Planet Explorers vs Star Wars: The Old Republic
Planet Explorers
Planet Explorers is an exploration-driven, sci-fi-themed sandbox RPG where you play as one of the several pioneers who made it to the new planet, Maria… well, barely since you crashed landed on the planet. Here, you’ll need to work with your fellow pioneers to build a life and a colony for yourselves.This game is nothing short of amazing for a completely free-to-play title. Its crafting system is incredibly convenient for the player and despite the grind, gathering resources from the environment can be quite a relaxing endeavor, all thanks to the beautiful music and the immersive ambiance. Besides crafting and gathering materials like wood, rubber, and minerals, you can also hunt the local fauna for animal-based items like meat and animal fat which are needed to craft certain items. You can even tame these creatures and turn them into mounts!
Planet Explorers also comes with a rather nice storyline, an MMO-like questing system, sandbox features which allow you to build magnificent structures similar, in some ways, to Minecraft; and even build your own custom vehicles from scratch and take it out for a spin by driving around the massive map in this game.
Although the game seems to fall short of its potential of being a pretty darn great MMO game because the developers done messed up the codes, Planet Explorers still manages to offer a rather decent single-player experience. Plus, the game's completely free to play now and it doesn't contain any of those annoying ads or micro-transactions since the game was not built that way. Definitely worth a try!
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic is simply an amazing Star Wars-themed MMORPG where you get to dive into the constant conflict between the Sith and the Jedis of the Galactic Republic. Choose a side and one from the the four different classes available to begin your journey as either a Sith or a Jedi. The depth in the gameplay is brilliant as well. You'll get to customize and improve your own character through a variety of ways. You can then test out your build and strength in a PvE or a PvP setting. The best (and trickiest) part though is its storyline... and this game nails it somehow. Fans of Star Wars will be glad to know that the plot fits perfectly into the franchise.All in all, Star Wars: The Old Republic has a lot going for it and is a game that not onyl fans of Star Wars should play. If you enjoy playing MMORPGs, you should definitely check this game out.
