Far Cry 4 vs Mafia II
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 casts you into the role of Ajay Ghale, a person who travelled to the remote mountainous region of Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish only to find himself trapped in a civil war between the rebels and the dictator that ruled the region with an iron fist, Pagan Min. Featuring the same epic open world and the freedom to literally do whatever you like, Far Cry 4 has a whole lot more deadly beings aside from humans with guns; the place is teeming with a wide variety of dangerous wildlife that will put your hunting skills to the test. The game also provides you with a whole new set of weapons and vehicles, including the ability to ride an elephant into battle. Far Cry 4 even has a co-op aspect where you can grab a friend to explore the beautiful region and kill Pagan's people along with you.However, the game only has an automatic save (and no checkpoint saves) that severely limits the supposedly sandbox aspect of the game and well, the game has unskippable cutscenes, which frankly can get rather annoying in your second playthrough. Despite its downsides though, Far Cry 4 feels a lot more realistic than most open world games mainly because of the abundant of wildlife that is supposed to be present in a remote region like Kyrat. If you've enjoyed most of the Far Cry games so far, you'll definitely love this one.
Mafia II
Mafia II is a mafia-themed action-shooter game that puts you in the shoes of Vito Scaletta, an up-and-coming mobster who, with his loyal buddy Joe, has made a name for himself among higher-ups in the mafia and is steadily rising up the ranks. However, not everyone is happy with his (your) ascension and they aim to put a permanent end to it. Set in Empire Bay during World War II, the game also has plenty of atmospheric nuances that will basically teleport you back into the past - to the golden era of the mafia and mobsters. Not to mention, the game has some of the most intense gunplay, car chases and hand-to-hand combat that complement the whole mafia drama that Mafia II has going on. There are plenty of weapons, vehicles, clothes and characters that you can interact with as well.If you enjoy old-school mafia-themed games, Mafia II is a game you won't want to miss. The game follows the same formula that had made the Mafia franchise such a hit and yet it has provided a ton of exciting new features and improvements that will give you a much better gaming experience.
