Ok, so I’m a bit late, but only a bit. Note to self, do not install Windows when you need to post silly stuff online on a “deadline”. Now that that’s out of the way, the Screenshot Sunday #81 can commence. For it, I’m gonna post a pic from a game that a friend reminded me about a few days ago, REalM: Walk of Soul. It’s such a fantastic 2D horror/puzzle game, with a captivating story, even if it’s a bit vague during the first playthrough (needs two). I wholeheartedly recommend this game, and I loved some of the scenes and how they were depicted. Enjoy

Acceptance

I’ve made it in time, just! I think it’s time to go back, to 2012, when Dark Souls was released on PC. Being a little slav back then, I did fumble at first, and even decided the game wasn’t for me. I made it to the giant minotaur-looking thing, but couldn’t get past him after dozens of tries. So, I shelved the game and went on my way. A year or two later, I came, I saw, I conquered. And ever since then, the Souls games have always been at the top of my lists (btw, Sekiro is my favorite in case you weren’t wondering).

So, for Screenshot Sunday #80 let’s take a ride on a giant-ass crow to a land filled to the brim with spooky (and sexy) things, that want to kill you. Let’s take a ride and try to start THE fire!

Ah shit, here we go again!

On time, for once, but it will be a short one. Screenshot Sunday #79 made me go back to The Crew 2 as I knew I had some more cool shots left in the gas tank. This one was particularly fun to make as the photo mode in the game is one of the best. I just love altering the time and weather in games for a shot. That’s why I was able to get this (IMO) fantastic shoot crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in the Big Apple.

Eiiii, I'm drivin' here!

…Ok, this is getting out of hand now. Back-to-back. But I got paid this time, instead of “wasting” time grinding FIFA, so I got that going for me. Now, I will still go with a FIFA 25 screenshot for this (belated) Screenshot Sunday #78. I just have so many shots that I got from playing with the game’s photo mode, and I’d be a shame not to use some of them, right? Anyway, hope you enjoy, and I pinky promise, that the #79 edition will come on a Sunday (hopefully…)

When your role in the group presentation is scrolling to the next slide

I know, I know, I’m late again, but I have a good reason—I was playing FIFA! Managed to hit Rank II in UT Champs, which is nice. So, to celebrate my “victory”, I’m gonna use an amazing shot I managed to snap during my run to a 13-2 finish today! Enjoy this shot I picked for Screenshot Sunday #77!

This is why you need a BBC; it would have stopped the ball from going in!

So, since I got lucky and established a decent connection with an EA PR person, I found myself lucky to receive a review copy for the new FIFA (EA Sports FC now), 25. I didn’t play the last one, so most of the stuff here is new compared to 23. The gameplay is more of the same, yet also new, which is something I always admired about the franchise, it being able to keep that feeling present and allow me to ease into the new meta and stuff, without spending three months learning the ropes. The biggest change this year is the new Player Roles, which also impact how the tactic system is used, since the old one is scrapped. The UI is a bit strange, and takes some time to get used to, but overall, I love how it makes more impact on how the AI plays in game and how your team sets up.

Oh, and since this is a Screenshot Sunday #76 post, let me tell you this—THERE’S A PHOTO MODE!! Yes, FIFA 25 now has a photo mode… I love it! I managed to capture this cool shot with it. It’s a bit basic, but it’s still something I really never thought I would see in a game like this, bc why would someone other than me and a tiny minority of people care for using this? They also made a cool video editor, and it’s a shame this isn’t talked about, but instead the game is just shat on. Give the devs their flowers when they do something as cool as this, don’t just criticize them and the game.

You Shall Not Pass (ball)!!

Welp, another missed one, lol, but life slaps sometimes and you just forget.

Anyway, for Screenshot “SUNDAY” #75 I’m gonna go with this beauty I captured during my time with the Crew 2 at the start of September. I should really go back to the game. Loved how driving around was relaxing. Plus, it’s a super fun way to let yourself unwind after a hard day of work, especially physical labor. Get in your fancy sports car, no need to worry about gasoline, put one of those Ryan Gosling music compilations from YouTube on, and enjoy being literally him while driving around the amazingly rendered landscape of the USA.

Riders on the Storm

Ok, so, ya boy got lucky (again), and a very nice EA PR guy has blessed me with yet another review copy for the franchise I love, but probably spend too much of my time with, lol. This time, it’s gonna be different, cuz I’m gonna make use of it for YouTube content (stay tuned). Anyway, for Screenshot Sunday #74 I went with a cool little shot that shows a new “feature” in the game, the POV Camera that does its magic when there’s a hard foul, or when you score a goal. It looks funny at times, but it looks hell cool too. Also, the damn game has a PHOTO MODE now!!! I am beyond bricked!! The shot is a bit blurred bc it was taken during motion, but again, really love the new POV camera that sometimes is used during replays. Very nice EA, very nice!

POV: You score a sexy goal

For Screenshot Sunday #73 it’s more from The Crew 2. The game is visually stunning, although, it has a few rough edges. But, overall, it’s a blast to just drive across the scaled-back map of the USA. I did manage to play a few actually missions and game modes, but I’m still in love with just driving around, aimlessly if you will. Doing so netted me some cool shots, which were all possible due to how excellent the photo mode is (and I gotta say, almost all newer Ubisoft games have one I think, and each time the implementation is amazing).

I got to capture a cool wildlife moment in the game that I wasn’t prepared for, so enjoy:

A deer in (the) sunlight

So, in case you are living under a rock, Ubisoft’s The Crew 2 (base game) is 98% off (1$) on Steam. It’s super affordable, even for a broke boy like me. I snagged it because of the map it has, and so far, I’m not disappointed at all in my choice. I’ve yet to go on a proper adventure across the USA, but soon, I shall. I did manage in my short 2-hour stint with the game to take some nice screenshots, and hopefully, I’ll get even more when I finally set off on my coast-to-coast adventure. Until then, for Screenshot Sunday #72, I give to you
