Destiny vs Risk of Rain
Destiny
Destiny is a console-exclusive FPS/RPG that features a brilliant combination of cinematic storytelling in addition to cooperative and competitive gameplay that will see players banding together to take down challenging bosses or engage in some arena-like PvP. Set in our own solar system way in the future, the game also has a vast persistent online world in campaign mode for you to explore alone or with friends. Destiny provides players with a wide variety of customization and upgrade options as well, allowing you to craft every aspect of how your character look and fight.Destiny has been one of the most critically acclaimed, consoles-only games of the century. The game has the addictiveness of modern MMORPGs as well as the depth that rivals that of Skyrim, albeit set in an aging solar system. If you happen to own a PlLaystation or an Xbox, this is one game you'll want to add to your library.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
