Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Darksiders II
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
Darksiders II
Darksiders II follows in the footsteps of the original game in many ways, particularly the in-depth character progression system and an extensive skill tree, but this time around, you'll be playing as Death, the most formidable of all the four legendary Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Set off across a massive open world in order to redeem your brother's name, you'll stumble upon an ancient grudge that may decimate all of creation. Unlike War, Death is a lot more agile, allowing you to perform some impressive acrobatic acts which may unlock previously unaccessible paths.Despite the improved replayability, Darksiders II is simply that sort of game that you'll probably not return to often but is great enough to leave a distinct feeling and memory with you for life. And well, you get to play as Death himself... what's not awesome about that?
