Crysis 3 vs Deus Ex: Invisible War
Crysis 3
Crysis 3 is one of the best sequel in the Crysis series so far. As opposed to fighting aliens or other human enemies using a variety of guns, you now possess a unique futuristic Predator Bow that Hawkeye (obviously from the Avengers) would be incredibly envious of. The bow doesn't only look insanely cool, it can even fire various types of augmented arrows that can help you counter heavy artillery fire or electrocute an entire patrol who happened to be walking through a pool of water. Couple that with an improved nanosuit that has all the usual abilities you'd expect and you'll get a super-soldier that you can fully customize to fit your play style.The storyline in this game is quite different than the usual "fight aliens and save the world" sort. In addition to dealing with aliens, you'll also be going against the nefarious C.E.L.L. corporation that had turned the devastated New York City into a vast urban rainforest protected under a massive nanodome.
Crysis 3 has state-of-the-art graphics and effects as well. So, if you are looking to get into the series or even if you're a Crysis veteran, you'll want to get this game... even if its multiplayer functions are currently offline.
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.
