Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Max Payne
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.
Max Payne
Max Payne is one of the first third-person action shooter game that feature a heartbreaking storyline where Agent 47, the protagonist that you'll be playing as, attempts to hunt down the people who have slain his family (a wife and a baby girl) while trying to deal with the crushing grief that came with the loss. At the expanse of your character, the game puts a refreshing twist to the usual explosive action that 007 or any other secret agent film that had come out from Hollywood.In addition to the incredibly immersive storyline where you actually feel for the protagonist and his struggle with his grief, the gameplay in Max Payne is groundbreaking as well. Max happens to also be on the run for a murder he did not commit, and being a man with only one thing - vengeance - to lose, you'll need to help him fend off both the cops and the mob alike using the game's stylish slow-motion gunplay.
Max Payne is the first game of its kind to give players a dark and twisted storyline that's worthy of more than just a single movie. If you love shooter games and you enjoy a mystery thriller, than Max Payne is definitely the game for you.
