This War of Mine vs Trash Sailors
This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
Trash Sailors
Trash Sailors is a quirky co-op game that’s set in a world that’s flooded by a sea of trash. In this game, you can choose to go at it alone or with up to 3 friends as you sail through the dangerous trash-filled seas, fishing out trash to be used as scraps to fix your raft or as fuel to power the outboard engine. After all, mankind has been throwing rubbish into the ocean for ages and Mother Nature is out for revenge! You can even upgrade your raft by collecting bolts, and also unlock new characters as you play.In a nutshell, Trash Sailors may not be the next “Overcooked”, but it has some memorable art, an interesting setting and theme, as well as a fun and unique gameplay that can be enjoyed either alone or with friends – though, frankly speaking, the game is definitely miles better with friends.
