Fable 3 vs Verdant Skies
Fable 3
Fable 3 is, unfortunately, the last RPG in the franchise and it goes out with a bang. In this game, you'll not play as a mere random adventurer but instead, you get to become so much more - the leader of a revolution to take control of Albion and defend it from a relentless threat! As a ruler, your every choice will have a more drastic impact on the virtual world you'll be playing in, as well as on your subjects.Fable 3 was previously available on PC via Steam, but somehow, the game was taken offline and now is only available on Xbox, to the dismay of many fans worldwide. However, if you do own an Xbox, you might want to get this game as well, especially if you're a fan of the series.
Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
