Mass Effect 3 vs Verdant Skies
Mass Effect 3
Mass Effect 3 is the last part of the Mass Effect trilogy where you'll be plunged into an epic, all-out intergalactic war in an attempt to take back the Earth from a supposedly unstoppable enemy. The game went all out in this game, flawlessly combining its fantastic interactive storytelling with intense and fast-paced gameplay where the decisions you make will have consequences that you will just have to live with.Similar to the previous games in this trilogy, you'll get to assemble an elite team of soldiers to aid you in your quest and it is entirely up to you, their commander, to decide how to approach a combat situation, be it opting for a frontal assault... Rambo-style, or trying to outwit the enemies by flanking or out-flanking them. Aside from some ranged shooting action, this time, you'll get a powerful omniblade that you can use in close-and-personal encounters with the enemy as well.
Mass Effect 3 provides a great ending to the Mass Effect trilogy, and is a game you should most definitely play if you want to get a complete story from its first game to the last. Thankfully though, BioWare agrees with its fans that it's a pity to just stop producing Mass Effect games and have released their latest game, Mass Effect: Andromeda.
Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
