Bastion vs Dragon Age: Origins
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.
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins is the first game in one of the most highly-acclaimed game series, Dragon Age. The game seems to combine all the great elements of a traditional RPG with an epic storyline set in a gorgeous open world that will truly put your morality and decision-making skills to the test. In some way, the game does bring to mind the immersiveness of the Fable series as you'll be able to actually mold your character's personality and morality based on every single decision you make. The host of characters in this game is pretty amazing as well. Their personalities are very well-crafted and this makes them relatable, and hence, realistic.That's not all, the game features an exciting and engaging combat system that will see you fighting enemies of all shapes and sizes... and of course, dragons. Being one of the last Grey Wardens, you also possess incredible magical powers and skills that further augments the game's melee combat. Due to the game's 3-person party-based system, the game's combat system even has a special "paused" function where you can issue individual orders to your allies for a more coordinated but equally fast-paced action combat.
Dragon Age: Origins is the sort of game that can hold its own even after years since its release. In fact, we dare say this game might already made it into the list of modern classics. If you love a rich story and a fun action RPG, this is definitely the game to buy.
