God of War vs Infinity Blade II
God of War
God of War is a Playstation-exclusive game that casts you into the shoes of Kratos once again. However, this time, after taking his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus, he was given a second chance at fatherhood and that can be quite a tall task especially when the world has gradually become even harsher and unforgiving. With his son Atreus by his side, Kratos will need to teach the young boy all that he will need to know to survive while controlling the rage that had the better of him more times than he could count in the past. Like the previous, this game has a massive and gorgeous open world for you to explore and a thrillingly-visceral close-quarter combat system to do battle with. It features a ton of familiar and new Nordic creatures, some of which are mythical and legendary; and a rewarding progression system which will see the skills of both Kratos and Atreus increase noticeably over time.God of War ensures its players a gritty and grueling, yet somewhat heartwarming gaming experience where you'll get to not only mentor a young boy in the intricate art of war, but also to help Kratos rediscover his fatherly side through the game's powerful storyline. This PS4 game is slated to be released early 2018.
Infinity Blade II
Infinity Blade II continues the storyline from the previous game by letting you reprise your role as the hero-savior, Siris. Being curiosity-driven, you’ll need to travel across the realm of the Deathless Saydhi to find clues as to unlock the mystery behind the Infinity Blade you now wield. Of course, being Infinity Blade, there will always be tyrants and Titans for you to slay via the game’s excellent action-based combat (now in three new styles) as well as a plethora of weapons to slay them with.The game has also improved on the game’s hallmark character customization, providing you with the option to now forge even more powerful items and infuse them with elemental powers and capabilities. Interestingly, the game has an optional ClashMob app where players can recruit friends to their respective mobs and participate in fun and massively social global challenges to reap amazing rewards.
Infinity Blade II definitely builds on the success of its predecessor and it has managed to do so successfully. A worthy sequel to add to your game library, I’d say!
