Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes vs Wasteland 2
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is the highly anticipated fifth installment of the popular Metal Gear Solid game fracnhise and best yet, this is the first MGS title to offer complete gameplay freedom through its open world design. It still thankfully retains the best bits of its series, such as its stealth-heavy gameplay (but of course, you can opt to go in guns blazing if you wish), and an exciting central story mode along with plenty of side-ops missions. The player interface has been reworked as well to provide a more clutter-free design. Let's not forget about the game's incredibly immersive graphics and sound.Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is an excellent sequel to an excellent game series. However, if you're thinking - holy hell, they've made a PC version? Well, you should really know that the PC version is simply like a buy-to-play demo consisting of one map, one main mission along with 5 side missions, and 2 difficulty levels. Due to this, you might want to get the playstation version (full-game) instead.
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 is the exciting sequel to the legendary Wasteland 1. However, unlike the text-heavy original, this new game provides an incredibly-polished, turn-based strategic gameplay that will bring to mind games like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. You'll also get to reprise your role as the enigmatic leader of the Desert Ranger squad and assemble a team that can handle a wide range of weapons and preferably people with personalities which you can work with. Thankfully, it's nice that the game actually lets you customize the personality traits of your squad aside from customizing their looks and their loadouts.Like the previous game, the storyline is heavily based on your decisions and the consequences that came out of these decisions, some of which may even change the lives of the characters in the game. Wasteland is also a bit more tactical than its predecessor, allowing you to tactically maim your enemies to slow them down, for example. You can even kick down or stealthily pick the lock on doors if you don't feel like going on a hunt for the key.
With so many accolades and praises under its belt, Wasteland 2 proved that an age-old franchise can be revived with critical success. inXile Entertainment and their massive Kickstarter community definitely deserved a huge pat in the back for bringing Wasteland back for the younger generation to experience.
