Gamedec vs Persona 5
Gamedec
Gamedec is a story-driven CRPG in which you play as a game detective, or “gamedec” that's set in a cyberpunk world where people mostly prefer Virtualia (the virtual world) than the real one (a.k.a. Realium). Similar to a private investigator, your job, when hired, is often to solve problems in the many game worlds in Virtualia, most of which can also be linked to issues in Realium, with your unique set of gamedec tools. There are plenty of decisions to make, people to talk to and professions to pick up as you progress through the storyline, revealing one plot twist after another!I truly can’t sing enough praises for Gamedec. The storytelling, the setting, and the immersion here are nothing short of impressive and I just love that there are so many different ways you can go about doing things. The movement controls can be a bit wonky at times, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this game is as good as they come, and well, if you’re into achievements, you can have fun playing through the story again and again, trying out other dialogue choices and maybe even discovering new story branches that you might have missed in your previous run.
Persona 5
Persona 5 is a pretty unique RPG that is based on the thought-provoking, Jungian concept of "self" where people are forced to wear masks to protect their inner self in order to feel some twisted sort of belonging in the current society. Apparently, the protagonist which you will be playing, along with your group of high school classmates/companions, realized that they have the ability to enter people's hearts, help them rip off their masks and confront their vulnerabilities to awaken their inner power which can then be used for the greater good. Dubbed as the Phantom Thieves, these students aim to change the world to their perception and to remove the masks that modern society wears.Persona 5 is the sort of adventure-RPG that seems to be able to really dig into the recesses of your mind and makes you really think about what's really going on in the society today. This is the type of games the modern people need and if you'd like to go on thought-provoking journey, this is definitely the type of game to play.
