Inscryption vs Path of Exile
Inscryption
Inscryption is turning out to be one of the biggest surprise hits of 2021, and it’s no surprise as to why. This roguelike card game blends deep deck-building elements merged with escape room puzzles and psychological horror. Paired with its rather unique and terrifying art style, it provides a gaming experience that just can’t be compared with anything else.The game is composed of three acts; one and three are card battlers, while the 2nd is a pixel-art, top-down RPG. You will be able to grow and strengthen your deck throughout your adventures. However, to get this done, you’ll need to go head-to-head against bosses and other opponents, taking part in highly-contested card battles. Don’t be intimidated by its status as a card game: it’s relatively simple to play yet has a certain depth to it.
Inscryption further impresses via its overall art direction. Every aspect, ranging from the environment to the card designs, looks like it can give even those with strong hearts the goosebumps. In addition, its story revolves around the card game and provides a feeling of both mystery and madness.
All in all, Inscryption is undoubtedly something both card game enthusiasts and those who love the thrill of horror experiences should dive into. Give it a shot and experience a card game horror story you never thought you’d ever encounter.
Path of Exile
Path of Exile is a game come true for fans of the dungeon-crawling MMO genre, much like Drakensang Online. However, this game has a much more similar theme to the dark and brooding tone set by the Diablo series as opposed to the more lighthearted tone in the Torchlight series. Like most dungeon crawlers, the gameplay in Path of Exile is pretty much a straight-up hack-and-slash but interestingly, the character you play has a variety of passive and active abilities that provide players with the freedom to create whatever build they like. Of course, these builds and the players' skills will be put to the test when they attempt to take on an epic boss which if defeated, will shower their group with plenty of amazing loot.Another interesting aspect in Path of Exile is its robust and thriving player-driven economy. Similar to Diablo 3's albeit failed auction system in some way, players who raid often can sell any loot they don't need on the market rather than a mere AI vendor usually at a marked-up price. Other players who don't have that much time to raid but money aplenty can then spend the necessary amount to buy the stuff they need.
Path of Exile is definitely the sort of free-to-play game fans of Diablo, or any dungeon crawler game really, will love to play. If you happen to be one of them, then what are you waiting for? Try the game now!
