Life is Strange vs Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag
Life is Strange
Life is Strange is an episodic graphic adventure game where you'll get to follow the story of Max Caulfield, a photography student at Blackwell Academy who accidentally discovers she can rewind time when she stumbled upon a murder scene in the academy's bathroom. Soon after, she hooked up with her new friend, Chloe Price, in an attempt to use her gift to solve a string of disappearances around the town of Arcadia Bay.Featuring an incredibly engaging story that has multiple endings depending on the choices you make, the game doesn't only perfectly presents its characters' personalities, but also touches on the so-called butterfly effect that time reversals will cause. The game is also filled with brilliant indie soundtracks that enhance the overall game experience, further immersing you into its story.
Life is Strange can be purchased on Steam and is available in 5 episodes in total. There is also another expansion, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, that's coming soon. You can try its First Episode demo for free as well!
Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag
Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag is a rather unique mobile MMORPG that follows the popular anime and light novel series of the same name, Sword Art Online. In this game, you'll be playing as a low-level Kirito and will be attempting to escape from the VR MMORPG that you are trapped in by going through all 100 floors of the Aincrad castle. Aside from its storyline, the majority of its characters are also based off from the actual anime series, including all the original voice actors. Best yet, you can actually recruit these familiar characters to your team of heroes through a fun gacha-like system before heading off to battle both AI enemies and other human players alike. After all, in this game, your team's survival is the only thing that matters!That said, the most unique part about this game is that the game interestingly combines elements from a standard 2D side-scrolling action game with all the complexities and nuances of a casual role-playing game, which results in a one-of-a-kind gaming experience that fans of SAO and/or RPGs can really get behind. If you love SAO or maybe mobile MMORPGs in general, you'll definitely enjoy playing this game.
