Flappy Bird vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird is one of the most infamous hypercasual games out there. In this game, you need to help the flappy bird make its way through the sky that, for some reason, is covered in green pipes that resemble the ones in the iconic arcade-platformer, Mario.The game was designed to be insanely-easy to pick up - after all, you only need to tap or click to keep the bird afloat. However, playing the game can literally drive you insane with frustration because of how difficult it is. Needless to say, you'll see the "game over" screen a lot more than you'd like to within the couple of minutes you spent in the game... and that's a fact.
Flappy Bird, along with multiple of popular mobile games, helped paved the way for an entirely new genre of games to emerge. The game is definitely more than the hundreds of memes it gave rise to.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
