Aground vs Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Aground
Aground is a 2D, side-scrolling, survival-themed adventure game where you'll be digging out the bowels of the earth for precious ores to turn into tools, weapons, and armor or to sell to gain coins. Similar to games like Kingdom: Classic or its sequel, Kingdom: New Lands, the game will have you venture out to explore new islands to discover more about the story behind the land, to meet new characters and to obtain better resources to craft superior items.The storyline in this game is pretty intriguing as well. It features a Bermuda Triangle-like area where people often get shipwrecked and are washed up to one of the shores of the small archipelago. The islands are filled with weird creatures and is rich with minerals and resources. As survivors starting from scratch, they do not have access to the technologies they used to enjoy that is until apparently a mysterious tribe, called the Mirrows, helped to set stuff up.
Aground offers players the sort of freedom that Minecraft is able to provide and yet, is not fully a sandbox game nor does it have a procedurally generated map. Of course, this game has a great storyline, along with quests to help drive those plot points forward, and that alone makes it a really fun game to play.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a first-person survival horror game that is guaranteed to chill you to your bones. Play as the amnesiac, Daniel, who finds himself in a creepy castle with a haunting cry constantly ringing out in the background... the thing is the cry is getting ever closer and even you don't know that it is, you have no intention of meeting the creature behind the sound. Like the living nightmare that Daniel - and by extent you - is unfortunately experiencing, the game completely immerses you into a world where unseen horrors lurk in the darkness and only by hanging to your wits will you survive the encounter. It's not a "cheap thrills"-type of game, that's for sure!There is no contest when it comes to the creepiest game ever made - Amnesia: The Dark Descent wins hands-down. In some way, it's a great game to test your resolve in but be warned, there is no shame in walking away from this game if the going gets too horrifying for you. You won't be the only one to do so!
