Soul Calibur vs Ylands
Soul Calibur
Soul Calibur is a pretty generic casual MMORPG that you can play directly on your browser. In this game, you’ll play as one of four heroes who set off to save the world. As you battle various monsters and bosses, you’ll gain the materials you need to enhance your gear, improve your companions, and even bolster your stats. There are tons of PvE and PvP events for you to enjoy, and you can also join forces with the other players in your clan to take down formidable foes.For a game that’s in its Alpha development stage, Soul Calibur is a pretty decent browser MMO, but when it comes to uniqueness, well, let’s just say that Soul Calibur won’t be winning any prizes. Anyway, if casual MMOs are your thing, then, you might want to check this game out. After all, the world is just about to be overrun by monsters and you, being the wielder of the powerful soul calibur, are the people’s only hope!
Ylands
Ylands is a sandbox adventure game that has a gameplay that's a lot like a massively expanded version of Minecraft with a lot more resources for you to gather, items to craft, and amazing things to build. Instead of being "just a game", Ylands is more like a platform, much like Roblox is, where players are given the tools to create whatever worlds or games they like, be it a fun go-kart racing game that's inspired from Lega Racers or even a watery world where epic pirate-themed naval battles can take place. The worlds are completely interactive as well and every action you do will modify, no matter how slightly, the game environment of that segment of the world you happen to be in. In fact, if you change a terrain and populate it with an entirely different diversity of flora and fauna, you can basically change the climate system there.Unlike Minecraft though, Ylands has opted for a more polygonal appearance which gave it the extra leverage it needed to overcome the painful dismissal and degratory label of being simply a "Minecraft clone" - which admittedly, Ylands is most definitely not. The game has so much going for it and players truly have all the freedom within the game's pretty wide parameters to literally create anything they like. Of course, the game also supports sharing, so you can let other players in Yland enjoy that (for example) crazy maze-running game you've just made!
Ylands is most certainly impressive to say the least. However, due to its indie origins, not many players know about the game, let alone buy it on Steam. So, if you really like Minecraft-like sandbox games, you simply must give this game a try, and if you've had a great time there, be sure to recommend it to your friends or even buy it for them as their Christmas/ birthday gift!
