BioShock vs The Evil Within
BioShock
BioShock is one of the most highly acclaimed steampunk-themed shooters that has a very interesting twist - your very character's DNA can be modified through the use of a selection of plasmids and a special resource called ADAM, allowing you to have superhuman abilities which will serve you well, sometimes more so than the weapon you wield, in your adventure through the fallen underwater city of Rapture. Aside from the many violent mad men (a.k.a. Splicers), the game also provides players with challeging encounters with the iconic Big Daddies and Little Sisters.When it comes to non-military-styled shooters with an intensely immersive storyline, BioShock is among the handful of the "best of the best" (which includes the Fallout series, the Borderlands series, the Deus Ex series and others). The game boasts of having a rather dark storyline that actually challenges you to think about it in a more in-depth way; to link all the clues together to get the complete narrative that is surprisingly a lot more engaging that you'd expect.
2K Games has just released the remastered version of the very first Bioshock last year and if you can get it on Steam, you really should. The very unique experience it can offer you is very well worth the cost.
The Evil Within
The Evil Within is a dark horror game set in world full of deadly and deranged monsters, traps and horror. You are Sebastian Castellanos, a police officer sent to investigate a murder in a hospital. After hearing a high pitch noise you and your partner are sent into this strange place. From here you must survive and find your way home. As well as find the murderer and solve the crime along the way.And so begins a twisted journey full of fear, danger and a tense atmosphere. Praised for its ability to make you jump and the story within the game this is a really good, if somewhat dark tale. Using your stealth, battle and puzzle solving skills you need to return home, and discover what has happened in this twisted realm first.
