Half Life vs Profane
Half Life
Half Life is the first game in the famous Half Life series that has gained a certain amount of infamy among gamers mainly because Valve has refused their fans' request to create a Half Life 3. That being said, the game itself is pretty old - released back in 1998 - and it was a shining gem of a game back in its time because of its amaing gameplay and engaging storyline. Unlike any other games in the 90s, Half Life manages to combine action and adventure along with a what-was-back-then a realistic world into one amazing package. The game also has a multiplayer mode that turns the game's many maps into arenas for you to play against your friends.Half Life is one of "those games" that almost every gamer (midcore and above) would at least have heard of before. It's as classic as classic games go. If you enjoy old-school games, Half Life is probably one of the first few games you'd want to play.
Profane
Profane is a hardcore bullet-hell game where you’ll battle challenging bosses in arenas in hopes of finding the source of the corruption that has gripped your tribe and cleansing it to save your people. The game has a pretty high skill ceiling and can be quite unforgiving but this makes every victory you earn so much sweeter!An aptly-titled game for sure, since the game can be relentless and punishing, which may or may not result in blurting out some form of profanity as you play, Profane is a game that is as relentlessly punishing as it is hardcore. Besides the high skill ceiling, the somewhat confusing storyline, and the not-ideal default controls for keyboard and mouse players, the game is exceptionally well-made, has some pretty cool graphics and animations, and features a ton -and I do mean a ton- of unique bosses that will definitely challenge you.
So, if you love playing bullet-hells and would like a challenge, Profane is one game you’ll want to keep your eye on!
