Deus Ex: The Fall vs Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Deus Ex: The Fall
Deus Ex: The Fall is a mobile spin-off (but now it's available on PC, Steam specifically) of the brilliant Deus Ex franchise. However, as you might have expect from a mobile game/port, Deus Ex: The Fall is incredibly basic with very limited controls. You'll still get to play the way you like whether to go into combat head-on or stealthily, but it's just not as exciting or impactful (as claimed).The background for the story in this game is somewhat all right I suppose. The game casts you into the role of Ben Saxon, a former British SAS-turned-mercenary with military-grade augments who is desperate to find out the truth behind the drug conspiracy involving the very drug that all augmented humans need to survive. However, many of the events that are supposed to push the story forward seems to fall short of doing exactly that, making these events rather meaningless. Unlike the non-spin-off games, the decisions you make in the game, however few they may be, doesn't feel important enough either. The game ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger, hinting at a sequel that will probably never come.
Deus Ex: The Fall may be a rather decent for a relatively unknown mobile game, but for a franchise as huge as Deus Ex, this game just seems to disappoint everyone. It's not a free-to-play either so if you saved up to buy this game, you might want to continue to save a bit more to get the other Deus Ex games (not the second game though) instead.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the last chapter where you play as Solid Snake as he pursues his arch nemesis, Liquid Ocelot. Set 5 years after the events in Metal Gear Solid 2. Liquid Ocelot is poised to take control of the world's most powerful AI system, the Sons of the Patriots, and if this happens, all the PMCs worldwide will be in serious trouble.The game has been hailed by many as an epitome of the stealth-based action-adventure game franchise and perhaps one of the greatest games of all time. The gameplay is as epic as ever, and the graphics and sound even more so. The storyline is very well-written and paced as well, giving players the chance to experience a new level of immersion that was previously unheard of.
If you own a PlayStation 3, you might want to give this game a try, especially if you've enjoyed any of the Metal Gear Solid games so far.
