Dungeon Siege vs Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is an Indiana Jones-like action-adventure game where you play as Nathan Drake, a modern-day fortune hunter who had obtained a clue in the coffin of his ancestor in regard to fabled treasure of El Dorado. However, the search turned deadly when he and his team find themselves stranded on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean while being hunted by well-equipped and trained mercenaries. In this game, you'll need to not only engage your enemies in exciting, cooperative gunfights using the environment for cover or even close-quarter combat; you'll also need to decipher the maps and ancient artifacts that you find, hoping to reveal the secrets that the island has hidden for over 400 years old.This is the game that has propelled the franchise to fame due to its incredibly immersive storyline and setting and also the smooth and frankly awesome gameplay. If you own a Playstation, this is definitely a game series you'll want to get.
