Dear Esther vs Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Dear Esther
Dear Esther is one of the few rare games that managed to evoke strong powerful emotions simply with beautiful visuals, euphonious instrumentals, and an immersive and narrated story filled with love, loss, guilt and redemption. Previously a cult mod, the game sends you on a journey of exploration and self-reflection as you explore a remote and uninhabited island in the outskirts of Hebrides where apparently a mysterious Esther has summoned you here.The best part about all of this though is that the game is, unlike most heavily story-driven games, very replayable. Every play-through will give you a new experience as the audio, visuals and even the events that happen are all randomly generated. So, if you enjoy story rich games, Dear Esther is a game that will unequivocally captivate you.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the latest iteration of one of the most highly-acclaimed survival-horror game series, Resident Evil, and boy, did the devs overdo themselves this time around! The graphics are incredibly photorealistic... sometimes hauntingly so, making every terrifying thing you see scarier than before. Couple that with creepy tunes that always seem to stalk you around and the super-immersive first person view and you'll get an incredibly intense and atmospheric game that can make anyone jumpy. However, the best part in this game is its storyline. Unlike the cliche narrative that are prevalent in previous installments of the series, the story will keep you guessing until the very end.If you're up for a scare, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is definitely a game you'll want in your game library. The intense gameplay is not only the "at the edge of your seat"-type terrifying; it is surprisingly well-packaged with an intriguing storyline and combat scenes (albeit short ones) that allow you to kill enemies. This game definitely did its franchise and the genre proud. If you're still unsure though, you can now experience the game for free via its demo. The game is also available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
