Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs F.E.A.R.
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R. lets you join the elite First Encounter Assault Recon team, or F.E.A.R. for short, as they are sent into a hostage situation in a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound with only a single goal - eliminate the intruders and rescue the hostages. They were not the first to be sent on the mission though - the special forces which were sent there were massacred as they were literally torn apart by a mysterious force. The mysterious paramilitary force which took the compound in the first place isn't issuing any demands either.This version of the game also contains two DLCs which continue the story where it ended, giving players a better insight into the whole paranormal phenomena that's going on as well as on Armacham Technology Corporation's (ATC) dark past.
If you enjoy a dark and gloomy-themed, narrative-driven action-shooter, F.E.A.R. got you covered. It's the sort of game that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!
