Half Life 2: Episode One vs Watch Dogs 2
Half Life 2: Episode One
Half Life 2: Episode One is the first standalone game in Valve's spin-off trilogy for its game series, Half Life. Featuring a gameplay that closely resembles Half Life 2, its namesake, this game provides loyal fans of the game a nice continuation (somewhat) in the series' storyline. Similar to Half Life 2, this game has a lot more scripted scenes as well as puzzles and strategic combat rather than simply adding in more aliens for you to fight and weapons for you to fight with.Despite its rather short game duration, Half Life 2: Episode One gives its hardcore fans something to chew on as they wait - endlessly - for a Half Life 3. And naturally, being released in 2006, the game has a more polished look. To be honest, it's a great alternative game to Half Life 2.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 puts you into the shoes of another brilliant young hacker by the name of Marcus Holloway. This time though, you'll need to join forces with DedSec, a notorious and anonymous group of hackers, to carry out the largest hack of the century to shut down ctOS 2.0, an operating system that has been hijacked by criminal masterminds to stalk and manipulate people on a global scale. Featuring a similarly massive open world set in the San Francisco Bay Area for you to explore, you'll need to use whatever hacking tools you have at your disposal to ensure the success of your missions. The game also offers multiplayer modes where you can play with your friends or against them.However, the best part about this game is the unique eye-tracking feature, allowing you to rapidly target enemies and interact with your surroundings. Granted that not all (well, most) PCs or laptops can run this feature, but for those who can, this little yet significant feature can be incredibly game experience-changing!
Watch Dogs 2 truly pushes the boundaries of what a game can do simply with its eye-tracking feature. Not to mention, if you've been a bit disappointed in the first game, you'll find that this game has improved on almost every aspect possible, especially its diverse characters and deep and meaningful missions. You'll be happy with your purchase for sure!
