Flame in the Flood vs Rise of the Tomb Raider
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rise of the Tomb Raider lets you step into the shoes of the world's coolest female treasure hunter ever, Lara Croft, and set off on a brand-new thrilling adventure across Siberia in a race against a ruthless organization, the Trinity, to find the Lost City of Kitezh. As opposed to the older versions of the game, Lara will not only have to battle members of the Trinity but also the wildlife in the region so as to scavenge rare resources to craft new weapons and items. There are more ways for you to engage the enemy, including multiple forms of stealth-based takedowns that may remind you of the gameplay in games like Assassin's Creed, distractions and of course, the Rambo-styled, all-out frontal attack.Being a treasure hunter, you'll also get to explore a wide variety of tombs, each filled with intriguing puzzles, well-hidden traps and a ton of secrets to uncover. If you get the 20 Year Celebration version, you will also get bonus content like Blood Ties which will let you explore Croft Manor and Lara's Nightmare that will pit you against hordes of zombies as well as several co-op game modes like the Co-op Endurance mode which will let you test your survival skills with a friend.
Rise of the Tomb Raider may not be as awesome as the 2013 installment of the series, but it's a close second. Not to mention, if you're the sort who's really particular about the graphics, you might want to grab this game instead. It's the latest, and hence, the most graphically-pleasing Tomb Raider game, you'll get!
