Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Embr
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is supposed to be the Borderlands game that occurs in between Borderlands 1 and 2 as it details Handsome Jack's rise to power and wealth. The game features a pretty similar frantic gameplay to Borderlands 2 with a few major changes - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set in space and on a planet with low gravity and limited oxygen supply. These factors do bump up the difficult of the game by a notch and it is incredibly fun to enjoy the virtually-designed low gravity effect in first person.Like Borderlands 2, this game brings along with it a brand new cast of anti-heroes, each with their own set of special abilities. Interestingly, you get to play the annoyingly amusing (or is it "amusingly annoying"?) little robot - Claptrap - in this pre-sequel too! Of course, being space, you'll get a new line of vehicles to wreak havoc in.
If you're here for the story, then you'll won't find Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel disappointing, but when it comes to its gameplay, it does feel a bit lackluster at times. All in all though, the game bridges the story perfectly and is pretty much a must-buy for fans of the series, but if you're new to the series, it might be best to start with either Borderlands 1 or 2.
Embr
Embr lets anyone become a firefighter - after a short “tutorial”, of course – to earn a little cash on the side. Besides the funny-because-it’s-true jabs at companies like Uber and Grab, the game features hectic first-person co-op action where you rescue your clients from various burning structures, and maybe even steal some stuff to fence since everything’s going up in smoke anyway.If you’re into co-op games, Embr is one game you’ll want to at least try. It offers a kind of hectic co-op fun that’s different from Overcooked, and it comes with so many different game modes too. Of course, the game’s zany humor and ruthless jabs at the gig economy are just the perfect icing on this delicious piece of cake!
