Blazing Core vs Past Cure
Blazing Core
Blazing Core is a tactical MMO third-person shooter where you get to team up with two or five other players to battle in an arena while playing as a cool-looking Mech Knight. The game is currently in beta but it already exudes its potential of becoming the next eSports game by offering an interesting combination of mechs, weapons, and abilities, a ranked competitive mode, as well as a decently designed map.Granted that the game doesn't really have a lot going for it at the moment, mainly because it's still in beta and the devs still have plenty to do to make it better, but Blazing Core does look like a MOBA that might just appeal to competitive players everywhere. The game is coming to open beta on Sept 7th so you can get a chance to try the game out yourself!
Past Cure
Past Cure is a story-driven thriller/adventure game where you play as a Syrian ex-army veteran, Ian, who was kidnapped and subjected to horrific, and very much illegal, scientific experiments. As a result, Ian has gained superhuman mental capabilities, including the ability to conjure astral projections and use mind bashes to destroy objects, in addition to his already intensive military training from being a soldier. However, all of this comes at a terrible cost - Ian's mind is destabilized and only the effects of an experimental yet powerful drug called Blue is able to help him keep his mental demons at bay.Although the game contains game mechanics like shooting, melee combat (boxing) and stealth, Past Cure is still primarily a story-oriented adventure game. Progression here is pretty linear, as most single narrative games are, and there aren't a lot of depth when it comes to its game features, with the sole exception of its intriguing storyline and several puzzle-like scenarios. The atmosphere generated in the game is astounding though! The music, especially during creepy scenes, makes your skin crawl, and the game features plenty of brilliantly edited cutscenes with some cool cinematographic effects.
So, despite the negative reviews on Steam, Past Cure is a really well-made interactive experience, story-wise. However, if you're expecting anything else, such as a hardcore stealth-based game, then you might feel like the game's a huge let-down. At least now you know what you can expect before you purchase the game!
