Need for Speed Payback - A Screenshot Showcase

Cruising on the Highway

Blasting Pursuers Away

A Blood Red Beauty at Night

Inside a Sieve of Shadows

Immediately after buying a Lamborghini Huracan. Got so excited I even forgot to hide the UI.

Depths of the Canyon Await!

Might as well burn bridges with speed

The prized Koenigsegg Regera. Payback lets the player drive it once in a heist mission before locking it away until the end.

Outta my way!

A serene space in an otherwise noisy city

The Beast stirs up some dirt in its wake

There's light at the end of the tunnel, just go straight ahead

The Huracan takes a tumble

Drifting past the casino

Another great capture ruined by my excitement

Way to crash a Lambo!

Where's the fire?

Thrusters fired with full capacity

An empty road and some sun - perfect day to race

Road signs matter little to rebellious racers

Killer decals right there

Royal blue for a royal ride

Waiting for the crane...

Another cop car ready for the junkyard

I see you on my tail

Flying around in the construction yard

Doesn't get any more pompous than a gold-plated Lambo

Nocturnal showdown and a sparkling getaway

It's all about to become a blur...

Must have been an electrifying pursuit

Didn't know the Roadster featured in NFS Payback; that's quite the lift-off!

Harry Potter Crafts #1: Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage (Hogwarts Potionbook)

While my mates and colleagues are all doing something or the other to help them get a job three years from now (or even before that, depending on the person concerned) (FYI, I'm in the first year of my Bachelor's programme as I write this post), I have been whiling my time away doing unproductive work (which effectively means that I'm doing nothing). They are building their skill sets so their resume gets laden with attractive features while I am still figuring out how to make a resume. So, these holidays, the least I could do was to complete my unfinished works if I was not going to start anything new. One of these works was a handwritten manuscript of Hogwarts potion-book "Advanced Potion Making" which Harry and friends use in their sixth year of schooling. I was always fascinated with the potions depicted in the books and movies and as a child, I used to pray for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to be real. Of course, I eventually realised that...

My Thoughts on Raji: An Ancient Epic [PC Version]

Raji: An Ancient Epic. Though the game has ‘Epic’ in the title, and I bought it off the 'Epic' Games store, it’s not that epic in terms of length. I finished it in 6 hours, and I did die a bunch of times in the meanwhile. Perhaps they just wanted to appease the guys behind the game engine that Raji was developed in. just a wild guess. BUT…! Raji is Beautiful. Period. I can’t say this enough. Being beautiful is this game’s selling point. Every single area of every single level is crafted with love, packed with care, and gifted to the player with a grateful smile. Raji almost shows its environments off, and quite rightfully so. It knows it’s beautiful and is proud of it. It flaunts its visual splendour and manages to divert all attention from the more ordinary elements. Now I admit here, being an Indian perhaps allowed me to connect with the game better, since it borrows heavily from Hindu mythology, and therefore had more of an impact on me. But then, there have been other...

My Thoughts on the PC games Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2 (a comparison)

[Originally written on 22nd Sep 2019] I just finished playing HP Deathly Hallows Part 2, having completed the part 1 yesterday. When I started Part 1, I was straightaway disappointed because the game threw a few missions at me that felt less related to the story and more like they were included just to make it lengthier. Then there was repetition – a fair amount of it. For instance, Harry had to rescue a bunch of muggle-borns from the snatchers. This involved fighting the enemy and liberating the muggle-borns from the evil enchantments. The same theme is repeated in various locations, giving the developers some sort of reprieve whilst increasing the game length. They succeeded, although sacrificing the game’s excitement. It started off quite well, though, with Bill and Fleur’s wedding, Shaftesbury Avenue and then to Grimmauld Place. Up until then it was fairly enjoyable, but as I progressed, I began facing issues. To begin with there were these side missions to be com...
