Hello, Neighbor! vs Thief 2: The Metal Age
Hello, Neighbor!
Hello, Neighbor! is a first-person horror/adventure game where you play a newly moved-in suburbian who noticed that their grumpy and unfriendly neighbor is being all suspicious. Your curiousity got the better of you and you took it upon yourself to play detective, break into your neighbor’s house (hopefully undetected) and find out what’s going on.Now, Hello, Neighbor! is not only a game that's unique because no one has ever done something like this before; the game also has a lot of surprising depth to it especially when it comes to figuring out the best way to break into your neighbor's place without getting caught or when your neighbor made an unexpected detour and you're just seconds from being found out. Not to mention, the AI in this game - your neighbor - actually is quite devious too. It can learn from your previous successful attempts and adapt accordingly. As a result, the game gradually becomes increasingly difficult and unpredictably challenging even for the best players.
Not to mention, it’s not every day you could plot how to break into your neighbor’s home, albeit a virtual one, and actually go and carry it out without having to worry about getting caught trespassing and slapped with a hefty fine. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo out for free.
Thief 2: The Metal Age
Thief 2: The Metal Age is the highly anticipated, award-winning sequel to the incredible, stealth-based game, Thief (now called Thief Gold). This game features 15 new, non-linear and complex levels filled with tons of stuff to steal and guards to outwit. The AI in the game has been drastically improved as well, along with the addition of new tools to use and a compelling storyline set in an alternative world where powerful technologies and fanatical religion streneously co-existed.Despite being a rather old-school game, you can experience why this game franchise has blown up back then. Its stealth-based gameplay is pretty awesome and the plot is the best in the series. It is actually this second installment which had inducted the Thief game series into the coveted games' Hall of Fame!
