Fossil Hunters vs Rise of the Tomb Raider
Fossil Hunters
Fossil Hunters is a cute anime-like action-adventure game where you play as an archeologist who has been selected to join an elite team of your peers. However, you arrived on the excavation site only to find that everyone else has gone ahead without you and that they have gotten themselves stuck down there somehow. Now, you will have to descend through the many levels of excavation floors in order to save them.Each floor is sectioned off by a mysterious force field which prevents you from immediately descending to the lowest level. Instead, you will need to solve what seems to be a "fossil jigsaw puzzle" by sloting in fossil fragments that you find by clearing away dirt. The game ramps up the difficulty soon after by introducing landslides and weird little creatures whose favorite food is apparently the fossils you excavated. These creatures are afraid of lights though, and as such, you can purchase and place excavation lamps around the work site to deter any creatures from gobbling up the fossiles you've fixed into place... or you can just hit them to scare them away... you know, whichever works best for you!
Fossil Hunters is also a co-op game as well, allowing up to 4 players to play together. If this sounds just like the sort of casual adventure game you enjoy, make sure to check out the game on Steam!
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!
