Half Life 2: Episode Two vs Slime Rancher
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2: Episode Two continues the storyline of Half Life 2: Episode One (obviously). Playing once again as Dr Gordon Freeman, you set off from City 17 with Alyx Vance in hopes of delivering crucial information to that's left of your fellow resistance scientists. However, to do so, you'll need to cross the dangerous White Forest while having Combine forces hot on your tail.Featuring new weapons, vehicles, and monstrous creatures, Half Life 2: Episode 2 is definitely able to satisfy the masses of fans who are hooked on one of the world's most popular classic game franchise. However, the game apparently ends with a cliffhanger and that Valve, much to the dismay of their fans, has no intentions of finishing the trilogy. This has sparked a rather huge outroar especially when it was leaked that the storyline for Episode 3 has already been written.
Regardless, this game is still a worthwhile purchase despite its years and the incomplete storyline.
Slime Rancher
Slime Rancher is a pretty unique ranch simulation that's played in a first person view. In this game, you play the role of a futuristic pioneer who has just settled down on a planet filled with slime. Your job, like the gold miners of old, is to collect and ranch these slimes, make sure they are fed with their respective favorite food types, collect the valuable plorts that they spit out, and turn it into some profits!However, not all types of slimes are friendly. In fact, slimes that are friendly can turn hostile -
these are called Tars - simply by combining with multiple plorts from other species of slimes. Tars will gobble up everything nearby be it slimes or food stuff alike. Aside from having a whole new, and alien, world to explore, there are many ways for you to upgrade your ranch as well just so you can unlock new zones and hence, new slime types for your collection.
Slime Rancher is likely the most recent "big thing" among indie games, and although it won't be the last, the game definitely deserves its shot to fame. The game is incredibly easy to get into and once you're in, you'll be completely hooked! If you're looking for a game that's somewhat casual for the weekends, Slime Rancher is the perfect game to play.
