Bastion vs Neverwinter Nights 2
Bastion
Bastion is a very unique action RPG that is so different from any other RPGs you might have played before mainly because the game provides you with your very own personal narrator who will reactively narrate your every move and action, resulting in a deeper and much more personal story to be crafted as you progress in your adventure. The brilliant hand-painted graphics and the melodious soundtrack in this game is astounding too, allowing you to be fully immersed in the bright and cheery-looking world despite being shattered into pieces by an almost apocalyptic event called the Calamity.The gameplay in Bastion is most definitely not the hack-and-slash sort. Instead, the game rewards you for approaching your battles with finesse rather than recklessness. To make your character stronger and able to take on tougher enemies, there are plenty of weapons you can loot and upgrade as well. Best yet, you can even discover up to 6 different Bastion structures and that the game has plenty of varied game modes for you to enjoy.
Bastion is an RPG very unlike any other we, and possibly you, have ever experienced before. The game has a really fascinating way of approaching its storytelling aspect and that alone is enough to make the game a must-buy for many players. But if the storyline isn't something you emphasize on, then you might want to grab the game for its gameplay instead.
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2 is the brilliant sequel to the first Neverwinter Nights. This time around, you'll be playing as a farmer-turned-hero who set off on a quest to defeat the King of Shadows. Although the original campaign may be a tad bit cliche, the game truly shines once you get into the first expansion where you'll gain a unique spirit-eating mechanic that will affect your gameplay and change the path of your narrative. Not to mention, like the first game, Neverwinter Nights 2 has been endowed with loads of player-made mods and hence, adventures that you can explore at your leisure, adding to what is already a worthwhile purchase. The game even has an improved toolset which allow players to host their own solo or multiplayer adventures that they can also share to other players.However, being a pretty old game, there will definitely be bugs and glitches that you will have to content with along the way, but overall, Neverwinter Nights 2 can guarantee hundreds and maybe thousands of hours of gameplay (with mods), making it worth every cent you spent on it.
