Darksiders vs Far Cry 4
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 casts you into the role of Ajay Ghale, a person who travelled to the remote mountainous region of Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish only to find himself trapped in a civil war between the rebels and the dictator that ruled the region with an iron fist, Pagan Min. Featuring the same epic open world and the freedom to literally do whatever you like, Far Cry 4 has a whole lot more deadly beings aside from humans with guns; the place is teeming with a wide variety of dangerous wildlife that will put your hunting skills to the test. The game also provides you with a whole new set of weapons and vehicles, including the ability to ride an elephant into battle. Far Cry 4 even has a co-op aspect where you can grab a friend to explore the beautiful region and kill Pagan's people along with you.However, the game only has an automatic save (and no checkpoint saves) that severely limits the supposedly sandbox aspect of the game and well, the game has unskippable cutscenes, which frankly can get rather annoying in your second playthrough. Despite its downsides though, Far Cry 4 feels a lot more realistic than most open world games mainly because of the abundant of wildlife that is supposed to be present in a remote region like Kyrat. If you've enjoyed most of the Far Cry games so far, you'll definitely love this one.
