God of War vs Jade Empire
God of War
God of War is a Playstation-exclusive game that casts you into the shoes of Kratos once again. However, this time, after taking his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus, he was given a second chance at fatherhood and that can be quite a tall task especially when the world has gradually become even harsher and unforgiving. With his son Atreus by his side, Kratos will need to teach the young boy all that he will need to know to survive while controlling the rage that had the better of him more times than he could count in the past. Like the previous, this game has a massive and gorgeous open world for you to explore and a thrillingly-visceral close-quarter combat system to do battle with. It features a ton of familiar and new Nordic creatures, some of which are mythical and legendary; and a rewarding progression system which will see the skills of both Kratos and Atreus increase noticeably over time.God of War ensures its players a gritty and grueling, yet somewhat heartwarming gaming experience where you'll get to not only mentor a young boy in the intricate art of war, but also to help Kratos rediscover his fatherly side through the game's powerful storyline. This PS4 game is slated to be released early 2018.
Jade Empire
Jade Empire is a martial arts-themed action RPG where you get the freedom to choose to become either a noble hero or a treacherous villain. The game also provides you with a vast open world to explore and a host of interesting characters to interact with. As you play an aspiring martial arts master, you'll have access to a wide range of nicely-animated fighting moves and styles that you can mix and match. While you increase in your proficiency of the martial arts, your enemies' difficulty level will scale up accoridngly as well, so every battle you engage in will be as challenging as the next despite having better gear and skills.However, being a rather old game, the combat sequences may feel a bit choppy and awkward today. The graphics looks weathered as well. And if you want to play this game for its story, you might want to reconsider. Jade Empire is famous for mainly its cool moves and well-made combat system back then, and having a completely original and immersive plot isn't one of the selling points.
That said, there isn't a lot of oriental-themed RPGs out there and Jade Empire happens to be one of the best ones. If you love martial art games, you might want to try this game out.
