Bastion vs Outlast
Bastion
Bastion is a very unique action RPG that is so different from any other RPGs you might have played before mainly because the game provides you with your very own personal narrator who will reactively narrate your every move and action, resulting in a deeper and much more personal story to be crafted as you progress in your adventure. The brilliant hand-painted graphics and the melodious soundtrack in this game is astounding too, allowing you to be fully immersed in the bright and cheery-looking world despite being shattered into pieces by an almost apocalyptic event called the Calamity.The gameplay in Bastion is most definitely not the hack-and-slash sort. Instead, the game rewards you for approaching your battles with finesse rather than recklessness. To make your character stronger and able to take on tougher enemies, there are plenty of weapons you can loot and upgrade as well. Best yet, you can even discover up to 6 different Bastion structures and that the game has plenty of varied game modes for you to enjoy.
Bastion is an RPG very unlike any other we, and possibly you, have ever experienced before. The game has a really fascinating way of approaching its storytelling aspect and that alone is enough to make the game a must-buy for many players. But if the storyline isn't something you emphasize on, then you might want to grab the game for its gameplay instead.
Outlast
Outlast is an intensely-terrifying, first-person survival horror game where you play the inquisitive investigative journalist Miles Upshur who taking a look at the shady Mount Massive Asylum that was recently reopened by the equally shifty Murkoff Corporation. The asylum has been operating in secrecy and you are there to find out why! Of course, when the truth is revealed to you... you might think twice about your eagerness to uncover it in the first place.Being a story-driven game, you can expect excellent narrative, apt sound effects and immersive graphics to help you push the story along. Unlike some horror games, you can't fight in this game - you are merely a journalist, after all. Thus, its gameplay is rather stealth-based with some elements of parkour. So, you'll need to rely on your awareness and instinct to decide when you'll need to hide and when to simply run for your life. Naturally, you wouldn't want to be caught by any of the asylum's terrifying, criminally-insane patients.
If you're looking for a game to scare the hell out of you before even Halloween comes around, Outlast is the perfect game to do that. Be sure to be prepared for a truly terrifying scare and keep the young uns far away.
