Fable 3 vs Past Cure
Fable 3
Fable 3 is, unfortunately, the last RPG in the franchise and it goes out with a bang. In this game, you'll not play as a mere random adventurer but instead, you get to become so much more - the leader of a revolution to take control of Albion and defend it from a relentless threat! As a ruler, your every choice will have a more drastic impact on the virtual world you'll be playing in, as well as on your subjects.Fable 3 was previously available on PC via Steam, but somehow, the game was taken offline and now is only available on Xbox, to the dismay of many fans worldwide. However, if you do own an Xbox, you might want to get this game as well, especially if you're a fan of the series.
Past Cure
Past Cure is a story-driven thriller/adventure game where you play as a Syrian ex-army veteran, Ian, who was kidnapped and subjected to horrific, and very much illegal, scientific experiments. As a result, Ian has gained superhuman mental capabilities, including the ability to conjure astral projections and use mind bashes to destroy objects, in addition to his already intensive military training from being a soldier. However, all of this comes at a terrible cost - Ian's mind is destabilized and only the effects of an experimental yet powerful drug called Blue is able to help him keep his mental demons at bay.Although the game contains game mechanics like shooting, melee combat (boxing) and stealth, Past Cure is still primarily a story-oriented adventure game. Progression here is pretty linear, as most single narrative games are, and there aren't a lot of depth when it comes to its game features, with the sole exception of its intriguing storyline and several puzzle-like scenarios. The atmosphere generated in the game is astounding though! The music, especially during creepy scenes, makes your skin crawl, and the game features plenty of brilliantly edited cutscenes with some cool cinematographic effects.
So, despite the negative reviews on Steam, Past Cure is a really well-made interactive experience, story-wise. However, if you're expecting anything else, such as a hardcore stealth-based game, then you might feel like the game's a huge let-down. At least now you know what you can expect before you purchase the game!
