Friday the 13th: The Game vs Past Cure
Friday the 13th: The Game
Friday the 13th: The Game is a truly terrifying third-person horror-survival game that is based on the popular horror movie, Friday the 13th. In this game, you get to play as the terror himself, Jason Voorhees, or even as one of the teen counselors. Naturally, depending on the role you play, your objective in the game would be very quite the polar opposite. Jason however has access to a range of unique abilities with will allow him to track, hunt and kill his prey, while what you'll have as a counselor is your group of six equally unlucky people.Friday the 13th: The Game not only lets you play as a survivor trying to escape from Jason, but it also lets you play as one of the most prolific killers in cinema history. If this sounds appealing to you, you will definitely want to grab the game and a couple of friends to play the game with.
Past Cure
Past Cure is a story-driven thriller/adventure game where you play as a Syrian ex-army veteran, Ian, who was kidnapped and subjected to horrific, and very much illegal, scientific experiments. As a result, Ian has gained superhuman mental capabilities, including the ability to conjure astral projections and use mind bashes to destroy objects, in addition to his already intensive military training from being a soldier. However, all of this comes at a terrible cost - Ian's mind is destabilized and only the effects of an experimental yet powerful drug called Blue is able to help him keep his mental demons at bay.Although the game contains game mechanics like shooting, melee combat (boxing) and stealth, Past Cure is still primarily a story-oriented adventure game. Progression here is pretty linear, as most single narrative games are, and there aren't a lot of depth when it comes to its game features, with the sole exception of its intriguing storyline and several puzzle-like scenarios. The atmosphere generated in the game is astounding though! The music, especially during creepy scenes, makes your skin crawl, and the game features plenty of brilliantly edited cutscenes with some cool cinematographic effects.
So, despite the negative reviews on Steam, Past Cure is a really well-made interactive experience, story-wise. However, if you're expecting anything else, such as a hardcore stealth-based game, then you might feel like the game's a huge let-down. At least now you know what you can expect before you purchase the game!
