Dishonored vs Don't Die, Minerva!
Dishonored
Dishonored is one of the most highly acclaimed, first-person action-stealth game that puts you into the role of a supernatural assassin set in a city, Dunwall, where somehow technology and the paranormal collide. Unbeknown to you, the cost of your supernatural abilities that had made you into one of the most efficient assassins ever is incredibly high and once the cost is made known, you can't help but feel betrayed and hence, your path to exacting your vengeance on the dark forces who gave you these powers begins.The gameplay in Dishonored is amazingly free-form - you can approach each assassination your way as long as they are stealthy enough to keep you alive. Aside from your new-found ability to possess any living creature and stop time itself, you can use distractions and the pockets of darkness to your advantage as well. Interestingly, your chosen way to kill will affect the world around you and the outcomes of your missions will also change as a result. There are plenty of ways for you to customize your character to fit your play style too.
Since its release, Dishonored has garnered a massive amount of approval from fans and critics alike. After all, it has managed to provide a stealth-based game that's not only unique but also incredibly immersive and addictive to play. If you enjoy stealth games with a bit of extra mystique, this is definitely the game to buy!
Don't Die, Minerva!
Don't Die, Minerva! is a Halloween-themed, arcade shooter-like, rogue-lite where you play as 11-year-old Minerva who was trapped in a haunted mansion and is desperate to find a way out. Kite enemies around, dodge colorful projectiles, and deploy your trusty stuffed animal-slash-turret whenever possible just so you can make it to the next elevator in one piece!The game looks and feels like a roguelite that’s aimed towards midcore/casual gamers as well as children who enjoy challenging games, due to its easy-to-grasp gameplay and also its child-friendly visuals (no blood or gore). The protagonist herself is also a child, so there’s that. However, the game doesn’t seem to offer much once you’ve grinded and unlocked all your skills, and because of this, its full price is definitely a bit on the higher end.
Still, if you love playing rogue-lites and would like to buy a game that both you and your child can enjoy, Don’t Die, Minerva is a really great choice. It’s just that you might want to wait for a discount before you buy the game.
