BioShock vs Secret World Legends
BioShock
BioShock is one of the most highly acclaimed steampunk-themed shooters that has a very interesting twist - your very character's DNA can be modified through the use of a selection of plasmids and a special resource called ADAM, allowing you to have superhuman abilities which will serve you well, sometimes more so than the weapon you wield, in your adventure through the fallen underwater city of Rapture. Aside from the many violent mad men (a.k.a. Splicers), the game also provides players with challeging encounters with the iconic Big Daddies and Little Sisters.When it comes to non-military-styled shooters with an intensely immersive storyline, BioShock is among the handful of the "best of the best" (which includes the Fallout series, the Borderlands series, the Deus Ex series and others). The game boasts of having a rather dark storyline that actually challenges you to think about it in a more in-depth way; to link all the clues together to get the complete narrative that is surprisingly a lot more engaging that you'd expect.
2K Games has just released the remastered version of the very first Bioshock last year and if you can get it on Steam, you really should. The very unique experience it can offer you is very well worth the cost.
Secret World Legends
Secret World Legends is a Lovecraftian-inspired MMORPG that’s very different from any MMO you might have played before in your life. Featuring a unique horror-like approach, the game deals not only in the supernatural, conspiracies and the magical, but also the shadowy world of secret societies set in modern times. The resulting dark and somewhat dreary blend provides the optimal platform for the game’s riveting storyline to be built on. The game is also perhaps the only one to have short yet brilliantly-made cinematics for every important quest you pick up, allowing you to not only immerse yourself further into the story but also appreciate the perfection in the voice acting that was included.Not to mention, Secret World Legends has a completely unique chance-based combat system which allows players to deal additional damage whenever certain criteria are met. There is even an in-depth talent and skills system along with various equipment upgrades for players to customize their character to fit the roles they play in either PvE or PvP.
So, if you’re up for an MMORPG that’s one-of-its-kind, Secret World Legends is definitely the one game you simply must try. It will slowly but surely reel you into its many worlds, plot twists and conspiracies.
