Metallic Child vs Papers Please
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.
Papers Please
Papers Please is a pretty dark, story-rich, point and click game where you're sole and yet most difficult job as an immigration officer is to approve or deny a throng of people, some of which are good but of course there will be smugglers, spies and terrorists, entering into your country of Arstotzka from the war-devastated neighbor, Kolechia. Thankfully, you'll have some information at hand to help you make your decision. There are lie-detectors, documents, fingerprints, inspections and other primitive methods along with, of course, a series of questions and follow-up questions that you can ask.Your every decision will determine the lives of those who go through your immigration booth and enter Arstotzka as well as for those who were turned back to eke out a living in a war-torn country. Your morality and empathy will be greatly tested in this game.
Papers Please is among one of the most impactful games of, perhaps, all time. The game is simple enough for anyone to get into and yet it challenges your very beliefs, your concepts and your morality as you stamp those immigration papers with the words "Approved" or "Denied". If you are looking for a thought-provoking game, Papers Please is just perfect for you.
