Deus Ex: The Fall vs Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Deus Ex: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile spin-off (but now it's available on PC, Steam specifically) of the brilliant Deus Ex franchise. However, as you might have expect from a mobile game/port, Deus Ex: The Fall is incredibly basic with very limited controls. You'll still get to play the way you like whether to go into combat head-on or stealthily, but it's just not as exciting or impactful (as claimed).The background for the story in this game is somewhat all right I suppose. The game casts you into the role of Ben Saxon, a former British SAS-turned-mercenary with military-grade augments who is desperate to find out the truth behind the drug conspiracy involving the very drug that all augmented humans need to survive. However, many of the events that are supposed to push the story forward seems to fall short of doing exactly that, making these events rather meaningless. Unlike the non-spin-off games, the decisions you make in the game, however few they may be, doesn't feel important enough either. The game ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, hinting at a sequel that will probably never come.
Deus Ex: The Fall may be a rather decent for a relatively unknown mobile game, but for a franchise as huge as Deus Ex, this game just seems to disappoint everyone. It's not a free-to-play either so if you saved up to buy this game, you might want to continue to save a bit more to get the other Deus Ex games (not the second game though) instead.
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You
Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is set in a dystopian future society where apparently the all-seeing "Big Brother" top-secret governmental security program, named Orwell, has become a reality and his sole and direct handler is you! With all the information, unknowingly supplied to Orwell and hence, to you by the individuals within a fictional city, you'll need to weed out the noise and find the important information that is related to the recent series of terror attacks. These information will then be relayed to security forces who will then carry out the necessary action. So, the information you supply will affect the lives of some or perhaps even all of the people in your city.In some way, Orwell: Keeping an Eye on You is a game that is designed to make you experience what it'd be like to be one of those hapless sims who are just going about their day without knowing how much of their personal information have been harvested by the government, even if it's for the greater good, and how these very info can sometimes help or mislead government officials to take excessive counter-action.
