2 Dots vs Journey
2 Dots
2 Dots is a really innovative yet simplistic puzzle game where you'll join two brave dots as they travel across various beautiful landscapes in search of and adventure.The gameplay is incredibly easy to get into since all you need to do is to connect one dot to another as long as they are of the same color. By connecting dots, you can sink anchors, create a line or a bomb, fight fire and do a variety of actions to progress through the next level. You can even challenge your family and friends via Facebook and try to beat each other's high scores.Two Dots is a puzzle game that share some similarities with Connect-styled games and yet offers something completely different to simply spice things up. So, if you're a fan of minimalistic puzzle-adventures, this is one game you won't want to miss out!
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
