Darksiders vs Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines offers a pretty unique, story-driven, first-person action RPG, partly because it features the exciting theme of vampires - who doesn't love them? - that is set in modern-day Los Angeles; and partly because you get to play as a vampire who has an incredible range of vampiric abilities and special weapons yourself! The cast of characters in this game is pretty amazing and well-fleshed out too.Not many players would know about this but Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is actually based on White Wolf's popular Vampire: The Masquerade pen-and-paper RPG series. So, although this game might be old, you can still be sure to have an amazing time due to the rich and immersive storyline that it is sure to have!
However, if you do plan on getting the game, be sure to grab the unofficial patch and maybe some mods to fix some of the more glaring issues, along with the rather aging graphics, just so you'd have an even better time playing the game.
