Dynamix vs Journey
Dynamix
Dynamix is the rhythm game to play if you feel that most mobile rhythm games are just too "tame". The game features a rather sophisticated gameplay where the keys will pop up not only from the middle-bottom part of the screen but also from the left and right - the sort of gameplay that will definitely appeal to hardcore rhythm games. Of course, like most rhythm games, they do have some impressive flashy visuals to accompany every tap you make.Despite having anime characters in it, the game features over 205 music and songs from a wide variety of artists in addition to Japanese ones, including over 20 Hong Kong originals (the developers are Hong Kong-based after all), Korean hits, and other popular songs from East Asia. However, note that since the game's a freemium, you may need to spend money to purchase the songs you want to play. The free songs are naturally free to play.
With the increasing popularity of rhythm mobile games, we often feel that Dynamix is a challenging game that is often overlooked due to its slight difficulty, at least at the beginning when you're trying to get used to having keys popping up all over the place. However, it is still a very good rhythm game and is an excellent choice as a tougher alternative to any of the SuperStar titles.
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
