Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Little Nightmares
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.
Little Nightmares
Little Nightmares is a dark and atmospheric puzzle-adventure game that has a rather nice Tim Burton style and vibe, as well as a really deep story that will force you to figure it out by making connections between the many symbolisms in the game. In this game, you play as a yellow-hooded child called Six who happened to be trapped in a nightmare called the Maw. You'll need to help Six escape from the terrifying place at any cost!Little Nightmares has a really amazing feeling overall, but it has quite a number of flaws. The controls for instance is incredibly clunky, resulting in more deaths than necessary frankly. The game's autosave points are too rare and far in between, making the game rather frustrating to play at times. Of course, the most important of all, the game has a fairly short adventure and thus, the price it is asking for might just be a bit too expensive. But if you do want to try this game, you may want to buy the game during a promotion.
