Love Island: The Game vs RimWorld
Love Island: The Game
Love Island: The Game is a romance-themed interactive story that is quite similar to Episode - Choose Your Story andChapters - Interactive Stories in terms of its gameplay. Inspired by ITV's hit reality TV show, Love Island, this game will put you into the shoes of one of the hot ladies, letting you choose your own smoking hot dates and create your own drama. Like the other games in the genre, you can customize your avatar's looks as well from time to time just so you can unlock the best possible plot for your character.
The only complaint that many players have voiced is that the diamonds that are needed to purchase unique clothes to open up new dialogue choices or to skip the waiting time in between parts of the story can be very difficult to earn as a free-to-play player. Expect to spend some real money on this game if you want to enjoy the best plotline of the game.
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
