Cytus II vs Neo Cab
Cytus II
Cytus II is the sequel to the highly popular action-rhythm game, Cytus, but it's the fourth music game title from the developer, Rayark Games. Set once again in a futuristic, sci-fi society where a mega virtual world exists in the internet space known as Cytus, a mysterious DJ legend called Æsir emerged. His music sold like hot cakes and people fell madly in love with his work. Like Daft Punk (at least while they are performing), no one has ever seen this DJ's actual face, but one day, he suddenly announced a concert where he purportedly will be showing up in person (digital-wise since it's in Cytus). What will go down at this event? Well, no spoilers - Go play the game and you can eventually piece together the story to find out the ending yourself!That said, the game features the same intuitive gameplay but this time around, the game uses a unique "Active Judgement Line" system that makes the actual scan line to move rather than having the notes move. You'll only tap on the notes when the line reaches them, preferably when it's right in the middle. The game also contains a ton of high-quality music (over 50 of them, in fact) featuring composers from all around the world. The genres of the music vary widely as well, from electronic to rock.
Cytus II is an amazing addition to the Cytus series and is a must-play for fans of the original, but even if you have not played Cytus before, you can still appreciate the brilliance in combining immersive storytelling, excellent music, and an intense tapping-based gameplay.
Neo Cab
Neo Cab is an in-depth interactive story where you play as Lina, one of the very last few human driver-for-hire at Neo Cab in a futuristic yet dystopian world where everything, including taxi services, is getting increasingly automated. Converse with your passengers and maybe they’d reveal their secrets. If you’re lucky, you may even uncover important clues that will lead you to your missing friend, Savy.Neo Cab is a fascinating and thought-provoking interactive story that places a lot of emphasis on the value of cab conversations and the way mood can affect what we say. It also makes you really think about the consequences of certain advancements in technology and how massive corporations that are large enough to circumvent any oversight placed on them, can monopolize all aspects of our lives. Of course, there’s even an overarching story where you’re trying to find your missing friend who disappeared under some pretty worrying and mysterious circumstances.
So, if you’re into games that have amazing storytelling and where your choices will affect your relationship with the many quirky characters in the game, then Neo Cab is definitely a game that’s right up your alley. Trust me, it’s worth the price!
