Downward vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
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!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the first of a hugely popular post-apocalyptic-themed, first-person, survival-horror shooter which might have just amassed a cult following. Set in 2012, almost two decades after the worst nuclear disaster occured at the Chernobyl power station and around 6 years after a second explosion rocked the damaged reactor, causing various anomalies to ripple open and from them came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and also rare artifacts that are somehow imbued with powerful anomalous energy... artifacts that many would kill to have.Since then, the existence of such artifacts have brought forth groups of "stalkers", scavengers who scour the cordoned areas around Chernobyl for these very objects... and in this game, you play as one of them.
The game has risen to acclamation partly due to the terrifying, nightmarish creatures that the game contains, in addition to the brilliantly immersive storyline and an incredibly realistic game environemnt that's modelled after its real-world counterpart deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The gameplay is excellent as well. The game has accurate ballstics and combat mechanics, as well as a challenging survival aspect that is further made difficult due to the impact day and night, and the weather system has on the environment. There is also a multiplayer mode that can support up to 32 players.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and as such, many aspects of the game aren't really up to scratch by today's standards at least. If you do plan on getting this game, you might want to download some mods to help improve the game somewhat.
