Metro: Last Light vs This War of Mine
Metro: Last Light
Metro: Last Light is the sequel to a rather popular, post-apocalyptic themed, first-person action-shooter game series, Metro. It's the year 2034 now and humanity - what's left of it anyway - is still fighting to eke out a living and also survive the mutants that are roaming a devastated Moscow, above and below ground. Your group of survivors is running low on supplies and the resources you can scavenge is getting scarcer everyday, but the D6 bunker your group has found might contain enough supplies to last you for years.Unfortunately, the other factions are well-aware of the bunker's existence as well, and an all-out war is about to erupt over the last possible huge cache of supplies left in Moscow. With such a gripping story as a foundation, Metro: Last Light has an atmosphere that is truly immersive and a gameplay that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will your group survive the impending war? Or will the remnants of humanity crumble to dust?
This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
