EVE Online vs J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
EVE Online
EVE Online is a space simulation/ action MMO game that is among the most talked about game of all time when it comes epic space battles and deep "political" rifts between factions and guilds. In fact, the game has a social aspect that's so intricate - almost web-like - connecting every single player together that sometimes results in a melting pot that unfortunately boiled over... and that's when massive wars involving thousands of players and their spacecrafts erupt!Featuring immersive and rich lore as well as the whole universe for you to explore, the game is not all dogfights in space either - you can actually build a mining empire by excavating and trading minerals or become a cunning space pirate and ambush passing traders and their laden cargo too.
No other game does the space game genre justice than EVE Online. It can be rather complicated and somewhat daunting for a new player to start in the game, but once you got into the groove, you'll realize how brilliant this game is.
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is truly a game that's very unique. Despite its apparent appearance - it does look like "just another space sim", doesn't it? - the game is a fun and innovative, story-driven adventure game with a heavy dose of mystery added for good measure. In this game, you'll get to step into the spacesuit of Rachel Manners, a 35-year-old astrobiologist who initially embarked on a critical mission to explore and collect data on potentially habitable planets with a crew of of other elite and hand-picked scientists, but somehow, things went awry, and she found herself alone with J.U.L.I.A., the space probe's rather tempermental AI and Mobot, the reconnaissance robot.Driven by a need to know, you'll need to help Rachel search for clues which might potentially explain the mission's failure and the missing crew. You'll also get to travel to six widely varied planets where you can then get to work trying to reveal their secrets. There will be plenty of puzzles and mini-games in your journey as well just to give your brain some intense workout from time to time.
That said, the puzzles in the game can be a tad bit frustrating to solve, mainly because it's the sort of "trial and error" puzzle-type. So, unless you have a thing or two against this specific game mechanism, J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars is a really nice puzzle-adventure game to buy and play.
