Journey vs Solitaire Story
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
Solitaire Story
Solitaire Story sets the scene by starting its players off with its engaging storyline where you are charged to help a little blue dragon to stop the evil witch from releasing her toxic potion that will poison the realm. The gameplay in this game is also as exciting mainly due to the combo system that's in place. So, it's actually beneficial for you to plan your moves ahead and chain up your card matches. Not to mention, the game does try to spice things up by adding in new elements, such as the lock and key cards, to the gameplay. There are plenty of power-ups to buy as well if you realize that you need some help with a level.Solitaire Story is a wonderful and somewhat easy-going solitaire game that would be a perfect alternative game for fans of Solitaire Tales. The game isn't very difficult to play but it's challenging enough to get you asking for more levels!
