Grand Theft Auto (GTA) vs Griefhelm
Grand Theft Auto (GTA)
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is considered to be a real classic of a game, with one of the first open worlds to play in and a huge range of choices for you. Though different from the more modern versions, it still has its own charm and the core of all of the GTA series lies in this very first iteration.In this game you are a neutral character in a town full of gangs, there are 3 factions and you can work for all or none of them. Each time you work for 1, you lose rep with the others and will have to work it back. Other than that the world is free for you to explore, one of the most fun things is finding the hidden plane, or even the tank. Drive around town, find weapons and rides while you make huge sums of money in a fun game.

Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
