Deus Ex: The Fall vs Star Trek Online
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.
Star Trek Online
Star Trek Online is a sci-fi-themed MMORPG that features epic dogfights in space, a wide variety of alien species and encounters, as well as cool forms of futuristic space travels, set in the iconic Star Trek universe that many love and enjoy in the time period when the Klingons drive to expand their empire came into conflict with the forces of the Federation. That's not all, the Dominions are also seeking to wrestle Alpha Quadrant from the Federation and apparently, the Borgs have returned as well!With so many moving pieces in play, Star Trek Online is as rich in its storyline as in the popular TV shows and movies. THe gameplay is incredibly immersive too. In this game, you'll get to pilot/command your own starship, customize it to your liking and set off to the farthest reaches of the known galaxy fighting opposing factions, both AI and players alike.
In spite of what you might expect, Star Trek Online is not just a brilliant MMO game for fans of the franchise. As long as you have a love for thrilling space battles and exploring the unknown, then you'll fit right in with the other players in this amazing game.
