Choices: Stories You Play vs Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Choices: Stories You Play
Choices: Stories You Play is a choice-based collection of episodic stories that mostly consists of player-driven content and is quite similar to another game, Episode - Choose Your Story. In this game, you'll get to play out various stories via fun character animations and brilliant story choices. From the among the choices provided though, there are these special choices that are obviously the one to pick if you want a guaranteed positive outcome but will cost you diamonds. Like Episode, you won't be able to play multiple stories in a day since there's a limit, but if you're willing to pay real money, you can circumvent this restriction as well.In many ways, including the one aforementioned, this game is literally a clone of Episode (or vice versa depending on which app launches first). The only major differences between both games would probably be their content (the stories) and maybe the graphics (specifically the art style)... both of which are preferable in Choices.
If you can't put down Episode, you'll then enjoy playing Choices. Both games are incredibly similar even to the naked eye and you don't really need a website algorithm to tell you that Episode is the closest similar game you'll ever find for Choices.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is a story-driven, “choose your own adventure”-like, adventure-RPG where you get to attend the renowned School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Featuring a whole new storyline but with many familiar characters, you'll get to learn how to cast spells and brew potions, make new friends (and rivals) along the way, and get drawn to the many mysteries that the ancient school hides within its depths. The game even backs up your own adventures with an intriguing story about your missing brother who apparently was expelled as he had broken school rules when he was searching for the fabled Cursed Vaults.The gameplay is pretty casual and straightforward for the most part - as long as you have enough energy points, you can complete actions, tasks, and subsequently quests. However, it's unfortunate that the game doesn't use a more reflex-based gameplay during intense scenes that obviously call for more rapid actions. This is the only thing that truly breaks the immersion of the game.
Nevertheless, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is still a very well-made game and it is worth playing for the visuals, the experience of being an "actual" Hogwarts student, and the mystery-infused storyline. The game is free to play and is available on both Android and iOS.
