My Time at Portia vs Prince of Persia
My Time at Portia
My Time at Portia is a charming fantasy-themed adventure RPG that is set on a gorgeous, revitalized world after a post-apocalyptic event wiped out the previous technologically-advanced civilization. In this game, you play as an up-and-coming Builder, a respected role in society, whose sole purpose is to help solve the town's problems by engineering a solution.With a gameplay which may fondly remind you of games like Harvest Moon, My Time at Portia may be grindy in an RPG sort of way (think repeated dungeon runs or resource-harvesting), but the game has a nice relaxing pace, where its quests (both main and side quests) are slowly revealed as you progress. Being a Builder, you can also complete a commission request daily to collect some cash. The game also features an elaborate gifting/relationship-building system, fun ruin-diving areas, tons of interesting characters to meet, and challenging dungeons. You can even romance and eventually marry an NPC (not all though) you like!
The best part of the game is definitely its in-depth crafting system. There are tons of machines you can build to help you generate a wide variety of materials to build other stuff. You can also unlock new machine technologies via the Research Center.
My Time at Portia feels a lot like an adorable MMORPG minus the MMO part. It has the grind, the dungeon runs... but of course, this game places a lot more emphasis on its resource-collecting, as well as crafting and building aspects. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, despite still being in early access, the first chapter of the game is already ready and bugs-free, so if you do buy the game, know that you can at least get a good 40 hours or so out of it.
Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia is the whole new action-adventure game inspired by the highly acclaimed platform game of the same name. The game has been upgraded to fit with modern times and tastes - it features a brand new Prince, a non-linear storyline which unfolds , a vast open world for you to explore, various acrobatics, combat styles and skill sets, and even a helpful new AI-controlled ally who possess magical powers, Elika. Prince of Persia is realized in a rather unique art style that makes its illustrations look almost comic-like, much like the graphics in the Borderlands series.Prince of Persia is definitely not the same as its classic counterpart though it does retain many of the core concepts which had made the latter such a hit among gamers back then. The game plays out a lot like Assassin's Creed or any other parkour-oriented games so if you enjoy this sort of games, you'll love Prince of Persia.
