Foopets vs Northgard
Foopets
Foopets is an amazingly realistic, free-to-play pet simulator that you can play directly from your browser. Although you'll start off with a random pet, you'll eventually be able to adopt the pets (onloy dogs and cats for now though) you actaully want, be it a Tabby or a Husky. Your virtual pet on Foopets is almost like having a real pet in many ways. You'll need to take it out for walks at least once per day, and of course you'll also need to feed and bath it regularly, shower it with your love (and treats), and buy toys to play with it. The best part about this game though is definitely the realistic reactions that you get from your pets.So, if you have always longed for an actual pet but you can't possibly have one due to whatever reasons, Foopets will be able to fill in that gap and give you a beautiful and adorable fluffy virtual companion to love. You'll love it!
Northgard
Northgard is a rather unique city-builder/strategy game that allows you to lead a group of Northmen to unknown new shores in hopes of making a life there. Like most city-building games, you'll need to help them set up a home, assign your Vikings to perform various roles, ensure there is enough food to feed the entire village, and amass a small army to help defend your territories from other hostile clans. The strategic aspects of the game may not be obvious at first but you'll quickly realize that new territories that you discover (you don't exactly need to conquer it for this to work) will present new strategic opportunities for your clan to expand or grow, be it new sources for food or a nice place to set up a new trading post. There are many victory conditions as well, so it's not always "kill or be killed" in this game.Northgard offers players a single player experience by playing with AIs with various personalities or with their friends online. However, many players have reported that the game does have a somewhat flawed AI-player relationship. Even if you're best buddies with an AI's clan through healthy trading relationships, their clan members will still attack your people, which frankly feels a lot like a betrayal. It'd be nice to have a tutorial as well.
That said though, Northgard is an impressive game especially if you enjoy a bit of city-builder/strategy game like Valhalla Hills.
