Resident Evil 2 Remake: Hardcore + No Damage Playthrough

hisbrokenbutterfly September 20, 2019

A playthrough of Resident Evil 2 Remake on Hardcore difficulty, with no health loss and using only the basic inventory (no bonus weapons).

This is easily one of the best remakes, from every aspect. A good way to check how well-made a game is, is to see how it works on higher difficulties. If it is difficult for difficulty's sake, then in most cases there is something wrong with it. RE2 Remake works excellently on its higher difficulty, mainly because you are able to practice everything before going for it, with replaying the game on its Standard (Normal) difficulty. There are no dramatic differences overall, apart from the expected more aggressive and lethal enemies, finding less ammo, losing more health with every attack, and the significantly tougher boss fights. But all this is practical stuff, that you get to learn by replaying the game or specific parts of it.

In this playthrough, I first play Scenario A with Leon and Scenario B with Claire, and then the opposite.

Vampyr - Pandora's Box Quest & Secret Vault Puzzle Walkthrough

hisbrokenbutterfly August 30, 2023

This is a walkthrough post for "Pandora's Box", a fascinating and complicated quest in Vampyr . It spans through several main missions and is connected with a subsequent brilliant puzzle that opens a secret vault which, in turn, rewards you with a cool weapon, a special collectible and an achievement. Main mission "Unnatural Selection" : after you find your way via the sewers to reach the Temple Church area but before you go to meet Aloysius Dawson, run around the perimeter of the church to locate an underground passage. At the end of this passage, an Indian fortune teller, Usher Talltree, will be sitting surrounded by curios, doing his magic. Talk to him to get one important hint for Aloysius Dawson, and also have him offer you his quest, Pandora's Box, to find his stolen notebook. If you have enough money, you can ask him to "read the cards" and every time you do this, he will give you hints on several residents. I skipped this part, since it is

Assassin's Creed Odyssey - New Game - Hard (Full Playthrough, from Lv1 to Lv 82)

hisbrokenbutterfly November 25, 2022

As much as I love replaying Odyssey, in my opinion nothing beats that first time exploration and discovering everything from the beginning. For this reason, I decided to record a playthrough in New Game, where I start from Level 1 and get everything from the start. There is a lot of grinding of course, which for some people may be tiresome or boring, but personally I enjoy it in this kind of games, and Odyssey especially which, moreover, is among the games that I love the most. My intention was to reach Level 99+, but after covering everything (and more), the highest that I managed to achieve was Level 82. What I cover: Basically all the stories and everything that is on the map, namely: -The main Odyssey story -The modern day story -The Gates of Atlantis (the four artifacts) -From The Shadows (the Cultists questlines) -Legacy of the First Blade -The Lost Tales of Greece and the two special blue-colored bounties -The Heir of Memories including the three Underworld episodes (Elysium, Un

Tomb Raider I: Atlantean Scion & Unfinished Business Playthrough

hisbrokenbutterfly July 28, 2022

The last playthrough in my Tomb Raider Nostalgia Series is that of the very first game, both of the classics and the series as a whole. The original Tomb Raider game is a pure vintage gem with so much sentimental value that it makes up for the fuss that you have to go through in order to decently run and record it on a modern computer system. The resolution is a bit low in the main game, but everything is smooth and running well in Unfinished Business, the Gold expansion, which, by the way, is one of the two classic Tomb Raiders that I have played less (along with The Lost Artifact, as I mentioned in my Tomb Raider III report). Now playing UB again, I remembered why: although it is beautiful visually and very elaborate as far as gameplay and puzzles are concerned, I soon got fed up with those mutant mummies with their annoying (insert non-decent characterization here) screeching noises. Regardless, the Gold expansion, like the main game, is a lovely game, and very interesting too fr

Resident Evil 4 Remake - Professional - New Game - No Damage

hisbrokenbutterfly August 08, 2023

This is my playthrough of Resident Evil 4 Remake in Professional difficulty, New Game, and No Damage mode. The "no damage" part was the real challenge, of course, because of certain traits that the game has that make such a mode quite frustrating. The remake is nothing like the classic Resident Evil4 when it comes to attempting a run without getting scratched. Technically, the original was more difficult but it was set up in such a way as to allow you room for planning out an effective strategy. The Knights room, for instance, the room where, in the original game, you find the King's Grail, has very limited space compared to its counterpart in the remake, which is the room where you find the Lion's Head; but the way the enemies move and attack, you can organize your strategy a lot better than in the remake, where the knights wiggle their heads so much and so fast that landing a successful headshot on them feels like some kind of impossible feat. In the remake, alth

Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft & The Lost Artifact Playthrough

hisbrokenbutterfly July 23, 2022

Next up in my Tomb Raider Nostalgia Playthrough Series is Tomb Raider 3, the third installment of the classics. There were quite a few innovations in this game compared the to the first and the second, the most memorable being the fact that, after the first section was completed, you could play the subsequent three adventures in any order you wanted. Like in Tomb Raider 2, a brief but fabulous bonus level would unlock if you completed the game with all secrets found. Since these playthroughs are going to be a one-time thing - that is, I will probably won't be replaying the classic Tomb Raiders in full, any time soon at least - I am trying to cover as much stuff as possible. Random kills or pickups that have no interest or are simply in the regular path, may be left behind, but I do find all the secrets and if there is exploration involved (including pickups) in areas that are optional, I go for them as well. In this game in particular, I am referring to the legendary River Ganges l

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Deadly Obsession Longplay

hisbrokenbutterfly October 23, 2022

This is one of the very few cases in this blog where I am writing a report for a playthrough that is one longplay and not a playlist, and the reason is that I have a few things to say about the (apparently dreaded) Deadly Obsession difficulty level of Shadow of the Tomb Raider . I recently reinstalled this gorgeous game in order to play its seven DLC stories that I already had aquired but had forgotten about them completely. They turned out to be absolutely wonderful, but in the process I realized that although I own the game since many years now, I had never attempted to play it in its hardest difficulty level, which is Deadly Obsession. In reality, Deadly Obsession is not exactly a difficutly level. If you have played the game in its standard hardest mode, One With the Jungle, you already have mastered its most difficult version. Deadly Obsession is essentialy the One With the Jungle difficulty minus the automatic checkpoints. You can only save on base camps, and thankfully the game

Resident Evil 4 Remake - New Game / Hardcore Playthrough (No Bonus Weapons)

hisbrokenbutterfly June 02, 2023

So we finally have the long-awaited remake of Resident Evil 4 in our hands, and I must say it was very worth the wait. I love the evolution of the story, its new-found gloominess and melancholy and the depths to which the characters were explored. The game is gorgeous and it has managed to have combine its nostalgic vibes with a modern touch. The environments are amazing, the character design is fantastic. The new Louis is a feast for the eyes, both looks and character- wise, and Krauser looking and sounding like Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner is a great evolution. I like how Ashley now looks more her age and the revamped Salazar is already iconic (and bears an uncanny resemblance to my grandmother). As for our lovely Leon, he is poetry in motion as always. I am playing in New Game and on Hardcore difficulty, with regular inventory, not using any bonus weapons or items, nor the Body Armor. I also go for all the treasures (at least I think I got all of them, because I deliberately did
