Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is the latest installment in the expansive hack-and-slash galore, the Dynasty Warrior franchise. The game recounts the tales of the Romance of hte Three Kingdoms where you get to play as the warrior "Lu Bu". There are plenty of hypothetical scenarios that you can experience in this game, along with new playable characters, weapons, and exciting game modes like the reworked Ambition mode and the brand new Challenge mode. You can also play the game cooperatively though many players have complained of issues that mainly revolves around poor controller support.That said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is still a pretty decent game to add to the franchise, though it might not be comparable to their best installment, Dynasty Warriors 4. If you aim to play this game, you might want to check out the console version rather than the PC port.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
