Journey vs Wordsdom
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.
Wordsdom
Wordsdom is a word puzzle game with the likes of Wordscapes, mainly because of the beautiful and crisp graphics it uses. In this game, you'll need to complete levels of crossword puzzles by swiping to link letters into words. Not all valid words are the answers to the puzzle, however, and the extra ones will thankfully not go to waste - they will gradually fill up your Extra Words Meter. Once full, the meter will reward you with bonus coins. These coins can, in turn, be used to buy hints when a puzzle has you stumped. Don't fancy spending coins? The shuffle button is free to tap on!Wordsdom is a pretty decent alternative game to most of the word puzzle game nowadays. Not that because it's unique or innovative, but mainly because it offers more of the same plus a nice cherry on top that is its brilliant graphics.
