Antichamber vs Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Antichamber
Antichamber is the sort of game you'll want to play if you have a strong appreciation for MC Escher's mind-bending worlds and you have always imagine what it'd feel like to be in one of these worlds. Being an almost impossible puzzle game where hallways wrap around each other and spaces rearrange themselves, the game aims to push you out of your comfort zone and make you question how the game work (Hint: there is no permanent set of rules in this game and eveything you know can be changed). With your trusty gun in hand, you will need to create, destroy and manipulate the very matter itself to solve the puzzles you get and move on to the next stage.Antichamber is a puzzle game that's unlike any other. If you enjoy getting your mind blown wide open, this is the type of game you'll want to play... guaranteed!
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is supposed to be the Borderlands game that occurs in between Borderlands 1 and 2 as it details Handsome Jack's rise to power and wealth. The game features a pretty similar frantic gameplay to Borderlands 2 with a few major changes - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set in space and on a planet with low gravity and limited oxygen supply. These factors do bump up the difficult of the game by a notch and it is incredibly fun to enjoy the virtually-designed low gravity effect in first person.Like Borderlands 2, this game brings along with it a brand new cast of anti-heroes, each with their own set of special abilities. Interestingly, you get to play the annoyingly amusing (or is it "amusingly annoying"?) little robot - Claptrap - in this pre-sequel too! Of course, being space, you'll get a new line of vehicles to wreak havoc in.
If you're here for the story, then you'll won't find Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel disappointing, but when it comes to its gameplay, it does feel a bit lackluster at times. All in all though, the game bridges the story perfectly and is pretty much a must-buy for fans of the series, but if you're new to the series, it might be best to start with either Borderlands 1 or 2.
