Insurgency vs N.O.V.A. 3
Insurgency
Insurgency is, without a doubt, the best game to play if realism is a key criterion for you when choosing your first-person shooters. Unlike other tactical shooters, there is no cross-hairs to help you (just sights) or the bullet-soaking feature that so many games use. In fact, with a well-aimed shot, which in itself can be a pretty difficult feat at times, you can easily take down an opponent even if the fella has body armor. The realism doesn't even stop at the gameplay - the game even provides realistic gun sounds which will allow real-life gun aficionados to differentiate the different types of guns simply by listening to the fire. Your loadout can also be upgraded but each upgrade you make will have realistic effect on your weight, stamina and movement speed. So, you'll need to choose upgrades depending on which aspect you are willing to sacrifice.The game, however, is a fully multiplayer game. It features over 7 PvP multiplayer game modes as well as 5 unique co-op multiplayer modes. That said, if you fancy getting some practice before diving into some actual PvP, you can play the game with bots offline in any of the multiplayer modes you like. The game even has an in-built, squad-based 3D VOIP system that only allows for nearby players, both friendly and opposing, to hear you.
It is rare to find realistic shooters anymore nowadays, but Insurgency aims to change that. With incredible graphics and a painstakingly-detailed and realistic gameplay, it is an impressive first-person shooter.
N.O.V.A. 3
N.O.V.A. 3 continues the exciting story from the previous game four months after Kal Wardin defeated the Volterites. This time around though, the President of the human coalition has been assassinated and in a rather rash decision, most of the colonies have surrendered to the Volterite Protectorate. Kal tried to keep out of the issue but he feels the need to head back into all the action to save mankind and a restored but now war-torn Earth yet again.With even more to offer, N.O.V.A. 3 is truly a step up from its predecessors. There are more weapons for you to play with, larger multiplayer battles you can dive into, and more varied multiplayer modes. There is even voice chat (for certain devices only) for players to communicate more effectively, allowing players to coordinate better on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, N.O.V.A. 3 is not available on GooglePlay despite being available on iOS and Windows phones. So, if you happen to be an Android user, you might want to check out our list of alternative games or just play N.O.V.A. Legacy.
