Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades vs Pillars of Eternity
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades is possibly the last in the game series and it only seemed right for it to return to its roots with lots of throwbacks to the original game that had made the franchise famous. Dark Souls 3 has a gameplay that many would say is quite similar to the first game thought the developers do attempt to spice it up with a Poise mechanism which frankly kinda fell short. The game also gave the dungeon crawling genre a nod by providing the most in-depth and impressive character customization system where you literally can design whichever build you like.Of course, there are still the usual stuff like fun quests, a compelling storyline and a well-made co-op mode. However, some players have given the developers some hell for the insane amount of latency they are experiencing in the game's multiplayer PvP.
Despite some of its flaws, Dark Souls 3 is still a great game to end a brilliant game series. Fans of the franchise should definitely get this game. Newcomers on the other hand should get the first two games before getting this one.
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity is a fun adventure/dungeon crawler-like game that sets you on a journey across a rich fantasy realm with your group of companions as you search for monster-filled dungeons to raid and get treasures from. Experience a gameplay that's similar to many of the classic RPGs you've known and loved. You'll even get to play as one of eleven classes ranging from the Cipher to the Rogue; and as one of six races including unique ones like Aumaua, Godlike and Orlan.The best part in this game is definitely the part where every action you make will have consequences and every faction you ally yourself to will affect the path of your overall narrative. This offers up plenty of possibilities for players to enjoy the game again and again.
Despite being an indie game, Pillars of Eternity has enjoyed success after success since its successful funding at Kickstarter and honestly, we think it deserves all the good things that are going its way. The game is simply a brilliant masterpiece that pays homage to classic RPGs and well, the dev team is amazing as well.
