Hitman vs Ylands
Hitman
Hitman puts a whole new spin on the series, and is considered one of the best stealth games out there. Here you have Agent 47 in a series of new adventures that are bigger and more open than ever before.Rather than 1 full game, you have a series of seasons, each has its own unique location and story blended with the overall plot. Season one sees you working for the ICA once more and sends you to some pretty amazing locations. In these sandbox areas you have over 300 NPC’s to avoid, accost or outright kill. During the season there will be several expansion packs that expand on the area, move you to a new location or give you more of the story. If you purchase the full game these are free, or you can buy them in stages as a season pass. In either case you have an epic experience waiting for you with special unique missions and the ability to make your own contracts. With a change in strategy the developers have made one of the top rated games of the last 2 years.
Ylands
Ylands is a sandbox adventure game that has a gameplay that's a lot like a massively expanded version of Minecraft with a lot more resources for you to gather, items to craft, and amazing things to build. Instead of being "just a game", Ylands is more like a platform, much like Roblox is, where players are given the tools to create whatever worlds or games they like, be it a fun go-kart racing game that's inspired from Lega Racers or even a watery world where epic pirate-themed naval battles can take place. The worlds are completely interactive as well and every action you do will modify, no matter how slightly, the game environment of that segment of the world you happen to be in. In fact, if you change a terrain and populate it with an entirely different diversity of flora and fauna, you can basically change the climate system there.Unlike Minecraft though, Ylands has opted for a more polygonal appearance which gave it the extra leverage it needed to overcome the painful dismissal and degratory label of being simply a "Minecraft clone" - which admittedly, Ylands is most definitely not. The game has so much going for it and players truly have all the freedom within the game's pretty wide parameters to literally create anything they like. Of course, the game also supports sharing, so you can let other players in Yland enjoy that (for example) crazy maze-running game you've just made!
Ylands is most certainly impressive to say the least. However, due to its indie origins, not many players know about the game, let alone buy it on Steam. So, if you really like Minecraft-like sandbox games, you simply must give this game a try, and if you've had a great time there, be sure to recommend it to your friends or even buy it for them as their Christmas/ birthday gift!
