Dark Souls: Prepare to Die vs The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die is one of the scariest and hardcore action role-playing game that's set in a dark fantasy world filled with demons, monsters, and even dragons. Unlike most games where dying is heavily penalized, this game actually lets you use every one of your deaths as a stepping stone to learn the where to avoid and where to press on... so expect to die... a lot. Sometimes, the deaths of the other players - their spirits, so to speak - will also show up in your game so you can learn from their mistakes before you atttempt a challenging part of the game.By playing, you'll be able to improve your mastery over weapons, spells, and other combat mechanics which will in turn help you progress and access tougher challenges. This Prepare to Die edition also features new mechanics, including Bonfires which serve as check points and will replenish your health and magic but at a pretty heavy cost - all the mobs you've killed will respawn. Dark Souls is a networked game and as such, you may bump into other players while dungeon crawling which may result in an impromptu PvP battle, or you can also work together with other players to take down difficult bosses.
Dark Souls have earned a name of itself for being incredibly punishing - there will be a lot of dying - and for being creepy as af, but it is also a game that's pretty unique, and to some extent, revolutionary since many of the game mechanics present in this game isn't even heard of let alone used in any other games.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is not the sequel to the popular indie Rogue-like game, The Binding of Isaac. Instead, this Rebirth version is simply a remake of the game featuring enhanced graphics, a better game engine, a more polished artwork as well as cleaner visual effects. The gameplay is still basically the game, with the same depressing storyline and the same crazy level of replayability. However, this time around, the game offers players the possibly of playing co-op (2 players) in addition to better support for controllers (mainly because the game is, unlike the previous, available on Xbox and Playstation), a bunch of achievements, and a long list of unique characters for its co-op mode.If you've loved The Binding of Isaac, you might want to grab The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth just for the co-op mode and the overall better gaming experience.
