Deus Ex: The Fall vs Watch Dogs
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.
Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs is the sort of game that's not only fun to play but also give us an insight of a potentially dystopian future. This game slips you into the shoes of hacker extraordinaire, Aiden Pierce, whose criminal past had finally caught up to him, resulting in a terrible family tragedy. Now, he's on the hunt for the culprits behind it all and he has the Chicago's city network and its wealth of information in the palm of his hands. There are over 30 different weapons for you to use along with more than 65 vehicles to explore the massive city in. The choices you make in the game will also affect the virtual environment and the people around you, possibly even creating an unexpected ripple effect. This game is a multiplayer game as well, providing players with cooperative gameplay or an open world multiplayer action.Watch Dogs is one of the best new game series to have emerged with a fresh new game concept and fun game mechanics to play with. If you think you'd enjoy hackng and shooting all rolled into a single game, then you will definitely enjoy playing Watch Dogs.
