Dark Souls: Prepare to Die vs Divinity: Original Sin 2
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die is one of the scariest and hardcore action role-playing game that's set in a dark fantasy world filled with demons, monsters, and even dragons. Unlike most games where dying is heavily penalized, this game actually lets you use every one of your deaths as a stepping stone to learn the where to avoid and where to press on... so expect to die... a lot. Sometimes, the deaths of the other players - their spirits, so to speak - will also show up in your game so you can learn from their mistakes before you atttempt a challenging part of the game.By playing, you'll be able to improve your mastery over weapons, spells, and other combat mechanics which will in turn help you progress and access tougher challenges. This Prepare to Die edition also features new mechanics, including Bonfires which serve as check points and will replenish your health and magic but at a pretty heavy cost - all the mobs you've killed will respawn. Dark Souls is a networked game and as such, you may bump into other players while dungeon crawling which may result in an impromptu PvP battle, or you can also work together with other players to take down difficult bosses.
Dark Souls have earned a name of itself for being incredibly punishing - there will be a lot of dying - and for being creepy as af, but it is also a game that's pretty unique, and to some extent, revolutionary since many of the game mechanics present in this game isn't even heard of let alone used in any other games.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the best most recent classic adventure-RPGs. In this game, you can play as one of six races. In fact, you can create very odd characters, such as a flesh-eating Elf for example, and discover how the world react to you. The game also features the same exciting party-based gameplay where you can forge closer ties with your companions and work with them to use whatever advantage you get, including working the environment to your favor, during one of the game's many turn-based battles. You can play the game with up to 4 players online to enjoy a split-screen multiplayer for even more fun.Divinity: Original Sin 2 is also very encouraging of mods and the mod community in general due to the support added to the game which allows players to easily find fan-made mods that they like as well as to create mods of their own. This definitely adds at least a couple tens of hours on top of what already is a pretty lengthy game.
