Doom vs Vanquish
Doom
Doom follows the footsteps of its revolutionary predecessor, the game that had pioneered the genre of first person shooters. Returned to the limelight with as much gore as before, this new and greatly enhanced version of Doom guarantees hours after hours of fun either in single player (with multiple game modes) or multiplayer mode as players mow down endless waves of demons with insanely destructive guns in intense, fast-paced and heartpounding action. The multiplayer mode in this game is a whole lot more entertaining as players can now opt to play either as Doom marines or as demons in an epic arena-styled clash to the death.The best part though is definitely the Doom SnapMap, a level editor which allows players, for the first time ever, to easily create their own adventures and even game modes, and share them for all to enjoy. This literally offers limitless gameplay for both the creators and the players alike.
The Doom franchise is one of the most iconic shooters of all time and have paved the way to the many epic shooters that we get to play today. This latest resurrection of Doom definitely pays homage to the timeless classic and also give modern-day shooters a nod of respect as to how far they have come. This is certainly a game you'll want to get if you're a fan of frantic shooter games like the Serious Sam franchise.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
