Mobius Final Fantasy vs Splendor
Mobius Final Fantasy
Mobius Final Fantasy is a rather enjoyable spin-off from the legendary anime game franchise, Final Fantasy. Playable on both Android and iOS as well as on PC (Steam), the game features a fun yet tactically-infused, turn-based combat system with simple controls that perfectly suit the limitations of mobile devices. Newcomers will find this game a Final Fantasy game that's not only easy to get into in terms of its gameplay but also in terms of its storyline. As opposed to most of the standalone Final Fantasy games which have stories that are inextricably linked to one another, this game plops you into the shoes of the amnesiac protagonist who happens to be the prophesized "Hero of Light"... sounds rather cliche? Well, you're not wrong there. The story in this game can be a bit lackluster unfortunately.Thankfully, the gameplay pretty much makes up for the lacking story, allowing players something good to say about this game. So, if you're hoping to get more epic Final Fantasy story, Mobius Final Fantasy might not be the game you seek, but if you're more into an intense and unique gameplay, then you should really check this game out.
Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
