For Honor vs Gigantic
For Honor
For Honor is a team-based, competitive melee brawler where knights, vikings and samurais duke it out on various gorgeously-designed, arena-like battlefields. Unlike many brawlers, however, this game includes some elements of MOBAs and MMOFPS games in it, specifically the presence of normal AI-controlled soldiers (a.k.a. creeps) and also the need to capture several objective points around the map, sometimes with the help of said soldiers, and hold it to earn points for your team.The gameplay is astounding as well. Featuring an intuitive, action-based combat system, the game places a lot of emphasis on knowing your enemy and predicting what they will do as you alternate between blocking your opponent's blows and dishing some of your own. Having situational and battlefield awareness is crucial too, since most of the time, it's better to let an enemy take a capture point rather than getting hemmed in by him and his reinforcements and dying pointlessly in the process.
You also get to customize your characters in For Honor, changing their weapon sets to fit your play style or swapping cooler outfits so you can look good when you deal that final blow. In addition to its multiplayer component, which is frankly the main part of the game, For Honor also features a single-player campaign where you'll get to battle challenging bosses.
Although the game didn't get as rave a review as Ubisoft might have expected, For Honor is still a pretty decent melee brawler with breathtaking graphics, which features the mightiest and most fearless warriors in humanity's brief stint on Earth. The game is a buy-to-play with microtransactions (cosmetics mainly).
Gigantic
Gigantic is a brand-new and unique MOBA-like game that revolutionizes the genre by infusing elements from an RPG, namely a boss fight, with an objective-based gameplay. Unlike other MOBAs, Gigantic will have players fight for the control of their team’s respective power points to gather up enough power to activate their team’s Guardians – the gryphon Leiran for House Aurion and the serpentine Grenn for House Davaedra. With the Guardians’ help, players from both teams will then battle it out in an attempt to wipe out each other’s Guardians and win the match.In addition to its special art style, there are tons of other details in the gameplay that make it very entertaining and competitive to play. The game is also played in the third-person, which offers players more ways to flank and outflank the enemy. Of course, there is a wide range of heroes in this game as well, each has their own set of skills and playstyle that allow players to gain a drastically different gaming experience every time they try new characters. Best yet, everything in the game, including skins, can be purchased using game cash too!
Gigantic had almost become a game that never was, but by some miracle, it finally made it to its release. We couldn’t imagine not being able to experience the game’s fresh and exciting gameplay, and we’re sure many players - fans of the MOBA genre, especially – will feel the same way too.
