Max Payne vs Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Max Payne
Max Payne is one of the first third-person action shooter game that feature a heartbreaking storyline where Agent 47, the protagonist that you'll be playing as, attempts to hunt down the people who have slain his family (a wife and a baby girl) while trying to deal with the crushing grief that came with the loss. At the expanse of your character, the game puts a refreshing twist to the usual explosive action that 007 or any other secret agent film that had come out from Hollywood.In addition to the incredibly immersive storyline where you actually feel for the protagonist and his struggle with his grief, the gameplay in Max Payne is groundbreaking as well. Max happens to also be on the run for a murder he did not commit, and being a man with only one thing - vengeance - to lose, you'll need to help him fend off both the cops and the mob alike using the game's stylish slow-motion gunplay.
Max Payne is the first game of its kind to give players a dark and twisted storyline that's worthy of more than just a single movie. If you love shooter games and you enjoy a mystery thriller, than Max Payne is definitely the game for you.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is the highly anticipated sequel to the brilliant, story-driven role-playing adventure game. As opposed to continuing the previous game's storyline (not that the first game ended on a cliffhanger or anything), the game sets off on an entirely different yet equally story-driven route by narrating the adventures of a young king, Evan, who was overthrown in a coup but still aspires to establish a new kingdom of his own. There will be an whole new cast of characters to meet and interact with in this journey and eventually, you will need to, together with Evan, confront the dark forces that threaten the good people of the world.Ni No Kuni 2 certainly outdid itself this time around! In fact, the game is so incredibly immersive to the point where you sometimes forget that this is actually a game and not an anime movie, especially considering how well the outstanding visuals and music blended together. This is a game that fans of story-driven gameplay would greatly enjoy!
