Dead Space 3 vs Past Cure
Dead Space 3
Dead Space 3 is the third game in the Dead Space franchise and is the first game to truly improved on the original game design. Unlike its predecessors, this game is now set on the frozen planet of Tau Volantis where you'll need to end the Necromorph plague forever with the help of a ruthless soldier, John Carver. There will be a lot of scavenging involved just os you can craft better weapons and tools as well as customize your existing ones. the game experience in Dead Space 3 is quite different from Dead Space 1 or 2, but the game still retained its "horror" and "thriller" label by making Necromorphs, some of which are a lot deadlier due to rapid evolution, jump at you from every corner and sometimes, from the most unexpected places.Due to the presence of John Carver, you can enjoy the heartpumping experience of Dead Space 3 cooperatively with a friend. This is one of the most unique parts of this sequel and has been met with an overall applause of approval from both fans and critics alike.
Past Cure
Past Cure is a story-driven thriller/adventure game where you play as a Syrian ex-army veteran, Ian, who was kidnapped and subjected to horrific, and very much illegal, scientific experiments. As a result, Ian has gained superhuman mental capabilities, including the ability to conjure astral projections and use mind bashes to destroy objects, in addition to his already intensive military training from being a soldier. However, all of this comes at a terrible cost - Ian's mind is destabilized and only the effects of an experimental yet powerful drug called Blue is able to help him keep his mental demons at bay.Although the game contains game mechanics like shooting, melee combat (boxing) and stealth, Past Cure is still primarily a story-oriented adventure game. Progression here is pretty linear, as most single narrative games are, and there aren't a lot of depth when it comes to its game features, with the sole exception of its intriguing storyline and several puzzle-like scenarios. The atmosphere generated in the game is astounding though! The music, especially during creepy scenes, makes your skin crawl, and the game features plenty of brilliantly edited cutscenes with some cool cinematographic effects.
So, despite the negative reviews on Steam, Past Cure is a really well-made interactive experience, story-wise. However, if you're expecting anything else, such as a hardcore stealth-based game, then you might feel like the game's a huge let-down. At least now you know what you can expect before you purchase the game!
