My Story: Choose Your Own Path vs RimWorld
My Story: Choose Your Own Path
My Story: Choose Your Own Path is an interactive story game where you can choose your own narrative by picking the dialogue option that you like the most during, usually, a pretty critical moment in the game. Your choices will affect the course of the storyline, determining your relationship with the friends in the plot, your popularity as well as who you'll be able to date. Similar to games like Choices or Episodes, you get to personalize your character and choose a fitting hairstyle and clothes.The only downside though is that updates are a bit slow in this game. A new chapter for a story you like may take months to arrive. Not to mention, some players have suggested that the game might want to add more options for players to earn free diamonds and tickets, and this, in turn, may point out that the game may be a bit pay-to-play... as in, you'll need to spend real money to buy premium currency if you plan on uncovering the the actual deeper version of the story rather than the skim-the-surface one.
All in all, My Story: Choose Your Own Path is incredibly similar to Choices and Episodes in so many ways. Fans of the latter games might enjoy playing this one as well.
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!
