Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Yakuza 0
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost Chapters is one of the most groundbreaking adventure RPG back in the day. Why was it so unique? Well, the game is designed with one major concept in mind - your every action in the game, including which dialogue options you chose and even how you treat people, will affect your reputation, which in turn will change the skills you have access to and also your character's appearance (like a reverse Dorian Gray) as he ages or collect scars from battling enemies. So, in other words, the character development is beyond impressive. The game doesn't really penalize you for your actions though, but there are consequences for every good or bad actions that you do and these consequences will affect the world around you, giving you the sort of freedom that was pretty much unheard of back then.In some way, Fable can be regarded as a legend-creator - a game in which you can literally craft your own legend by forging your own path. It also has a rather whimsical tone to it, making the adventures you embark on fun and lighthearted. Of course, there are plenty of exciting storylines to uncover and hidden secrets for you to find as well.
Fable is one of the most popular RPG series of all time and if you love RPGs, this is definitely one game you'll want to get (or maybe you can get the Fable Anniversary Edition instead - despite its flaws, it does have better graphics).
Yakuza 0
Yakuza 0 is a gang-themed action-adventure RPG that draws plenty of comparison to game series like GTA or Mafia. The game is set in the 1988 in the largest cities in Japan, Tokyo and Osaka, where you’ll be playing as Kazuma Kiryu is your run-of-the-mill debt collector who messed up, resulting in the death of his mark. Obviously, you’ll soon find yourself on the run and you’ll need all your wits and fighting skills with you if you are to survive the thugs and lowlifes that are hot on your trail.The atmosphere in Yakuza 0 is simply unmistakably the 80s, with neon-lights everywhere and the sound of cabaret ringing out throughout the streets. This is probably the best part about the game, aside from its intense gameplay. So, if you think this is the game for you, well, you can buy the game on the PlayStation 4 online store.
