Infinity Blade II vs Ori and the Blind Forest
Infinity Blade II
Infinity Blade II continues the storyline from the previous game by letting you reprise your role as the hero-savior, Siris. Being curiosity-driven, you’ll need to travel across the realm of the Deathless Saydhi to find clues as to unlock the mystery behind the Infinity Blade you now wield. Of course, being Infinity Blade, there will always be tyrants and Titans for you to slay via the game’s excellent action-based combat (now in three new styles) as well as a plethora of weapons to slay them with.The game has also improved on the game’s hallmark character customization, providing you with the option to now forge even more powerful items and infuse them with elemental powers and capabilities. Interestingly, the game has an optional ClashMob app where players can recruit friends to their respective mobs and participate in fun and massively social global challenges to reap amazing rewards.
Infinity Blade II definitely builds on the success of its predecessor and it has managed to do so successfully. A worthy sequel to add to your game library, I’d say!
Ori and the Blind Forest
Ori and the Blind Forest is a rather unique action-platform game that doesn't only feature breathtaking graphics with a special hand-painted art style that could only be called "striking"; it also has a heartwarming story of courage as you join Ori, a young orphaned "guardian spirit", as he travels across the world in search of the creature responsible for destroying his homeland in hopes of possibly saving it. Ori is no mere ordinary spirit though - you'll need to learn and master a variety of abilities to help him overcome any obstacle in his way. There are plenty of secret locations, side stories, and a range of difficulty modes to keep you engaged and playing for hours on end!Complete with brilliant soundtrack to boot, Ori and the Blind Forest proves that a perfect blend of story, graphics and gameplay make a game; and not just big budgets or already established game franchises. Even if you're not into indie games, this is one game you may still want to try.
