Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege vs Wasteland 2
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is the highly anticipated installment to the acclaimed team-based, first-person shooter series, the Rainbow Six, which is based loosely on Tom Clancy's bestselling novels. Being an exclusively multiplayer game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege offers players the rare opportunity to engage in intense, close-quarters confrontations by either bunkering down the site (if you play as the defender) or breaching the site (if you play as the attacker). Each match is highly tactical in nature, emphasizing on clever and well-timed breaching or defending strategies as well as perfect locations to set up or use the tools at your disposal regardless of which side of the fight you may be, in addition to accurate shooting and effective teamplay.The best part in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege though is that the game allow procedural destruction and this is something every player should use, especially for the breachers, to take their enemies by surprise. Collapse entryways to block paths or break down walls and ceilings to open up new ones - do whatever it takes to ensure victory for your team.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege may not be an easy game for newcomers to get into since they will have to learn the maps via the hard way (like most MMO shooter games actually), but once you have a certain experience in the game, you'll find this game amazingly-stimulating and refreshing due to its incredibly tactical teamplay.
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 is the exciting sequel to the legendary Wasteland 1. However, unlike the text-heavy original, this new game provides an incredibly-polished, turn-based strategic gameplay that will bring to mind games like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. You'll also get to reprise your role as the enigmatic leader of the Desert Ranger squad and assemble a team that can handle a wide range of weapons and preferably people with personalities which you can work with. Thankfully, it's nice that the game actually lets you customize the personality traits of your squad aside from customizing their looks and their loadouts.Like the previous game, the storyline is heavily based on your decisions and the consequences that came out of these decisions, some of which may even change the lives of the characters in the game. Wasteland is also a bit more tactical than its predecessor, allowing you to tactically maim your enemies to slow them down, for example. You can even kick down or stealthily pick the lock on doors if you don't feel like going on a hunt for the key.
With so many accolades and praises under its belt, Wasteland 2 proved that an age-old franchise can be revived with critical success. inXile Entertainment and their massive Kickstarter community definitely deserved a huge pat in the back for bringing Wasteland back for the younger generation to experience.
