Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Silent Hill 3
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.
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3 once again provides you with a brand-new adventure that is filled with the franchise's iconic psychological horror and terrifying gameplay. This time around though, you get to play as a young teenage girl called Heather who was caught in a conflict with the cult at Silent Hill. In the game, you'll get to reveal the mysterious link between the eerie little town and Heather's innermost fears, meet a host of creepy characters that frankly you aren't sure are trustworthy as well as find out the magnet-like pull that Heather felt with Silent Hill.If you're interested in this game, you might want to check out the Silent Hill Re-Mastered Collection which combines Silent Hill 2 and 3 together in one neat package.
