Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom vs Until Dawn
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is the highly anticipated sequel to the brilliant, story-driven role-playing adventure game. As opposed to continuing the previous game's storyline (not that the first game ended on a cliffhanger or anything), the game sets off on an entirely different yet equally story-driven route by narrating the adventures of a young king, Evan, who was overthrown in a coup but still aspires to establish a new kingdom of his own. There will be an whole new cast of characters to meet and interact with in this journey and eventually, you will need to, together with Evan, confront the dark forces that threaten the good people of the world.Ni No Kuni 2 certainly outdid itself this time around! In fact, the game is so incredibly immersive to the point where you sometimes forget that this is actually a game and not an anime movie, especially considering how well the outstanding visuals and music blended together. This is a game that fans of story-driven gameplay would greatly enjoy!
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
