Hitman vs Novus Inceptio
Hitman
Hitman puts a whole new spin on the series, and is considered one of the best stealth games out there. Here you have Agent 47 in a series of new adventures that are bigger and more open than ever before.Rather than 1 full game, you have a series of seasons, each has its own unique location and story blended with the overall plot. Season one sees you working for the ICA once more and sends you to some pretty amazing locations. In these sandbox areas you have over 300 NPC’s to avoid, accost or outright kill. During the season there will be several expansion packs that expand on the area, move you to a new location or give you more of the story. If you purchase the full game these are free, or you can buy them in stages as a season pass. In either case you have an epic experience waiting for you with special unique missions and the ability to make your own contracts. With a change in strategy the developers have made one of the top rated games of the last 2 years.
Novus Inceptio
Novus Inceptio has all the hallmarks of a great sandbox game in the making, despite still being in early access. Aside from its mysterious sci-fi theme, the game features a variety of fun anomalies (mini-worlds) where you can discover, explore and possibly piece together story snippets about the stuff that had happened in the past. The game also has a more complex and in-depth crafting system, auto-harvesting feature, and a potentially fun underwater exploration/harvesting aspect that will definitely elevate the overall gameplay quality. However, the developers definitely need to make sure the game’s fundamental features, such as its action-based combat system.In addition to being an indie game, Novus Inceptio is also a work-in-progress. However, from what can be seen and experienced, it already has most of the winning features it needs to “make it” in the sandbox genre. It has a very interesting anomaly game concept that allows players to discover and explore multiple mini-worlds. It also offers an in-depth crafting system and farming, though its building and combat aspects are still pretty rudimentary. If you enjoy playing survival/sandbox games, Novus Inceptio is a breathtaking game that you wouldn’t want to miss!
