BioShock Infinite vs Vanquish
BioShock Infinite
BioShock Infinite is the last sequel of the BioShock series and is possibly the best one (or worst, depending on which side of the coin you are at) yet. The game is set in a gorgeous and populated city (at least at the beginning) in the sky called Columbia that unfortunately is not as cheery it apparently seems. The gameplay is quite different too since you'll have access to the city's many ziplines via special grappling hooks called Sky-Hooks, tears in the fabrics of time that you can exploit during combat to pull in aid in the form of turrets, weapons and other resources; as well as more Vigors.Not many people like this version of BioShock for their own reasons, but everyone can agree that for what it's worth, this game shouldn't be the end of the BioShock series... but that was what happened. So, if you're a fan of the franchise, this game is definitely a must-buy, just so you can enjoy the unique flavor of your favorite series one last time... and also to get your mind blown to pieces figuratively when you eventually realize how well the story is rounded up with that rather befuddling ending.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
