Bloodborne vs The Shrouded Isle
Bloodborne
Bloodborne is a gothic-themed horror action RPG that will send you on a journey to the ancient city of Yharnam that is plagued with a weird infection that not only turns its infectees mad but also twists their form into nightmarish beings. Equipped with an arsenal of melee and ranged weapons, you'll need to use your wits, quick reflexes and strategic thinking to take down these challenging enemies in search of answers that, frankly speaking, you might not even want to ever know.The game also has a rather separate part called the Chalice Dungeons which functions like a dungeon crawler where you can go through a massive, randomly-generated network of underground dungeons that are filled with monsters (common ones and bosses), traps, and of course, the items you seek - valuable items. Many players did not like this aspect of the game though, mainly because the dungeons are incredibly repetitive which encourages brainless farming rather than giving players another form of adventure, and well, the bosses that you slay aren't at all unique and thus, killing them doesn't feel at all impactful.
That said, Bloodborne is still a really amazing game to play. The dark and eerie theme might not suit everone's tastes, but the gameplay is just perfect. Thankfully, the weaker parts of the game (hint: the dungeons) are pretty much avoidable unless you plan on going for the highest difficulty in the game, which in this case, you'll need to farm the dungeons for the items you need.
The Shrouded Isle
The Shrouded Isle is a very unique simulation game with a dark Lovecraftian-theme, where you assume the role of the High Priest of a cult and do your best to make sure that your fellow cultists stay true to the commandments of the Dark Lord until judgment day. Discover the sinners hidden among the loyal through any means necessary, so you can sacrifice them at the altar to purge your cult of these sinners and appease the ravenous appetite of the Dark Lord.The Shrouded Isle is not just a one-of-a-kind simulation game that lets you become the cult leader of a dark cult filled with seemingly psychotic people; it is also a game that will definitely make you question your morality, and perhaps after hours of burning books, encouraging self-flagellation, executing heretics and sacrificing sinners, your state of mind... especially if you find yourself enjoying the game. The game is as strategic as it is challenging, but at the end of the day, it is just fun to be able to mess with the people in your cult and experience a game as uniquely different as The Shrouded Isle. So, head on over to The Shrouded Isle today to do the Dark Lord’s bidding and reap the rewards once judgment day comes around!
