Dragon Age 2 vs Ori and the Blind Forest
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 2 puts you into the shoes of Hawke, a refugee who happens to be incredibly apt at fighting, as he/she (you get to choose which) attempts to escape from the darkspawn-filled realm of Felderen in hopes of becoming the Champion of Kirkwall. Similar to its original game, the game is utterly oozing in a rich and cinematic-infused storyline that will have you making crucial decisions based on your gut instincts, careful deliberations or simply your emotions which may drastically change the path of your narrative, resulting in very different endings.Being a party-based game, the decisions you make may also affect your companions' personal opinion of you and naturally, the better relationship you have with your companion, the more dialogue options you'll open up. The characters in this game is as colorful as its predecessor too, each with their own unique set of quirks and personalities. The combat system is also greatly improved so the transition between paused "planning mode" and the exciting action is smoother than before.
Dragon Age 2 is an epic sequel to the series and is a must-buy for fans of the game. For those who are looking to get into the game, we'd recommend starting with Dragon Age: Origins just so you can truly appreciate the amount of attention to detail that this game has when it comes to its lore.
Ori and the Blind Forest
Ori and the Blind Forest is a rather unique action-platform game that doesn't only feature breathtaking graphics with a special hand-painted art style that could only be called "striking"; it also has a heartwarming story of courage as you join Ori, a young orphaned "guardian spirit", as he travels across the world in search of the creature responsible for destroying his homeland in hopes of possibly saving it. Ori is no mere ordinary spirit though - you'll need to learn and master a variety of abilities to help him overcome any obstacle in his way. There are plenty of secret locations, side stories, and a range of difficulty modes to keep you engaged and playing for hours on end!Complete with brilliant soundtrack to boot, Ori and the Blind Forest proves that a perfect blend of story, graphics and gameplay make a game; and not just big budgets or already established game franchises. Even if you're not into indie games, this is one game you may still want to try.
