The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth vs Torchlight
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is not the sequel to the popular indie Rogue-like game, The Binding of Isaac. Instead, this Rebirth version is simply a remake of the game featuring enhanced graphics, a better game engine, a more polished artwork as well as cleaner visual effects. The gameplay is still basically the game, with the same depressing storyline and the same crazy level of replayability. However, this time around, the game offers players the possibly of playing co-op (2 players) in addition to better support for controllers (mainly because the game is, unlike the previous, available on Xbox and Playstation), a bunch of achievements, and a long list of unique characters for its co-op mode.If you've loved The Binding of Isaac, you might want to grab The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth just for the co-op mode and the overall better gaming experience.
Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
