BlockStar Planet vs MapleStory 2
BlockStar Planet
BlockStar Planet (previously known as RoboBlast Planet) is in some way a game that resembles other popular kid-friendly sandbox games like Roblox or Minecraft. However, unlike those games, BlockStar Planet has a more sci-fi, futuristic theme - a theme that can be obviously seen in the character customization aspect of the gameplay.Being a sandbox game, you can unleash your creativity and create magnificent worlds for other players to play in or to simply explore and enjoy. If creating worlds is not your thing, you can even have fun playing parkour or blast futuristic guns at each other in the many existing worlds available.
It is also a virtual world game as well, and hence, the game places a strong emphasis on socializing and adding new friends. The game has strict chatting rules though, so if you're a parent looking for a fun game for your young kid, this game is as safe as it can be for your child to play in. After all, thbe game was developed by the same people behind the virtual world game, Movie Star Planet
So, if you're looking for a Roblox-like game for your kid or for yourself, BlockStar Planet is a pretty great alternative. You can play the game directly on your browser or on your mobile devices.
MapleStory 2
MapleStory 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to the popular 2D side-scrolling MMORPG/virtual world game, MapleStory. However, this game is almost unrecognisable as "MapleStory" due to the massive changes (some positive, some.... well, not so much) done to the game. For starters, the game is fully in 3D now and it adopted a voxel-based style which is similar to Portal Knights and Trove. The game is also more customizable than ever, allowing players to not only build their own homes in the game; they can also design outfits and gear for their characters. Of course, you will still be able to change your character's looks, such as changing ther hairstyle and color, as well.Despite all the outer and some internal changes, the game's core remained unchanged - it is still a social virtual world-like MMO game where players can just relax by taking a dip in their outdoor pool if they tire of adventures and monster slaying. They can even drop by a friend's place and just to hang out.
MapleStory 2 is definitely not simply a "copy-paste" version of the original. Instead, the developers have given the game and the franchise new life by adapting the game to the tastes of the current generation of gamers. It is still not available worldwide despite being touted as "globally released", but most countries should be able to access it by now. If your country is covered, you might want to give the game a try!
