Deus Ex: Human Revolution vs Mass Effect 3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the game that had literally blown up the Deus Ex franchise, rocketing the series to fame. Seriously, what's not to love about Deus Ex: Human Revolution? The game not only retains but also improved on many aspects that had defined the franchise, from its stealth-heavy gameplay and the amazing arsenal of augments to its choice-driven, moral dilemma-infused, well-crafted and non-linear storyline, but what made this game really stand out is its incredibly immersive, cyberpunk world that is oddly very relatable (despite being set in the future and all) and a dark yet charismatic protagonist (a bit like the Max Payne in the first 2 games) that everyone can truly feel for.As usual, the game's story has many ethically-charged decisions and choices that you'll have to make, which in turn will result in very different outcomes and sometimes, may even trigger a cascade of other events. You can also opt to avoid killing anyone in your gameplay (a full stealth run) or you could simply end every encounter with a blood bath. The best part in this game though is that at the very end, your every decision will affect the overall summary of your character's very being.
It's not at all surprising to see how Deus Ex: Human Revolution has managed to reach out and attract the interest of so many gamers. The game is incredibly well-designed and created and every bit of detail in the game is simply exquisite! If you want to get into the series, this is THE game to buy.
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 is the last part of the Mass Effect trilogy where you'll be plunged into an epic, all-out intergalactic war in an attempt to take back the Earth from a supposedly unstoppable enemy. The game went all out in this game, flawlessly combining its fantastic interactive storytelling with intense and fast-paced gameplay where the decisions you make will have consequences that you will just have to live with.Similar to the previous games in this trilogy, you'll get to assemble an elite team of soldiers to aid you in your quest and it is entirely up to you, their commander, to decide how to approach a combat situation, be it opting for a frontal assault... Rambo-style, or trying to outwit the enemies by flanking or out-flanking them. Aside from some ranged shooting action, this time, you'll get a powerful omniblade that you can use in close-and-personal encounters with the enemy as well.
Mass Effect 3 provides a great ending to the Mass Effect trilogy, and is a game you should most definitely play if you want to get a complete story from its first game to the last. Thankfully though, BioWare agrees with its fans that it's a pity to just stop producing Mass Effect games and have released their latest game, Mass Effect: Andromeda.
