Horizon Forbidden West vs Metallic Child
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West lets you join Aloy in the 2nd part of her journey. This time, you will explore the picturesque and majestic yet perilous frontier of the now-ruined city of San Francisco set in the far-flung future. You’ll recognize various landmarks, sunken or otherwise, including the Golden Gate Bridge.As the series heroine, you will investigate the sources of vicious storms and blight, threatening to destroy the land and wipe out the remaining enclaves of humanity and life on Earth itself. Aloy needs to restore balance to the world and uncover the mysteries behind these events. Unfortunately, things aren’t straightforward since she has to contend with new and familiar enemies. You’ll need to deal with snake-like machines, humongous elephants, as well as those that exist underwater. Moreover, hostile human tribes are more advanced since they now mount machines of their own and are capable of controlling combat-class machines bent on destruction. Thankfully, Aloy still has her trusty bow and spear, able to take out enemies using her arsenal of arrows and advanced combat abilities.
Horizon Forbidden West is one of PlayStation’s first exclusives in this new console generation (though it’s compatible with the PS4), and it promises to be another adventure worth undertaking.
Metallic Child
Metallic Child is a sci-fi-themed roguelike action RPG that’s set onboard the space laboratory known as Life Stream. In this game, you play as a human controlling Rona, the very first metallic child created by Dr Irene who’s on a mission to figure out why her creator caused a rebellion and took control of both the other metallic children she has created and also the space lab that housed all of them. Can you defeat all the other metallic children and perhaps convince the good doctor to see the error of her ways?All in all, Metallic Child is a well-made and designed action roguelite with fun hack and slash gameplay, an engaging story, gorgeous anime graphics, and a difficulty level that you can adjust to your own skill level and needs. Don’t let the game’s high-ish price tag put you off! You’ll definitely find a lot of value in this game, especially if you’re already a fan of roguelites and anime. That said, although the game can be played on the good ol’ keyboard and mouse, it’s actually designed for controllers and would play even better if you use them.
