Downward vs Dying Light
Downward
Downward is an indie, first-person open-world parkour adventure. In this game, the end of the world has come and gone, tipping the Earth’s equilibrium and leaving in its wake the ruins of civilizations. Being among the handful of humans left, you set off on a treacherous journey to seek out and collect mysterious artifacts that may finally explain why things are now the way they are. Use various parkour techniques as well as the anomalies that had appeared across the post-apocalyptic world to traverse tricky puzzle-like locations and to escape from creatures that have awakened to claim the world as their own.To sum up, Downward is an incredible feat of a game, especially for an indie team of 3 people. The game is not only both challenging and entertaining; it provides players with inventive new game mechanics to play with; mechanics that gave the game a depth never seen before in first-person parkour game. Of course, aside from the brilliant graphics and sound, there’s also the insatiable urge to collect everything there is to collect in this game as well as mini parkour challenges which offer players hours of replayability.
So, if this sounds like a game you’d enjoy, you’ll be happy to know that you can buy Downward (early access) now on Steam for a mere $9.99 or you can try the demo for free. Check the game out today!
Dying Light
Dying Light is rather highly-acclaimed, survival-themed, first person parkour RPG that's set in the zombie-infested city of Harran. Here, you'll need to rely on your ability to run, leap and quickly climb your way across buildings and other structures of all shapes and sizes to avoid getting swarmed by zombies... and we've got to say, the zombies in this game isn't the slow sort. If you fancy a challenge, try going out during the night instead. Your first encounter with a Volatile will get your heart pumping a lot faster than it should!The missions in this game, especially the story-linked ones, are varied enough to keep you engaged, though some of the side missions may be somewhat repetitive. Of course, being a survival-like game, you'll need to scavenge the city for supplies to craft new and incredibly useful weapons or to augment the ones you already have, as long as you've got the blueprints needed. You can change how you look as well.
Dying Light made the zombie apocalypse a whole lot more fun with plenty of cool and smooth parkour moves, which admittedly makes sense if the zombies aren't at all climbers. The game has won plenty of awards and nominations too. If you're a fan of parkour games, this is one adrenaline-rushing game that you won't want to miss!
