Bloodborne vs F.E.A.R.
Bloodborne
Bloodborne is a gothic-themed horror action RPG that will send you on a journey to the ancient city of Yharnam that is plagued with a weird infection that not only turns its infectees mad but also twists their form into nightmarish beings. Equipped with an arsenal of melee and ranged weapons, you'll need to use your wits, quick reflexes and strategic thinking to take down these challenging enemies in search of answers that, frankly speaking, you might not even want to ever know.The game also has a rather separate part called the Chalice Dungeons which functions like a dungeon crawler where you can go through a massive, randomly-generated network of underground dungeons that are filled with monsters (common ones and bosses), traps, and of course, the items you seek - valuable items. Many players did not like this aspect of the game though, mainly because the dungeons are incredibly repetitive which encourages brainless farming rather than giving players another form of adventure, and well, the bosses that you slay aren't at all unique and thus, killing them doesn't feel at all impactful.
That said, Bloodborne is still a really amazing game to play. The dark and eerie theme might not suit everone's tastes, but the gameplay is just perfect. Thankfully, the weaker parts of the game (hint: the dungeons) are pretty much avoidable unless you plan on going for the highest difficulty in the game, which in this case, you'll need to farm the dungeons for the items you need.
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R. lets you join the elite First Encounter Assault Recon team, or F.E.A.R. for short, as they are sent into a hostage situation in a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound with only a single goal - eliminate the intruders and rescue the hostages. They were not the first to be sent on the mission though - the special forces which were sent there were massacred as they were literally torn apart by a mysterious force. The mysterious paramilitary force which took the compound in the first place isn't issuing any demands either.This version of the game also contains two DLCs which continue the story where it ended, giving players a better insight into the whole paranormal phenomena that's going on as well as on Armacham Technology Corporation's (ATC) dark past.
If you enjoy a dark and gloomy-themed, narrative-driven action-shooter, F.E.A.R. got you covered. It's the sort of game that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!
