A Dark Room vs Dragon Age: Origins
A Dark Room
A Dark Room is a text-based, story-rich and a very intriguing RPG that has taken the world by storm mainly because the impressive depths it provides with minimalistic resources (i.e. texts). Although you start off the game simply stoking a fire, the game eventually adds in other elements such as resources (wood, obviously) in which you use to stoke your fire with as well as the other characters who will want to share the warmth of your bonfire and eventually, once they are feeling better, help you to the best of their abilities. The game also allows you to travel to different locations, such as the Silent Forest, to gather wood or check traps.In many ways, A Dark Room may remind the older gamers of the time when the internet has not really gone mainstream yet. These are the sort of fun story-based games that are circulating around back then. If you enjoy a good story, this is a game you'll want to play. It's completely free after all!
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins is the first game in one of the most highly-acclaimed game series, Dragon Age. The game seems to combine all the great elements of a traditional RPG with an epic storyline set in a gorgeous open world that will truly put your morality and decision-making skills to the test. In some way, the game does bring to mind the immersiveness of the Fable series as you'll be able to actually mold your character's personality and morality based on every single decision you make. The host of characters in this game is pretty amazing as well. Their personalities are very well-crafted and this makes them relatable, and hence, realistic.That's not all, the game features an exciting and engaging combat system that will see you fighting enemies of all shapes and sizes... and of course, dragons. Being one of the last Grey Wardens, you also possess incredible magical powers and skills that further augments the game's melee combat. Due to the game's 3-person party-based system, the game's combat system even has a special "paused" function where you can issue individual orders to your allies for a more coordinated but equally fast-paced action combat.
Dragon Age: Origins is the sort of game that can hold its own even after years since its release. In fact, we dare say this game might already made it into the list of modern classics. If you love a rich story and a fun action RPG, this is definitely the game to buy.
