Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare vs Deus Ex: The Fall
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: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile spin-off (but now it's available on PC, Steam specifically) of the brilliant Deus Ex franchise. However, as you might have expect from a mobile game/port, Deus Ex: The Fall is incredibly basic with very limited controls. You'll still get to play the way you like whether to go into combat head-on or stealthily, but it's just not as exciting or impactful (as claimed).The background for the story in this game is somewhat all right I suppose. The game casts you into the role of Ben Saxon, a former British SAS-turned-mercenary with military-grade augments who is desperate to find out the truth behind the drug conspiracy involving the very drug that all augmented humans need to survive. However, many of the events that are supposed to push the story forward seems to fall short of doing exactly that, making these events rather meaningless. Unlike the non-spin-off games, the decisions you make in the game, however few they may be, doesn't feel important enough either. The game ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, hinting at a sequel that will probably never come.
Deus Ex: The Fall may be a rather decent for a relatively unknown mobile game, but for a franchise as huge as Deus Ex, this game just seems to disappoint everyone. It's not a free-to-play either so if you saved up to buy this game, you might want to continue to save a bit more to get the other Deus Ex games (not the second game though) instead.
