Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series vs Journey
Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series
Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series is the Telltale version of the incredibly popular and highly acclaimed TV and novel series of the same name, Game of Thrones. This story lets you take the role of different members of House Forrester, a noble family loyal to the Starks of Winterfell, as they are thrown into the bloody and brutal War of the Five Kings. Filled with warfare, vegeance, political intrigue, and gore, the Forresters will have to fight to survive in these uncertain times, and whether or not they will make it all boils down to the choices you make.Telltale Games have never disappointed their fans with any of their intense, story-driven episodic games so far and they are not about to start now with Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series, which already has quite the compelling storyline of its own. So, if you're a fan of Telltale, Game of Thrones or simply story-driven games, this is the sort of game you'll want to buy.
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
