God of War vs SMITE
God of War
God of War is a Playstation-exclusive game that casts you into the shoes of Kratos once again. However, this time, after taking his vengeance against the Gods of Olympus, he was given a second chance at fatherhood and that can be quite a tall task especially when the world has gradually become even harsher and unforgiving. With his son Atreus by his side, Kratos will need to teach the young boy all that he will need to know to survive while controlling the rage that had the better of him more times than he could count in the past. Like the previous, this game has a massive and gorgeous open world for you to explore and a thrillingly-visceral close-quarter combat system to do battle with. It features a ton of familiar and new Nordic creatures, some of which are mythical and legendary; and a rewarding progression system which will see the skills of both Kratos and Atreus increase noticeably over time.God of War ensures its players a gritty and grueling, yet somewhat heartwarming gaming experience where you'll get to not only mentor a young boy in the intricate art of war, but also to help Kratos rediscover his fatherly side through the game's powerful storyline. This PS4 game is slated to be released early 2018.
SMITE
SMITE is a competitive and rather popular (ranked around 3rd worldwide), mythological MOBA game that stands out from all the other MOBA games as players in this game battle it out in a unique third person view. In fact, despite being fundamentally the same tower-pushing gameplay, the entire gaming experience is very different as well mainly due to its controls, the group sharing of experience points and gold, as well as the way you do combat. Instead of the common incessant clicking, players will get to play their characters through the usual RPG controls in a somewhat action-based combat.The game also retains most of the old MOBA elements such as having an in-match item shop, a wide array of gods to play as along with unlockable skins depending on your god's rank, and a three-laned map. But it does change things up by making the game a bit friendlier to newcomers by having a recommendation system for puchasing in-match items.
SMITE may not be very unique in this day and age especially considering the large number of MOBA games, but back when it was released, the game was quite revolutionary. Even if you prefer the old-school MOBA gameplay, we'd recommend trying this game just to experience the MOBA genre in a whole new way.
