Tomb Raider: Underworld vs World of Final Fantasy
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Tomb Raider: Underworld is a rather unique iteration of the age-old favorite action-adventure series featuring the fearless adventurer, Lara Croft. The game retained the franchise's love for intriguing puzzles and yet, it provided a ton of improvements in terms of adding in a dual-target system, non-linear puzzles (puzzles with multiple solutions), new abilities and tools, as well as a cool all-terrain hybrid motorbike.At the time of writing, Tomb Raider: Underworld would be celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, and as such, the game's graphics isn't exactly up to today's standards. The gameplay may feel rather clunky to some as well. However, if you really want to experience a more recent Tomb Raider that stayed true to the old puzzle-heavy format, this is the game to play.
World of Final Fantasy
World of Final Fantasy lets you set off on an exciting adventure across a mysterious land along with two siblings in hopes of finding their lost memories and learning more about their past. There is a host of likeable characters to meet and interact with, some of which are the familiar Final Fantasy heroes that you've known and loved. Unlike the Final Fantasy formula used in most of their main games, the gameplay in this one is quite different. It is a lot like Pokemon where players get to collect, grow, evolve and battle iconic monsters, but here comes the twist - you battle by stacking these monsters to create strategic monster towers. There are several factors, namely the monsters' size, element and order, in combat that will determine your chances of victory and I'd say make the most of these and game the system. In fact, you can even ride the monsters you've caught as mounts to hasten your travels.World of Final Fantasy may be "merely" a spin-off game, but it is still a Final Fantasy game through and through. The art style and the characters that are in the game is a testament to that. The gameplay in this game is very innovative as well. So, if you think you'd like this game, you might want to check it out.
