Best Fiends vs Journey
Best Fiends
Best Fiends is an incredibly addictive match-3 puzzle game that has taken the world by surprise. Despite having a theme focusing on the creepy crawlies, the game managed to appeal to millions of players worldwide with its adorable bug characters, the slimy slug enemies, and the charming yet bug-dominated world of Minutia. The gameplay in Best Fiends is quite unique as well since it features what is now known as a combat match-3 mechanism. Basically though, this means you'll match 3 or more colored items to allow the bug of the corresponding color in your team to attack the enemy. You can even upgrade your bug army using meteormites you've collected.Sounds like a whole lot of fun? Well, considering its popularity, many players would probably agree with you. So, if you haven't experienced this breakout casual game yet, you definitely should. We can't recommend this game enough!
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
