Dishonored vs Victoria
Dishonored
Dishonored is one of the most highly acclaimed, first-person action-stealth game that puts you into the role of a supernatural assassin set in a city, Dunwall, where somehow technology and the paranormal collide. Unbeknown to you, the cost of your supernatural abilities that had made you into one of the most efficient assassins ever is incredibly high and once the cost is made known, you can't help but feel betrayed and hence, your path to exacting your vengeance on the dark forces who gave you these powers begins.The gameplay in Dishonored is amazingly free-form - you can approach each assassination your way as long as they are stealthy enough to keep you alive. Aside from your new-found ability to possess any living creature and stop time itself, you can use distractions and the pockets of darkness to your advantage as well. Interestingly, your chosen way to kill will affect the world around you and the outcomes of your missions will also change as a result. There are plenty of ways for you to customize your character to fit your play style too.
Since its release, Dishonored has garnered a massive amount of approval from fans and critics alike. After all, it has managed to provide a stealth-based game that's not only unique but also incredibly immersive and addictive to play. If you enjoy stealth games with a bit of extra mystique, this is definitely the game to buy!
Victoria
Victoria is a horror-themed match-3 adventure game that begins with a tragic story. The protagonist in this game, Victoria Miller, lost her husband and two children in an incident involving an aggressive poltergeist. Driven by her bitter need for revenge, she decided to pick up the ancient art of hunting supernatural beings and track the poltergeist across the United States in hopes of slaying it.At its core, Victoria is a pretty standard match-3 puzzle game where you’ll need to make matches of 3 or more in order to remove the items from the playing area. Most levels require you to clear away blue tiles by matching over them but sometimes, you may be asked to make specific matches in order to use the many weapons that will eventually be available to you against the supernatural creature you’ll be fighting. However, what allows this game to stand out from the usual match-3 games out there is the creepy atmosphere it provides and the occasional jump scares that's intended to give you a solid jolt from time to time.
Overall, when it comes to immersion, Victoria hits the nail on the head. However, despite the supernatural-fighting bits, the gameplay in this game can be rather simplistic, and after some time, rather mundane. That said, considering that true horror-themed match-3 games can be pretty rare, Victoria might just fit snugly into the gaming niche it is obviously designed for.
