Destiny vs Griefhelm
Destiny
Destiny is a console-exclusive FPS/RPG that features a brilliant combination of cinematic storytelling in addition to cooperative and competitive gameplay that will see players banding together to take down challenging bosses or engage in some arena-like PvP. Set in our own solar system way in the future, the game also has a vast persistent online world in campaign mode for you to explore alone or with friends. Destiny provides players with a wide variety of customization and upgrade options as well, allowing you to craft every aspect of how your character look and fight.Destiny has been one of the most critically acclaimed, consoles-only games of the century. The game has the addictiveness of modern MMORPGs as well as the depth that rivals that of Skyrim, albeit set in an aging solar system. If you happen to own a PlLaystation or an Xbox, this is one game you'll want to add to your library.
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
