Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 vs Subnautica
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the latest installment of the real-time strategy game franchise, Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Despite the apparently intriguing storyline of a time travel gone awry and the brilliant live-action HD videos, the science fiction-themed narrative is somewhat weak in comparison to the previous titles. However, it's nice that this time around, you get to choose between one of three factions (Allies, Soviets, and the Empire of the Rising Sun, or the Empire for short) to play as rather than having only two. The campaigns are pretty fun as well and the game does have a rather nice co-command feature that links all the campaign missions together.Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a really nice take on the alternative world theme and the strategic gameplay is incredible as usual. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo before buying it on Steam.
Subnautica
Subnautica is a virtual reality game set in a gorgeous and open underwater world that may bring to mind epic explorative-styled adventure games like Abzu. However, interestingly, the underwater world you’ll be experiencing is not of the Earth. Instead, the game had you crash landed on an alien ocean world teeming with otherworldly life that may be friendly or hostile – you’ll just have to find out which on your own! The game even has a beautiful yet extremely dangerous “nightlife” that will require substantial preparation.Aside from being an explorative game, Subnautica will also see you scavenge, craft and survive in this alien world as well as to build your very own underwater habitat to be used as your base of operations while you go off on exciting adventures to learn more about the planet you are on.
Subnautica may still be in early access, but the game already feels like a complete game. The development team behind this game is also very active, providing its players with new updates and fixes frequently. When it comes to virtual reality games, Subnautica is definitely one of the few that is actually worth more than the price it asks for.
