Dishonored 2 vs Don't Die, Minerva!
Dishonored 2
Dishonored 2 lets you reprise your role as THE supernatural assassin but this time around, the game brings you to the once-amazing coastal city of Karnaca, where an otherworldly being has usurped Empress Emily Kaldwin's throne, throwing the fate of the Isles off-balance. The gameplay in Dishonored 2 has been greatly improved with the new Mark of the Outsider and a whole myriad of new powers along with a much advanced bonecharm crafting and upgrade trees, weapons and gadgets as well. Similar to the previous game, your actions during a mission will change the world around you and often results in different outcomes.Dishonored 2 was unfortunately plagued with performance issues during its release, and hence, the game has been overlooked by many. However, if you can forgive the downsides which are pretty much rectified over time with patches, the game is definitely a step-up from the original and is worth every cent you spent in buying it.
Don't Die, Minerva!
Don't Die, Minerva! is a Halloween-themed, arcade shooter-like, rogue-lite where you play as 11-year-old Minerva who was trapped in a haunted mansion and is desperate to find a way out. Kite enemies around, dodge colorful projectiles, and deploy your trusty stuffed animal-slash-turret whenever possible just so you can make it to the next elevator in one piece!The game looks and feels like a roguelite that’s aimed towards midcore/casual gamers as well as children who enjoy challenging games, due to its easy-to-grasp gameplay and also its child-friendly visuals (no blood or gore). The protagonist herself is also a child, so there’s that. However, the game doesn’t seem to offer much once you’ve grinded and unlocked all your skills, and because of this, its full price is definitely a bit on the higher end.
Still, if you love playing rogue-lites and would like to buy a game that both you and your child can enjoy, Don’t Die, Minerva is a really great choice. It’s just that you might want to wait for a discount before you buy the game.
