Europa Universalis IV vs Trash Sailors
Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV is the fourth game in the award-winning Europa Universalis franchise. Similar to its predecessors, the game has everything you'd need to build your own nation from the ground up and guide it through the ages. The freedom in which you get to customize your giverning style, your nation and even your game is simply ridiculous (in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event. This time around you'll get to grow your nation over a much wider span of history, arrange royal marriages, form coalitions, support rebels in proxy wars and more. You can even cooperate with up to 32 different players to govern a single nation. The multiplayer mode apparently now has an improved chat and a new matchmaking system.Unfortunately, the major downside about this game is that the developers, Paradox Interactive, have apparently "sold-out" by adding in features that should have been in the original game into DLCs that players actually have to pay extra for, ending up spending over $200 for just a single game. Not to mention, many players have complained that the DLCs they release are priced at the same price point despite having progressively lower amount of content.
That said, the game is still an epic masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the Europa Universalis series, but the game's hardcore player base is admittedly not happy, and honestly, we wouldn't recommend getting this game unless you can get all of the DLCs dirt cheap... maybe like in a bundle.
Trash Sailors
Trash Sailors is a quirky co-op game that’s set in a world that’s flooded by a sea of trash. In this game, you can choose to go at it alone or with up to 3 friends as you sail through the dangerous trash-filled seas, fishing out trash to be used as scraps to fix your raft or as fuel to power the outboard engine. After all, mankind has been throwing rubbish into the ocean for ages and Mother Nature is out for revenge! You can even upgrade your raft by collecting bolts, and also unlock new characters as you play.In a nutshell, Trash Sailors may not be the next “Overcooked”, but it has some memorable art, an interesting setting and theme, as well as a fun and unique gameplay that can be enjoyed either alone or with friends – though, frankly speaking, the game is definitely miles better with friends.
