Final Fantasy XV vs Infinity Blade II
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV is the latest installment of the main Final Fantasy franchise. In this game, you get to play as Crown Prince Noctis as he embarks on a road trip across gorgeous landscapes and bustling towns in the fictional world of Eos to reclaim his homeland from the grasps of an eternal foe. With a group of colorful characters-slash-friends in a pretty cool- yet expensive-looking car, you'll get to explore every inch of the incredible open world. But of course, you can also alight from the vehicle to walk instead. Similar to previous games, Final Fantasy XV features thrilling, action-based combat that allows you to channel the power of your ancestors as you hack and slash your way through throngs of enemies with your companions by your side. There are also magic and team-based attacks that you can employ in your battles.The game has a rather differnent feel and tone to it this time around, but it still retains the epic-ness that makes it a worthy sequel in the Final Fantasy franchise. The game is currently available on consoles, but for PC gamers, you might still need to wait a while before you can get it on Steam.
Infinity Blade II
Infinity Blade II continues the storyline from the previous game by letting you reprise your role as the hero-savior, Siris. Being curiosity-driven, you’ll need to travel across the realm of the Deathless Saydhi to find clues as to unlock the mystery behind the Infinity Blade you now wield. Of course, being Infinity Blade, there will always be tyrants and Titans for you to slay via the game’s excellent action-based combat (now in three new styles) as well as a plethora of weapons to slay them with.The game has also improved on the game’s hallmark character customization, providing you with the option to now forge even more powerful items and infuse them with elemental powers and capabilities. Interestingly, the game has an optional ClashMob app where players can recruit friends to their respective mobs and participate in fun and massively social global challenges to reap amazing rewards.
Infinity Blade II definitely builds on the success of its predecessor and it has managed to do so successfully. A worthy sequel to add to your game library, I’d say!
