Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare vs Deus Ex: Invisible War
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is a first-person action-shooter game from the critically-acclaimed Call of Duty franchise that's set in a futuristic and advanced world where soldiers of that era have access to a wide variety of "fun new toys" including powerful exoskeletons, covert cloaking abilities, advanced biomechanics, specialized drones and even a cool hoverbike. The game's strongly story-driven, providing players with a pretty linear path (with a few pockets of freedom) to go through in order to learn more a world that is dominated with private military corporations (PMCs) with largest PMC, Atlas Corporation, in the center of it all.Although Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare offers multiplayer mode, it is basically dead since you'll mainly be matched up with bots rather than actual human players, though if you can get a couple of friends to play the game with you, you might still get a decent multiplayer experience out of it. The game's campaign though is simply amazing - you should definitely check it out.
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Deus Ex: Invisible War is the first sequel to the Deus Ex game franchise and is perhaps one of the least known version. Set in a world 20 years after the events in the first game has concluded, Deus Ex: Invisible War lets you take part in the dark struggle between massive religious sects and powerful political factions that are hellbent on setting up and securing a world government that will pass policies that are in their favor; policies that will change the human society for decades and maybe centuries to come. The storyline in this game may be dark and dreary, but it is supported by plenty of responsive plot branches that will shape your narrative based on your actions and decisions.Aside from the many amazing new augments added to your arsenal, Deus Ex: Invisible War even has a much improved AI and stealth system where enemies will actively seek you (the intruder) out even when any sound is detected. This makes its stealth gameplay a whole lot more challenging. Of course, like the previous game, you'll also be given multiple (more peaceful) ways to avoid conflict if you so wish to.
Deus Ex: Invisible War is unfortunately the black sheep of the franchise. It has plenty of problems and let's not even mention about the incredibly long loading screens. Honestly, if you can afford the other games in the series, you might want to get those instead.
