BioShock 2 vs Paradise Killer
BioShock 2
BioShock 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular BioShock game where you are thrown yet again back to the watery depths of Rapture but this time in the boots of the most iconic character of the BioShock franchise, the Big Daddy. The game also one-ups the previous game by introducing a more challenging opponent, Big Sisters, and another well-crafted and highly-acclaimed storyline that is as equally tragic as the last. In terms of gameplay, the game now allows players to dual wield a combination of plasmids, weapons or both.This time around the game also has a multiplayer option with unique multiplayer scenarios for players to experience and enjoy, including the opportunity to be involved in Rapture's civil war which had turned it into the creepy city that it is in the first game.
BioShock 2 retained most of what made the franchise so popular in the first place and yet added plenty more new features to change up the gameplay and appease its loyal and hardcore fans. This is a game that is highly recommended only after you've experienced the first BioShock game... seriously, don't jump the sequence!
Paradise Killer
Paradise Killer is an open-world murder-mystery game featuring visual novel-style storytelling, fun puzzles to enjoy, clues to track down, colorful characters to interrogate, and a gruesome mass murder of the council members of the Syndicate to solve. In this game, you play as the sole Investigator on Paradise Island, Lady Love Dies, and your own freedom hangs on the line as you hunt down every detail about the case.Paradise Killer is a blend of adventure and visual novel, featuring a storyline that’s just filled to the brim with mystery. As mentioned, the game starts off with a bang – the mass murder of Council Members as the Syndicate made ready to migrate from the current Paradise Island of #24 to what is dubbed as the Perfect 25.
Since the game is basically set in an entire dimension, Paradise Killer is very generous with every possible detail you might be curious about the game world as well as the many wacky and quirky characters that live in it. You can find out a lot of stuff – you are playing as a dutiful investigator, Lady Love Dies, after all! – by tracking down clues, finding hidden notes, and sometimes, simply by making friends and talking to them when their guard is down.
Being an adventure game that’s just filled with hidden stuff to find, the game also hides a whole lot of useful items in the most unsuspecting places, such as in cabinets that you can open or on apartment floors that aren’t as easily accessible. However, being as close to a god as you can be in Paradise Island, you can survive some impressive falls in this game so go hog wild and try to leap off buildings just to access some location with some hidden loot.
Without a doubt, Paradise Killer is in a class of its own! Yes, it is essentially an adventure game with visual novel elements and a strong investigative theme much like Ace Attorney (though you aren’t playing as a lawyer in this game), but it manages to bring all of these elements together and couple it with some truly impressive world-building to create a world that looks and feels mind-blowing to the player.
