Animal Crossing: New Leaf vs This War of Mine
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is one of the newer Animal Crossing games mainly because of its most recent free update which includes all of the new features and amiibo-related features from Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo (it's something like an expansion). This means you'll be able to simply tap on your amiibo figures and cards to invite them to visit your town in your game to to get them to move in. Of course, the same features that had made the series great are also present in this game, including the fun customizing aspect of your character, home and town.Animal Crossing: New Leaf was literally given a new lease on life with the brand-new update and has renewed interest in this 2013 game.

This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
