Age of Conan: Unchained vs Blockland
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Blockland
Blockland may be a voxel-based sandbox game in name, same as games like Minecraft, Roblox and others, but in reality, the game is a whole lot more unique due to its Lego-like features. In fact, due to its looks, many have likened the game to the unfortunately shuttered Lego Minifigures Online. Playable in single player or multiplayer, the game allows its players to unleash their creativity by creating literally anything they can think of. The game also has tons of different blocks, textures and assets (pre-made stuff) to cater to their creative needs, allowing players to come up with the most exciting mini-games and mazes as well as beautiful locations for themselves and their friends to hang out at. Players can even drive cars (sometimes vertically up the wall of a building, breaking all rules of perceived gravity in the game), ride bikes, pilot planes, and more.Although the game is no longer getting updates and apparently its community has been dwindling, Blockland is still an amazing game that answers the question of what Minecraft would look like if its "Lego-fied". A blank canvas await you in Blockland! Do check it out - you can try the demo for free - when you can!
