to remember, don’t for any reason anger the locales. They do not like outsiders much. If by any chance this happens, be sure to keep a health-spray handy, and run like hell unless you want to get uncomfortable close to the Las Plagas. And you don’t want that!

Resident Evil 4 (remake) is one of the better remakes that has been made and does not feel like a pure cash grab on our dear nostalgia. However, even if I enjoyed it, I can’t help to feel that in the end, it’s just a huge waste of time narrative-wise – as the franchise treads water in the same old murky pool that we already have splashed around in for years. Regardless, it’s a fun well-made game, with a few niggling issues that stand out from the original. Let’s see what it is all about.

Abscission – Deworming Time

Abscission is an atmospheric Lovecraftian murder mystery with the flavor of film noir detective elements sprinkled on top. Sounds good, right? Well, to a degree it is, at least in the beginning, but sadly the pacing of the game changes for the worse rather quickly. In its favor though, the mystery remains intriguing throughout. So, let’s get into it.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous [DLC] The Lord of Nothing – Prepare to be Drained

Finally, The Lord of Nothing expansion is here! It’s the direct continuation of the storyline from Through the Ashes. That DLC had a pretty interesting tale about a group of ragtag survivors of the apocalyptic demonic attack on Kenabres. However, not very surprising it ended on a giant icy cliffhanger, which we will get to see the end to here. Through the Ashes felt smaller, while still being part of the bigger picture, aka the main game. That aspect made it unique. So, the question stands – how does The Lord of Nothing fare comparable and does it have a satisfying conclusion to the story?
