High School Life vs Love Island: The Game
High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
Love Island: The Game
Love Island: The Game is a romance-themed interactive story that is quite similar to Episode - Choose Your Story andChapters - Interactive Stories in terms of its gameplay. Inspired by ITV's hit reality TV show, Love Island, this game will put you into the shoes of one of the hot ladies, letting you choose your own smoking hot dates and create your own drama. Like the other games in the genre, you can customize your avatar's looks as well from time to time just so you can unlock the best possible plot for your character.
The only complaint that many players have voiced is that the diamonds that are needed to purchase unique clothes to open up new dialogue choices or to skip the waiting time in between parts of the story can be very difficult to earn as a free-to-play player. Expect to spend some real money on this game if you want to enjoy the best plotline of the game.
