Friday Night Funkin' vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Friday Night Funkin'
Friday Night Funkin' is a challenging, indie, action rhythm game with some cool tunes, intense gameplay, and 6 levels (excluding the tutorial), with each level offering around 2-3 songs. Likely inspired by games like Parappa the Rapper and Dance Dance Revolution, the game comes with both a story mode and a free play mode. In story mode, you play as a young man who just wanted to smooch his hot girlfriend but his ex-rockstar dad is in the way! The only thing you can do is to use the power of music to "convince" him that his daughter is in good hands. Of course, her dad isn't the only guy you'll have to fend off in this game, and I really like that the game included some festive-themed levels too, such as the one for Halloween and Christmas.The gameplay in Friday Night Funkin' is also absolutely thrilling, with moments when a slew of tightly-packed arrows will just fill up your side of the screen, putting your hand-and-eye coordination to the ultimate test. Similar to Parappa the Rapper, you'll only get your turn after your AI "opponent" is done with its turn (and the AI always starts first), but unlike the teacher-student dynamic in the classic, the AI and you are competitors in some sort of action rhythm showdown where the loser will, unfortunately, get electrocuted and die.
There are plenty of songs to play and there are some that are truly devilish, to say the least. So, if you're a fan of action rhythm games, Friday Night Funkin' is one game you don't want to miss out on! Give it a play - it's free-to-play after all!
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
