Deus Ex: The Fall vs Vendetta Online
Deus Ex: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile spin-off (but now it's available on PC, Steam specifically) of the brilliant Deus Ex franchise. However, as you might have expect from a mobile game/port, Deus Ex: The Fall is incredibly basic with very limited controls. You'll still get to play the way you like whether to go into combat head-on or stealthily, but it's just not as exciting or impactful (as claimed).The background for the story in this game is somewhat all right I suppose. The game casts you into the role of Ben Saxon, a former British SAS-turned-mercenary with military-grade augments who is desperate to find out the truth behind the drug conspiracy involving the very drug that all augmented humans need to survive. However, many of the events that are supposed to push the story forward seems to fall short of doing exactly that, making these events rather meaningless. Unlike the non-spin-off games, the decisions you make in the game, however few they may be, doesn't feel important enough either. The game ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, hinting at a sequel that will probably never come.
Deus Ex: The Fall may be a rather decent for a relatively unknown mobile game, but for a franchise as huge as Deus Ex, this game just seems to disappoint everyone. It's not a free-to-play either so if you saved up to buy this game, you might want to continue to save a bit more to get the other Deus Ex games (not the second game though) instead.
Vendetta Online
Vendetta Online is a truly cross-platform space MMO where you'll get to pilot your very own spacecraft and set off to explore the vast galaxy. Despite looking rather old-school, the gameplay has a really nice feel to it especially when you're shooting down enemy ships due to its physics-based mechanics. You can also customize your own ship down to the very fine details.Vendetta Online may not be as great as EVE Online, but it has some really cool game content that will keep you engaged for hours... that is if you're into this type of games. Best yet, the game is available not only on PC, Mac and mobile, but also on VR devices, and you can interact with other players from these platforms in the same game world. That's something amazing, isn't it?
