Griefhelm vs Kingdom Hearts 2
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)!
Kingdom Hearts 2
Kingdom Hearts 2 is a pretty old game but it is still very well-received sequel to the original Kingdom Hearts game. In this game, you play as Sora as he, Donald and Goofy continued their quest, starting from the small and quiet Twilight Town which straddles between night and day. Aside from the usual Disney worlds, you'll be treated to brand-new ones such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan. The game even boasts of having a much advanced and flexible combat system, allowing for powerful new combos and cooperative attacks. Not to mention, Sora now has a new "Drive" command that can change him into an array of new forms, modifying his skills and abilities as he morphs. Travel from world to world in style through the game's brilliant theme park-styled rides too!Kingdom Hearts 2 is an amazing game in its own right, and despite its age, the game still stands really well on its own until today.
