Bastion vs Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Bastion
Bastion is a very unique action RPG that is so different from any other RPGs you might have played before mainly because the game provides you with your very own personal narrator who will reactively narrate your every move and action, resulting in a deeper and much more personal story to be crafted as you progress in your adventure. The brilliant hand-painted graphics and the melodious soundtrack in this game is astounding too, allowing you to be fully immersed in the bright and cheery-looking world despite being shattered into pieces by an almost apocalyptic event called the Calamity.The gameplay in Bastion is most definitely not the hack-and-slash sort. Instead, the game rewards you for approaching your battles with finesse rather than recklessness. To make your character stronger and able to take on tougher enemies, there are plenty of weapons you can loot and upgrade as well. Best yet, you can even discover up to 6 different Bastion structures and that the game has plenty of varied game modes for you to enjoy.
Bastion is an RPG very unlike any other we, and possibly you, have ever experienced before. The game has a really fascinating way of approaching its storytelling aspect and that alone is enough to make the game a must-buy for many players. But if the storyline isn't something you emphasize on, then you might want to grab the game for its gameplay instead.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the highly anticipated sequel in the Deus Ex franchise. The game is very similar to its predecessors in many ways - you still get to make important, story-changing decisions, meet some interesting characters, have fun with a wide range of augments, and enjoy an amazing stealth-based gameplay. That said, it does have some unique aspects like overloading your augs, though personally, I don't bother to use it; and also the revamped hacking system. I also like the game's loading screen when you're supposedly travelling from one location to another. It's a very nice touch.However, many fans are rather disappointed with the story and side missions in this game. Some are pretty good and well-fleshed out admittedly, but many of them seem to not have any effect on the game or the storyline itself... like mere fillers. Most of the characters that you meet in this game is a lot less important than before as well.
Apparently, the game was also cut down to meet the launch deadline, and this makes the game feel incomplete to some extent. Although this game seems to fall short for many fans of the game, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is still a pretty good sequel especially for players who are in for the action and well, part of the storyline. For the other part, you'll just have to wait for its DLCs.
