Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Resogun
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is supposed to be the Borderlands game that occurs in between Borderlands 1 and 2 as it details Handsome Jack's rise to power and wealth. The game features a pretty similar frantic gameplay to Borderlands 2 with a few major changes - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set in space and on a planet with low gravity and limited oxygen supply. These factors do bump up the difficult of the game by a notch and it is incredibly fun to enjoy the virtually-designed low gravity effect in first person.Like Borderlands 2, this game brings along with it a brand new cast of anti-heroes, each with their own set of special abilities. Interestingly, you get to play the annoyingly amusing (or is it "amusingly annoying"?) little robot - Claptrap - in this pre-sequel too! Of course, being space, you'll get a new line of vehicles to wreak havoc in.
If you're here for the story, then you'll won't find Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel disappointing, but when it comes to its gameplay, it does feel a bit lackluster at times. All in all though, the game bridges the story perfectly and is pretty much a must-buy for fans of the series, but if you're new to the series, it might be best to start with either Borderlands 1 or 2.
Resogun
Resogun is a brilliant side-scrolling (in a spherical sense) arcade-shooter for the PlayStation platform. Being a shoot-'em-up, you can definitely expect a bullet-hell gameplay where you'll need to take on wave after wave of relentless enemies. The arsenal of weapons at your disposal is quite diverse as well, giving you access to cool lasers and even destructive nova-bombs that can level hordes of enemies at one go. The game also has a really nice sci-fi theme, brilliant graphics, and of course, superb sound.The best and most unique aspect of this game though is that each item, be it a enemy fighter, boss or simply an object, in the game is built using voxels and hence, you can satisfyingly blast your enemies into millions of bits and pieces. You can even take on challenging bosses cooperatively with friends in this game or test your mettle in the game's endless Survival mode, Demolition mode, Arcade mode and also the level-based Score Attack mode.
Resogun is among the best arcade-shooters that you can play on PlayStation 3 and 4 as well as PSVita, and if this sort of game is kind of your thing, you'll definitely not regret getting this game.
