Dungeon Siege vs The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild brings you a whole new and groundbreaking adventure where you are free to explore the wild, ruined kingdom of Hyrule whichever way you like, though for some places, you may need to equip Link with the appropriate outfits so he can brave the elements in that region. There are tons of Shrines of Trials scattered across the world for you to find, but be careful, there are plenty of dangers that lurk in the wilderness as well and you'd be wise to be constantly vigilant. Interestingly, with so many changes in place, the game still retains the core of a Legend of Zelda game where you'll get to explore the catacombs within these Shrines and possibly emerge with special items and other equally fantastic rewards.The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is definitely a brilliant and somewhat revolutionary addition to the renowned Legend of Zelda game franchise. If you're a fan of the series, you'll want to buy it... like right now.
