Bastion vs Shelter 2
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.
Shelter 2
Shelter 2 is a simulation/RPG where you play as a lynx, an animal that lives out on the cold tundra and is somewhere in the middle of the food chain. In this game, you start as a pregnant lynx who's looking for a safe space to give birth and rear your cubs. You'll get to experience parenthood from the perspective of an animal and the experience can be pretty immersive thanks to the many maternal and hunting features available, including calling the cubs to move closer to you and smelling the air for any prey nearby. The game is a lot richer in terms of its diversity than the original game as well, and you'll get access to a lot more movements and jumps, giving you the range of movements you'd come to expect for a graceful animal like the lynx.Although the graphics here may be an acquired taste, Shelter 2 is still a masterpiece of a game and is definitely the sort of game you'll want to play if you love playing animal games where you're placed in the paws of said animal.
