Friday the 13th: The Game vs Victoria
Friday the 13th: The Game
Friday the 13th: The Game is a truly terrifying third-person horror-survival game that is based on the popular horror movie, Friday the 13th. In this game, you get to play as the terror himself, Jason Voorhees, or even as one of the teen counselors. Naturally, depending on the role you play, your objective in the game would be very quite the polar opposite. Jason however has access to a range of unique abilities with will allow him to track, hunt and kill his prey, while what you'll have as a counselor is your group of six equally unlucky people.Friday the 13th: The Game not only lets you play as a survivor trying to escape from Jason, but it also lets you play as one of the most prolific killers in cinema history. If this sounds appealing to you, you will definitely want to grab the game and a couple of friends to play the game with.
Victoria
Victoria is a horror-themed match-3 adventure game that begins with a tragic story. The protagonist in this game, Victoria Miller, lost her husband and two children in an incident involving an aggressive poltergeist. Driven by her bitter need for revenge, she decided to pick up the ancient art of hunting supernatural beings and track the poltergeist across the United States in hopes of slaying it.At its core, Victoria is a pretty standard match-3 puzzle game where you’ll need to make matches of 3 or more in order to remove the items from the playing area. Most levels require you to clear away blue tiles by matching over them but sometimes, you may be asked to make specific matches in order to use the many weapons that will eventually be available to you against the supernatural creature you’ll be fighting. However, what allows this game to stand out from the usual match-3 games out there is the creepy atmosphere it provides and the occasional jump scares that's intended to give you a solid jolt from time to time.
Overall, when it comes to immersion, Victoria hits the nail on the head. However, despite the supernatural-fighting bits, the gameplay in this game can be rather simplistic, and after some time, rather mundane. That said, considering that true horror-themed match-3 games can be pretty rare, Victoria might just fit snugly into the gaming niche it is obviously designed for.
