My Tamagotchi Forever vs Torchlight
My Tamagotchi Forever
My Tamagotchi Forever is a virtual pet game from Bandai Namco that dates back 20 years. Bringing back the joy of keeping an adorable virtual pet on a device that you can carry around with you, this game is set to evoke the same feelings albeit with superior graphics, a wider variety of Tamagotchis to raise, and tons of cute customizations you can apply to your little pet.Taking care of your virtual pet has always been the highlight of the game, and it is no different in this game. To ensure the well-being of your virtual pet, you'll be expected to feed it, give it baths, and even play mini-games with it. You can try tickling it as well! Depending on the care you provide, your Tamagotchi may eventually evolve into very different forms and you may never know what your Tamagotchi may turn into next!
There's also a quaint little town called Tamatown where your Tamagotchi can meet and make friends with the many other game characters. Make memories with them and collect your photos into your album. You can even decorate the town with a variety of colorful items.
My Tamagotchi Forever may prey on your 90s nostalgia but it is done in a good way. After all, we finally got a free-to-play version of Tamagotchi after a 20-year "hiatus"!
Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
