Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery vs The Walking Dead: Michonne
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is a story-driven, “choose your own adventure”-like, adventure-RPG where you get to attend the renowned School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Featuring a whole new storyline but with many familiar characters, you'll get to learn how to cast spells and brew potions, make new friends (and rivals) along the way, and get drawn to the many mysteries that the ancient school hides within its depths. The game even backs up your own adventures with an intriguing story about your missing brother who apparently was expelled as he had broken school rules when he was searching for the fabled Cursed Vaults.The gameplay is pretty casual and straightforward for the most part - as long as you have enough energy points, you can complete actions, tasks, and subsequently quests. However, it's unfortunate that the game doesn't use a more reflex-based gameplay during intense scenes that obviously call for more rapid actions. This is the only thing that truly breaks the immersion of the game.
Nevertheless, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is still a very well-made game and it is worth playing for the visuals, the experience of being an "actual" Hogwarts student, and the mystery-infused storyline. The game is free to play and is available on both Android and iOS.
The Walking Dead: Michonne
The Walking Dead: Michonne is somewhat of a spin-off from the story-rich game series, The Walking Dead by Telltale Games. Dubbed as a miniseries, this game lets you play as the iconic, blade-wielding and fiercely independent lady from The Walking Dead universe, Michonne. In her shoes, you'll get to explore the time when Michonne's absence between issues #126 and #139 of the series' comic book and what made her returned to her old group of survivors, and to some extent friends, in three brilliantly detailed episodes.Of course, players will get to make important, story-changing decisions on Michonne's behalf and experience the world as she did. The Walking Dead: Michonne is an interactive game that will fill in the missing part of the storyline for fans of The Walking Dead comic book series.
