Harvest Moon: Skytree Village vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Harvest Moon: Skytree Village
Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is the latest installment of the popular Harvest Moon game franchise where you get to enjoy some virtual farming in addition to experiencing a fun and exciting adventure. In this game though, you need to help the poor people in Skytree Village to revive their dying land by bringing back the seven legendary Skytrees. Similar to the previous games, you'll get to hop right into creating your ideal farm by terraforming the very land you own and raising a wider variety of animals. Want a break from the backbreaking farm work? You can enjoy a relaxing time in your boat fishing. There are also a whole new cast of characters for you to meet and interact with. Interestingly, you can even woo potential mates, get hitched and start a virtual family of your own.Harvest Moon: Skytree Village has shown how far the game series has evolved from its humble beginnings way back then, and despite the changes made, all of them are done for the better and are well-received by fans of the franchise. If you enjoy farm simulation games with a bit of adventure in them, Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is a great game to play.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
