The Blockheads vs Tomb Raider
The Blockheads
The Blockheads is the game to play if you want to play a sandbox/survival game that's almost the same as Minecraft but with a whole lot more crafting.Featuring an isometric 2D look, the Blockheads is a game where you can venture off into the world to explore and possibly discover hidden treasures. You can also collect blocks, craft, and build almost everything you can see in the game through the game's many upgradable workbenches. The game even allows you to go fishing and open a shop so you can sell your wares. However, like Minecraft, there are dangers lurking at every corner so you may need to be vigilant and get a weapon as soon as you can.
Interestingly, unlike Minecraft, you actually need to take care of your Blockhead. This means making sure he or she gets enough rest or they will perform the actions you ask of them at a much slower speed. There are also hunger and happiness levels so be sure you keep an eye on that.
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider (the 2013 version) has been touted by many as the best Tomb Raider of all time. The game doesn't only introduce a series of exciting changes to the usual adventure-based gameplay including a fun survival element, which will see you salvage resources to upgrade Lara's tools and weapons, a ton of much improved puzzles, incredibly intuitive combat and a wide range of mysterious tombs to explore. The game even includes a new multiplayer game mode which will allow you to work as a team to sruvive either as Lara's Shipmates or Yamatai's Scavengers.Best of all, the game has a really heartwarming and intense origin story about how Lara had to adapt to her circumstances and become the hardened survivor that you know today.
If you are a fan of Lara Croft or even if you're simply looking to get into the franchise, this is definitely the game to play.
