Superliminal vs Yakuza 0
Superliminal
Superliminal is designed to challenge even the most avid of puzzle solvers, providing them with mind-boggling puzzles, the unique ability to change the size of objects based on depth in perception, and a story filled with heart.The game starts off with you dozing off at the couch in front of a TV showing a weird commercial about some dream therapy program that promptly landed you in a weird dream-like state in which you find yourself the subject of an odd scientific experiment. Thankfully, unlike the more surgical kind of experimentation which would definitely turn the game into a horror show, the scientist behind this experiment is more concerned about testing your mind and its ability to perceive, pushing it to its very limits.
Superliminal offers a nice variety of perspective-based puzzles for you to solve as you move from room to room in what seems to be a vast yet empty scientific complex. The puzzles here start off easy enough since the game does have to do its job of introducing the mechanics to you. The mechanics here mostly involve finding objects that you can manipulate (a.k.a. resize and reposition) and then use in the puzzle’s solution in order to move on to the next “level” or room.
Once you got a hold of the basics, the difficulty of the puzzles starts to ramp up and at times, you might find yourself completely at loss as to what you should do, as I did… and I’m ashamed to say pretty early on in the game. When the game says that “what you see isn’t always what you get”, it’s not kidding.
Superliminal is one of those rare, trippy puzzle games that either you get it or you don’t. Puzzle enthusiasts might find the game more than intriguing to take a crack at due to its unique perspective-based puzzles. The game may be short but the experience it leaves you is unforgettable!
Yakuza 0
Yakuza 0 is a gang-themed action-adventure RPG that draws plenty of comparison to game series like GTA or Mafia. The game is set in the 1988 in the largest cities in Japan, Tokyo and Osaka, where you’ll be playing as Kazuma Kiryu is your run-of-the-mill debt collector who messed up, resulting in the death of his mark. Obviously, you’ll soon find yourself on the run and you’ll need all your wits and fighting skills with you if you are to survive the thugs and lowlifes that are hot on your trail.The atmosphere in Yakuza 0 is simply unmistakably the 80s, with neon-lights everywhere and the sound of cabaret ringing out throughout the streets. This is probably the best part about the game, aside from its intense gameplay. So, if you think this is the game for you, well, you can buy the game on the PlayStation 4 online store.
