Baldur's Gate vs The Good Life
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an age-old RPG/dungeon crawler that has captivated the hearts of many. Originally released back in 1998, Baldur’s Gate is possibly the very first RPG that has paved the way to the emergence of some of the more modern titles like the Dungeon & Dragons computer game franchise. The game is played in a pretty much team-based fashion where you will get to recruit heroes to your team and lead them into dungeons and other dangerous places in the Sword Coast to fight a wide variety of monsters in hopes of getting more loot... and of course the truth behind the sinister forces that are at work fuelling the tension that is about to break into an all-out war.This enhanced edition of the game also include a nice upgrade to its graphics (but don't expect visuals like The Witcher 3 though) and over 400 tweaks to improve the game experience overall. It also contain new adventures, characters and voice acting for the characters. The game even added in multiplayer support so you can play this game with your friends online!
Baldur's Gate is possibly the "father of all modern RPGs" and if you're curious how this timeless RPG can give birth to other epic RPGs or if you're simply nostalgic, you can get the game at a modest price on Steam and on your mobile devices.
The Good Life
The Good Life is a 3D adventure RPG featuring quests to complete, a mystery to unravel, and also a person speeding away in a highly advanced wheelchair that you can’t seem to catch up to. In this game, you play as a rather snobbish photographer from New York who’s in a massive amount of debt and the only way out is for you to complete this mysterious assignment you’re sent on – to discover why a sleepy little town is known as “the happiest town in the world”.As you play, you’ll unlock a feature that allows Naomi to change form. Without giving away too many spoilers, just know that by “changing forms”, Naomi will be able to reach areas she wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise, allowing her to uncover clues that will help in her investigation. The forms will also give her the chance to collect certain materials that she’ll need to complete quests.
The highlight of the game, however, is definitely its photography aspect. If you’ve enjoyed games where the goal is to simply capture nature at its best, then you’ll love the camera action here. Not only can you upgrade your camera (its lens specifically) to allow for more variety of shots, you actually need to rely on your photo-taking skills to earn a living in this game.
The Good Life is a pretty fun and charming adventure RPG with an interesting story to follow. The game’s easy enough for even young children to enjoy, though the protagonist, Naomi, might not make the best role model.
