Griefhelm vs Plants vs Zombies 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)!
Plants vs Zombies 2
Plants vs Zombies 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the world's most popular tower defense games, Plants vs Zombies. Available on mobile devices only, the game one-ups the original by adding in a crazy ton of variety not only in terms of the different themed settings (including all the popular ones, like Ancient Egypt and pirate ship) for each level but also in terms of the many never-seen-before zombies, including zombie chickens, which you will now have to defend yourself from. Amazingly, more themes/worlds and levels are frequently added with every major update!Not to mention, Crazy Dave also makes a cameo at the beginning of the game. In fact, it is because of him and his dratted time machine that has caused all of these world-hopping issues.
Plants vs Zombies 2 is without a doubt a great sequel mainly because it improves and diversifies the original in so many ways... so much so that fans of the classic might even be a bit put off by how much more intricate the game has become. Thankfully, the game still retains its humor and has kept everything in the game light-hearted and fun despite the gruelling business of zombie-shooting.
