Free Realms vs Griefhelm
Free Realms
Free Realms is a child-friendly 3D virtual world game by Sony Entertainment where you can meet and chat with new friends, explore the beautiful world and possibly discover hidden secrets, as well as enjoy a mini-game or two competitively with other players in the game and climb up the leaderboard with your best high score. You are even given a virtual home in this game that you can then customize and organize a party in.Unfortunately, Free Realms is currently available on the Playstation platform, and although there is an unofficial PC reboot coming soon, it's still in its alpha phase and may take a while to finally be launched to the public. However, you might want to check out our list of similar games in the meantime.
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
