Dungeon Siege 3 vs Risk of Rain
Dungeon Siege 3
Dungeon Siege 3 is the third installment of the popular dungeon crawling game, Dungeon Siege. Unlike its previous games, the game deviates from its usual formula and provide players with a lot more flashy action as well as an amazing skill set along with tactical dodges, blocks and buffs. With drastically improved graphics, everything in the game looks and feels a lot immersive. The storyline in this game, where you play the leader of the remaining band of Legionnaires, is quite decent as well albeit a bit generic (the usual "save the world from evil" sort).However, like many have noted, plenty of its features fall a bit short despite the attempt to innovate the franchise. There are just scores of other games at this point that have done everything it tries to do with much better success. In fact, many have bemoaned the fact that the Dungeon Siege series has been ruined by this latest sequel. Whether this is true or not for you, we can't really say, but if you're still interested to try this game out, do go ahead. Well, the game at least have a co-op mode now though.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
