Fallout: New Vegas vs Metro: Last Light
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is what many hardcore fans of the popular game franchise called a "spin-off" but even so, the game is incredibly well-done in terms of its gameplay and graphics. You'll get to experience a whole new "world" (the map of post-apocalyptic Vegas... a.k.a. New Vegas) filled with plenty of hidden secrets and interesting quests to discover. There is also a more intriguing connection between the characters in this game, allowing for an epic power struggle between factions to realistically play out... with some nudging of your own, of course.The game even boasts of a new features like a companion wheel so you can order your companion around in a smoother manner, as well as a weapon configuration system that may not be as in-depth as in Fallout 4 but it definitely paves the way to the incredible weapon crafting/customization system that the game uses today.
The most unfortunate part about this game though is that it's riddled with quite a lot of glitches - none of which are truly gamebreaking but they can be rather immersion-breaking. Nonetheless, despite being kind of like the black sheep in the family, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic open world RPG with one of the creepiest Fallout DLCs (IMHO).
Metro: Last Light
Metro: Last Light is the sequel to a rather popular, post-apocalyptic themed, first-person action-shooter game series, Metro. It's the year 2034 now and humanity - what's left of it anyway - is still fighting to eke out a living and also survive the mutants that are roaming a devastated Moscow, above and below ground. Your group of survivors is running low on supplies and the resources you can scavenge is getting scarcer everyday, but the D6 bunker your group has found might contain enough supplies to last you for years.Unfortunately, the other factions are well-aware of the bunker's existence as well, and an all-out war is about to erupt over the last possible huge cache of supplies left in Moscow. With such a gripping story as a foundation, Metro: Last Light has an atmosphere that is truly immersive and a gameplay that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will your group survive the impending war? Or will the remnants of humanity crumble to dust?
