Far Cry 4 vs Thief Gold
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 casts you into the role of Ajay Ghale, a person who travelled to the remote mountainous region of Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish only to find himself trapped in a civil war between the rebels and the dictator that ruled the region with an iron fist, Pagan Min. Featuring the same epic open world and the freedom to literally do whatever you like, Far Cry 4 has a whole lot more deadly beings aside from humans with guns; the place is teeming with a wide variety of dangerous wildlife that will put your hunting skills to the test. The game also provides you with a whole new set of weapons and vehicles, including the ability to ride an elephant into battle. Far Cry 4 even has a co-op aspect where you can grab a friend to explore the beautiful region and kill Pagan's people along with you.However, the game only has an automatic save (and no checkpoint saves) that severely limits the supposedly sandbox aspect of the game and well, the game has unskippable cutscenes, which frankly can get rather annoying in your second playthrough. Despite its downsides though, Far Cry 4 feels a lot more realistic than most open world games mainly because of the abundant of wildlife that is supposed to be present in a remote region like Kyrat. If you've enjoyed most of the Far Cry games so far, you'll definitely love this one.
Thief Gold
Thief Gold is the very first Thief game in the franchise and it is possibly the most revolutionary back in the day. With stealth as the core of its gameplay, you'll need to use whatever tools (blackjack, sword, and a variety of arrows) and skills you have to steal goods and information alike while you gradually uncover the secret agendas of various important people in a story of deception and vengeance. The game even has advanced enemies that are more aware than most, can sound the dreaded alarms, and can communicate with other enemies to relay information.Thief Gold is a classic stealth game that many modern games are inspired by. However, the game might not have aged as well, and the graphics may put you off. Thankfully there are mods, right? Well, if you've got the chance and you love stealth games, this is definitely a game you should try.
