The Pit: Infinity vs Victoria
The Pit: Infinity
The Pit: Infinity is a creepy, sci-fi-themed, first-person shooter/roguelike that’s set in an abandoned laboratory that’s overrun by aliens and monstrous creatures, and the goal here is to descend through the many levels of the facility, clearing out enemies in hopes of finding the source and the cure to a plague that had decimated the population on that very planet. Scavenge for crucial resources, battle increasingly difficult creatures, and find the elevator that will bring you one floor closer to the bottom!However, due to the many bugs and issues with The Pit which made it looked like it's an early access game, The Pit: Infinity is unfortunately not the sort of game I would recommend you to buy – definitely not at full price - due to the huge list of bugs and issues that sorely need fixing, but that is not to say that the game isn’t playable or at all fun. I’ve managed to startle myself a good few times while playing the game and, in a resource management way, the game is actually quite satisfyingly challenging to play.
Definitely a game that you might want to add to your wishlist for now if you love the original and/or the genre, and maybe you could check in now and then to see how much of the game has been patched up over time.
Victoria
Victoria is a horror-themed match-3 adventure game that begins with a tragic story. The protagonist in this game, Victoria Miller, lost her husband and two children in an incident involving an aggressive poltergeist. Driven by her bitter need for revenge, she decided to pick up the ancient art of hunting supernatural beings and track the poltergeist across the United States in hopes of slaying it.At its core, Victoria is a pretty standard match-3 puzzle game where you’ll need to make matches of 3 or more in order to remove the items from the playing area. Most levels require you to clear away blue tiles by matching over them but sometimes, you may be asked to make specific matches in order to use the many weapons that will eventually be available to you against the supernatural creature you’ll be fighting. However, what allows this game to stand out from the usual match-3 games out there is the creepy atmosphere it provides and the occasional jump scares that's intended to give you a solid jolt from time to time.
Overall, when it comes to immersion, Victoria hits the nail on the head. However, despite the supernatural-fighting bits, the gameplay in this game can be rather simplistic, and after some time, rather mundane. That said, considering that true horror-themed match-3 games can be pretty rare, Victoria might just fit snugly into the gaming niche it is obviously designed for.
