Gone Home vs Suburbia 2
Gone Home
Gone Home is a story-rich, point-and-click adventure game where you find your childhood home devoid of life after returning from a year abroad. The mystery of it all sets you off on an investigate mode as you examine clues and uncover what had happened to your family using what they have left behind. The storyline you'll gradually reveal is both heartwarming and incredibly relatable as it touches on a family's struggle with uncertainty, heartache and change.Being a point-and-click adventure, this game doesn't have any puzzles to challenge you or intruders who will attack you on sight. There isn't anything supernatural about the whole event so there's no need to fear looking behind your back or into a mirror. All you need to do is to find and collect clues, and eventually piece together the story of what had happened to your family while you were away.
This is definitely the sort of game that a fan of story-rich games would love. The entire game's premise is centered around its storyline and hence, it's as good as it gets.
Suburbia 2
Suburbia 2 took the series to a new level by providing a different gameplay as compared to the previous game. As opposed to simply reusing the "life simulation" formula, the game puts you into the shoes of an up-and-coming suburbian-based caterer who has just taken over the family business after your uncle, who was managing the company before it was passed on to you, mysteriously disappeared. However, once Liselle, the lady who is temporarily filling in for your uncle also gone missing, you begin to think that life in suburbia might be quite dangerous after all.Overall, the game has a very intriguing, mystery-filled storyline that rivals that of the original game, an interesting cast of characters, and a gameplay that’s quite engaging, but unfortunately, the rather ridiculous waiting times in this game may put a lot of players off. If you plan on giving this game a try, we would highly recommend playing it in small doses rather than spending hours on it at a stretch. That way, you won’t feel as frustrated about the waiting duration, and will actually be able to enjoy the game’s story.
