Deus Ex: Invisible War vs Hello, Neighbor!
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.
Hello, Neighbor!
Hello, Neighbor! is a first-person horror/adventure game where you play a newly moved-in suburbian who noticed that their grumpy and unfriendly neighbor is being all suspicious. Your curiousity got the better of you and you took it upon yourself to play detective, break into your neighbor’s house (hopefully undetected) and find out what’s going on.Now, Hello, Neighbor! is not only a game that's unique because no one has ever done something like this before; the game also has a lot of surprising depth to it especially when it comes to figuring out the best way to break into your neighbor's place without getting caught or when your neighbor made an unexpected detour and you're just seconds from being found out. Not to mention, the AI in this game - your neighbor - actually is quite devious too. It can learn from your previous successful attempts and adapt accordingly. As a result, the game gradually becomes increasingly difficult and unpredictably challenging even for the best players.
Not to mention, it’s not every day you could plot how to break into your neighbor’s home, albeit a virtual one, and actually go and carry it out without having to worry about getting caught trespassing and slapped with a hefty fine. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo out for free.
