Ori and the Blind Forest vs Undertale
Ori and the Blind Forest
Ori and the Blind Forest is a rather unique action-platform game that doesn't only feature breathtaking graphics with a special hand-painted art style that could only be called "striking"; it also has a heartwarming story of courage as you join Ori, a young orphaned "guardian spirit", as he travels across the world in search of the creature responsible for destroying his homeland in hopes of possibly saving it. Ori is no mere ordinary spirit though - you'll need to learn and master a variety of abilities to help him overcome any obstacle in his way. There are plenty of secret locations, side stories, and a range of difficulty modes to keep you engaged and playing for hours on end!Complete with brilliant soundtrack to boot, Ori and the Blind Forest proves that a perfect blend of story, graphics and gameplay make a game; and not just big budgets or already established game franchises. Even if you're not into indie games, this is one game you may still want to try.
Undertale
Undertale is a rather unique RPG mainly because unlike most RPG which "encourages and promotes" violence, this game strives to be different; to be better by allowing you to use whatever persuasive skills you have to negotiate out of danger. Considering that the game is set in an underground world full of monsters, this is something you'll need to pretty often, but of course, if you want to do some killing, you can still do so. As it's not exactly the focus point of the game, the combat system is fairly simple and yet decent. It mainly revolves around accurately timing your attacks and dodges.Undertale also boasts of having an immersive storyline and a host of characters which you can either slay (you murderer!) or make friends with. Heck, according to the game, you can even date a skeleton... an all-bones, no-flesh skeleton!
Undertale definitely gives its players a really nice and unique perspective on the RPG genre. The game's alternative, non-violent paths also make you really think before you start hacking and slashing at the supposedly enemy, making every kill that you think is necessary carries a certain weight. Sounds like a game you'd like to try? Then, you definitely should check it out.
