Gothic vs Limbo
Gothic
Gothic is one of the few rare dark fantasy games that is ruthless, cruel and challenging enough to truly put you in your place in life. You are not the hero; you are not a chosen one; you are just some miserable wrench who found himself in the penal colony in Myrtana, mining for ores day in and out with the rest of the wrenches in there. The colony is filled with tons of AI characters, including both guards and the prisoners, that you can interact and gradually work together with in order to secure some extra benefits or eventually find a way to break out. Oh, and expect to get beaten up a lot.All in all, Gothic is not your average rose-glass-tinted RPGs and surprisingly, there isn't a lot of this sort of games out there. However, our list of similar games should provide you with the best similar games that you'll ever find.
Limbo
Limbo is a platformer with some really hard (yet rewarding when solved) logic-based puzzles and a melancholic atmosphere mainly due to its shadowy world and graphics. In this game, you play as a boy who ventures into Limbo in hopes of finding his sister and learning her fate. However, like any adventure, you can definitely expect plenty of challenges and obstacles along the way.Limbo, like Inside, is a puzzle-platform game that can get increasingly very difficult and some of which may require a lot of trial and error to solve. So, if you're up for a brain-teasing challenge, you might enjoy this game.
