Aground vs WolfQuest
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.
WolfQuest
WolfQuest is a rather unique simulation game where you actually play as a two-year-old gray wolf born in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park - an age where it's time for you to go off on your own. You'll need to learn to hunt for food, find a suitable mate, set-up a comfy den and build a family. The game lets you play in single-player mode where you can learn how to be a virtual wolf yourself or multiplayer where you can do everything in a pack with your friends (private server) or with strangers (public server).The game WolfQuest has a sort of charm to it, because firstly, it is so different from any other animal simulation game you might have played before as it feels a lot more realistic; and secondly, you actually feel related; linked to the wolf you play as and want to help him to set-up a home and family of his own. It's not the sort of game to be rushed through - it is the sort of game that you'll need to slowly savor.
So, if that is your thing, then you might like playing WolfQuest. Even if you think it's not, try the free demo anyway. The game might just surprise you!
