Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery vs The Room
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is a story-driven, “choose your own adventure”-like, adventure-RPG where you get to attend the renowned School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Featuring a whole new storyline but with many familiar characters, you'll get to learn how to cast spells and brew potions, make new friends (and rivals) along the way, and get drawn to the many mysteries that the ancient school hides within its depths. The game even backs up your own adventures with an intriguing story about your missing brother who apparently was expelled as he had broken school rules when he was searching for the fabled Cursed Vaults.The gameplay is pretty casual and straightforward for the most part - as long as you have enough energy points, you can complete actions, tasks, and subsequently quests. However, it's unfortunate that the game doesn't use a more reflex-based gameplay during intense scenes that obviously call for more rapid actions. This is the only thing that truly breaks the immersion of the game.
Nevertheless, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is still a very well-made game and it is worth playing for the visuals, the experience of being an "actual" Hogwarts student, and the mystery-infused storyline. The game is free to play and is available on both Android and iOS.
The Room
The Room is an epic puzzle adventure game that will truly put your brain on the treadmill. Set in a world filled with bizarre inventions and gadgets, you'll follow a trail of clues as you try to "fix" various devices using the hints you've gathered - most of which are hidden in plain sight and yet can be incredibly difficult to spot. Although the graphics isn't top-notch, considering how far graphics has come, the soundtracks managed to redeem this little downside by providing players with the perfect mysterious atmosphere to be utterly immersed in as they solve the puzzles.If you're up for a brain teasing game, The Room is one of the best games you can get. It's not only challenging enough to play, it also has nice feeling to it. Do check it out!
