Journey vs Wizard's Words
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.
Wizard's Words
Wizard's Words is a fun word game developed by the casual mobile developer and publisher, Playgendary. It's similar to many other word games in which you have to find a certain series of words based on the letter tiles you get, but what makes this game a lot more interesting is the fact that the tiles are stacked. This also means that once you cleared away a word or two on the upper stack, you'll then move on to solving the middle and subsequently the bottom stack. Naturally, the game has hints to help you out and there are multiple ways for you to earn free hints without shelling out real cash.Wizard's Words puts a really nice twist to the pretty "standard" game design for most word games out there, and that little tweak has made this game stand out among all the other word games. So, if you fancy a word game that's familiar enough and yet different, Wizard's Words is a mobile game you'll want to try!
