Monster Harvest vs Pokemon Black and White 2
Monster Harvest
Monster Harvest is a very promising game that features a refreshing blend of monster-collecting and farming simulation. In this game, you grow various “pocket monsters” called Planimals at your farm and bring them to the local rec center to test your mettle or the dungeon to gather special materials. You'll get to develop both your farm and your skills as a Planimal trainer.If you love farming sims and collecting Pokemon - or any other types of pocket monsters really, then Monster Harvest is the game for you! The game features the very interesting premise of turning your crops into battle pets, and how you “slime” them will result in different kinds of pets with varying power. There’s even a roguelite dungeon and a gym for you to test your mettle at and, in the case of the dungeon, gather special resources for upgrades.
The sad thing is Monster Harvest is woefully early access and a work-in-progress. The game still has some pretty massive bugs and pending content (such as the empty-feeling “festival”), though none of them are completely game-breaking. In the worst case, you’ll just have to restart the game, though some players have reported corrupted saved games where all their planimals stored in the pen went missing.
Due to this, I’d not recommend getting the game right now. If you’re really interested, try the free demo and wishlist the game to keep an eye on it. Once the bugs are squashed to a more manageable level and some more features and content are added, then you might want to splurge and grab the game.
Pokemon Black and White 2
Pokemon Black and White 2 is set 2 years after the events in Pokemon Black and White where you'll start your adventure in the beautiful city of Aspertia. The game features the same generation of Pokemon as the previous game (and yes, this includes the legendaries), but since you'll be playing in a whole new region, you'll have plenty of new places to explore and people to meet. Not to mention, you may even spot a few familiar faces from Pokemon Black and White too. What's really different about this game though is that the Pokemon you get via your Pokemon Dream Radar can now be transferred to your Pokemon Black and White 2 game.All in all, if you already own a copy of Pokemon Black and White, you might still want to grab Pokemon Black and White 2 as well mainly to experience the new region and adventure.
