Don't Die, Minerva! vs F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
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.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin puts you into the shoes of Special Forces Sgt. Michael Becket whose routine mission turned into a fight for survival as he and his squad fight tooth and nail against the wrath of Alma Wade. In this game, you'll need to battle through a terrifying post-apocalyptic-like landscape in hopes of finding clues that you can use against Alma. Aside from its amazing bullet time mechanics, the tactical gameplay is as intense and explosive as ever, forcing you to truly make use of your surroundings and decide the best approach to tackling certain obstacles. The AI in this game has been enhanced as well, giving you the extra challenge you crave.Not to mention, if you're interested, you might also want to grab F.E.A.R. 2's major DLC, F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn as well just so you can have a complete story and fully enjoy this sequel.
