Dragon Age Inquisition vs My Time at Portia
Dragon Age Inquisition
Dragon Age Inquisition is the third installment of the critically acclaimed choice-driven RPG series, Dragon Age. Set in the troubled land of Thedas, you play as the Inquisitor who is tasked to save the world from itself, but there are many other factors in play, such as a massive demonic invastion and faction war that makes you job a whole lot more difficult. Of course, you will have to make many critical and sometimes morally ambiguous decisions that will change the storyline and set in motion a series of other events, resulting in very different outcomes.Similar to its previous games, you'll lead a band of champions who you can issue individual orders for via the game's incredibly useful pause function. Interestingly, you now can see the whole battelfield from a god's eye vantage point while paused, but if this is not for you, you can try your luck by simply diving into battle. The game also has a vast open world for you to explore along with many hidden secrets for you to find.
Dragon Age Inquisition is an excellent sequel to the series but unfortunately, it didn't get the accolades it so richly deserved mainly because the game was released within the year where The Witcher 3 came out. That said, if you have enjoyed the previous Dragon Age games, then you'll definitely love this one. If you are looking to get into the series, then heed our advice and start with the first game. You'll grow to appreciate the little things that the developers have put into the game. crossbows blazing.
My Time at Portia
My Time at Portia is a charming fantasy-themed adventure RPG that is set on a gorgeous, revitalized world after a post-apocalyptic event wiped out the previous technologically-advanced civilization. In this game, you play as an up-and-coming Builder, a respected role in society, whose sole purpose is to help solve the town's problems by engineering a solution.With a gameplay which may fondly remind you of games like Harvest Moon, My Time at Portia may be grindy in an RPG sort of way (think repeated dungeon runs or resource-harvesting), but the game has a nice relaxing pace, where its quests (both main and side quests) are slowly revealed as you progress. Being a Builder, you can also complete a commission request daily to collect some cash. The game also features an elaborate gifting/relationship-building system, fun ruin-diving areas, tons of interesting characters to meet, and challenging dungeons. You can even romance and eventually marry an NPC (not all though) you like!
The best part of the game is definitely its in-depth crafting system. There are tons of machines you can build to help you generate a wide variety of materials to build other stuff. You can also unlock new machine technologies via the Research Center.
My Time at Portia feels a lot like an adorable MMORPG minus the MMO part. It has the grind, the dungeon runs... but of course, this game places a lot more emphasis on its resource-collecting, as well as crafting and building aspects. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, despite still being in early access, the first chapter of the game is already ready and bugs-free, so if you do buy the game, know that you can at least get a good 40 hours or so out of it.
