Mass Effect 3 vs Past Cure
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 is the last part of the Mass Effect trilogy where you'll be plunged into an epic, all-out intergalactic war in an attempt to take back the Earth from a supposedly unstoppable enemy. The game went all out in this game, flawlessly combining its fantastic interactive storytelling with intense and fast-paced gameplay where the decisions you make will have consequences that you will just have to live with.Similar to the previous games in this trilogy, you'll get to assemble an elite team of soldiers to aid you in your quest and it is entirely up to you, their commander, to decide how to approach a combat situation, be it opting for a frontal assault... Rambo-style, or trying to outwit the enemies by flanking or out-flanking them. Aside from some ranged shooting action, this time, you'll get a powerful omniblade that you can use in close-and-personal encounters with the enemy as well.
Mass Effect 3 provides a great ending to the Mass Effect trilogy, and is a game you should most definitely play if you want to get a complete story from its first game to the last. Thankfully though, BioWare agrees with its fans that it's a pity to just stop producing Mass Effect games and have released their latest game, Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Past Cure
Past Cure is a story-driven thriller/adventure game where you play as a Syrian ex-army veteran, Ian, who was kidnapped and subjected to horrific, and very much illegal, scientific experiments. As a result, Ian has gained superhuman mental capabilities, including the ability to conjure astral projections and use mind bashes to destroy objects, in addition to his already intensive military training from being a soldier. However, all of this comes at a terrible cost - Ian's mind is destabilized and only the effects of an experimental yet powerful drug called Blue is able to help him keep his mental demons at bay.Although the game contains game mechanics like shooting, melee combat (boxing) and stealth, Past Cure is still primarily a story-oriented adventure game. Progression here is pretty linear, as most single narrative games are, and there aren't a lot of depth when it comes to its game features, with the sole exception of its intriguing storyline and several puzzle-like scenarios. The atmosphere generated in the game is astounding though! The music, especially during creepy scenes, makes your skin crawl, and the game features plenty of brilliantly edited cutscenes with some cool cinematographic effects.
So, despite the negative reviews on Steam, Past Cure is a really well-made interactive experience, story-wise. However, if you're expecting anything else, such as a hardcore stealth-based game, then you might feel like the game's a huge let-down. At least now you know what you can expect before you purchase the game!
