Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Silent Hill 4: The Room
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 4: The Room
Silent Hill 4: The Room is the fourth and final installment of the main Silent Hill series (that is made by the original Silent Hill team). In this game, you play as Henry Townshend who found himself locked in his apartment that happened to be cursed by a malevolent evil. Due to this, strange stuff began to happen not only to him but also to the other residents in the apartment, teleporting him to a variety of different areas like a forest, a prison and even a hotel, and throwing tons of unimaginable creatures and the undead to stop his (and your) progress as he sought to escape from the hellish nightmare he seemed to be trapped in. However, as he overcame challenges after challenges, he may eventually find out the truth behind all of these.Silent Hill 4: The Room is an excellent end to a franchise that was so greatly loved by many. However, that's not the end though. The game has been picked up by another team and more Silent Hill may still be produced.
