Candy Crush Friends Saga vs Tomb Raider: Underworld
Candy Crush Friends Saga
Candy Crush Friends Saga is brand-new match-3 puzzle adventure from the Candy Crush franchise, developed by none other than King. This game attempt to move pass the franchise's usual match-3 gameplay by adding in fun new game modes, such as dunk the cookie in the chocolate and free the octopuses and the mammoths, as well as the fact that you can now call on your favorite characters, your "friends", in the game for help. The game rewards are also so much more attractive this time around because you get to collect more friends and their outfits. However, many players have pointed out that the game has a pretty obvious cash-grab scheme - the little piggy banks that you get for "free" can only be opened using 30 Gold Bars. It would have been nice if there's a free option to open such rewards, like a long waiting period, maybe?Overall, Candy Crush Friends Saga builds on the original games by providing its fans with exciting new game modes and friends whom you could call upon for help, while retaining the style that had made the franchise popular among gamers. It is definitely a step up!
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Tomb Raider: Underworld is a rather unique iteration of the age-old favorite action-adventure series featuring the fearless adventurer, Lara Croft. The game retained the franchise's love for intriguing puzzles and yet, it provided a ton of improvements in terms of adding in a dual-target system, non-linear puzzles (puzzles with multiple solutions), new abilities and tools, as well as a cool all-terrain hybrid motorbike.At the time of writing, Tomb Raider: Underworld would be celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, and as such, the game's graphics isn't exactly up to today's standards. The gameplay may feel rather clunky to some as well. However, if you really want to experience a more recent Tomb Raider that stayed true to the old puzzle-heavy format, this is the game to play.
