Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Beyond: Two Souls
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
Beyond: Two Souls
Beyond: Two Souls is a one-of-a-kind psychological action thriller-adventure game where you play as Jodie Holmes, a unique young teen born with a mysterious yet persistent connection to an immensely-powerful being. Join her as she sets off on a soul-searching adventure across the world to find out who she truly is. The game features puzzles for you to solve and several fantastic action sequences which supplement the epic storyline perfectly.The selling point in this game is not only because of the incredibly heartwrenching storyline but also because the game features the voices of A-list Hollywood stars and Academy Award nominees, Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. There isn't a lot of games that can claim to have this type of honor and this speaks volumes about the quality that the game is able to deliver.
So, if you're looking for a game with a story that's gripping enough to keep you at the edge of your seat and yet emotionally-charged enough to make the most hardened criminal shed a tear, this is definitely the game you seek.
