Downward vs Mad Max
Downward
Downward is an indie, first-person open-world parkour adventure. In this game, the end of the world has come and gone, tipping the Earth’s equilibrium and leaving in its wake the ruins of civilizations. Being among the handful of humans left, you set off on a treacherous journey to seek out and collect mysterious artifacts that may finally explain why things are now the way they are. Use various parkour techniques as well as the anomalies that had appeared across the post-apocalyptic world to traverse tricky puzzle-like locations and to escape from creatures that have awakened to claim the world as their own.To sum up, Downward is an incredible feat of a game, especially for an indie team of 3 people. The game is not only both challenging and entertaining; it provides players with inventive new game mechanics to play with; mechanics that gave the game a depth never seen before in first-person parkour game. Of course, aside from the brilliant graphics and sound, there’s also the insatiable urge to collect everything there is to collect in this game as well as mini parkour challenges which offer players hours of replayability.
So, if this sounds like a game you’d enjoy, you’ll be happy to know that you can buy Downward (early access) now on Steam for a mere $9.99 or you can try the demo for free. Check the game out today!
Mad Max
Mad Max lets you play as the enigmatic lone warrior, Mad Max himself, as you roam the brutal post-apocalyptic world to not only survive against the crazy bandits but also to take down the warlord. With a strong focus on insane vehicular combat, you'll need to scour the land for salvagable supplies and items so you could build the ultimate "death machine".As you might expect of a Mad Max-inspired game, there isn't any stealth elements to it although its gameplay may remind some of Shadow of Mordor, without all the magic stuff of course, as the game has a combo-based melee combat in addition to the mayhem you can cause with your guns and vehicles. Not to mention, the content in this game is simply huge, much like Ghost Recon Wildlands, though the game might not be as tactical or as team-oriented as the latter.
Mad Max is definitely the game to play if you're a fan of the franchise or enjoys open world shooters. Do give it a try!
