City of Love: Paris vs Until Dawn
City of Love: Paris
City of Love: Paris , developed by none other than Ubisoft, lets you dive into an interactive drama where you'll get to play as the heroine of your own story. Enjoy a storyline filled with romance and mystery as you visit various iconic Parisian locations like the Louvre, Notre-Dame cathedral, Montmartre, and more. The game also has a cast of well-fleshed-out characters for you to meet and flirt with... and who knows? You may end up finding your one true love!Like most games in this new interactive storytelling genre though, City of Love: Paris happens to be rather restrictive when it comes to premium decisions and unlocking new episodes. Having to wait a whole day just for 5 minutes of gameplay isn't exactly the idea of fun. However, the game is superb illustrations - better than most of the interactive storytelling games out there - and an interface that's very easy to navigate.
So, if you enjoy a romantic story that has a dash of mystery in it, City of Love: Paris is the game you should play. Just bear in mind that you will only be able to play this game in short bursts so you might want to fill in the time with some other games like City of Love: Paris that you may like.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
