Tomb Raider: Underworld vs Word Crossy
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Tomb Raider: Underworld is a rather unique iteration of the age-old favorite action-adventure series featuring the fearless adventurer, Lara Croft. The game retained the franchise's love for intriguing puzzles and yet, it provided a ton of improvements in terms of adding in a dual-target system, non-linear puzzles (puzzles with multiple solutions), new abilities and tools, as well as a cool all-terrain hybrid motorbike.At the time of writing, Tomb Raider: Underworld would be celebrating its 10th anniversary next year, and as such, the game's graphics isn't exactly up to today's standards. The gameplay may feel rather clunky to some as well. However, if you really want to experience a more recent Tomb Raider that stayed true to the old puzzle-heavy format, this is the game to play.
Word Crossy
Word Crossy , despite being simply another clone of Word Cookies, seem to have really hit it off with the wordies on the mobile platform. In fact, the game has risen so much in popularity that multiple word games using the "Word Crossy" name in their titles have popped up. You might find it a bit hard to find this actual original game among the noise, so here's a tip - this game was developed by Word Find.In terms of gameplay, you basically will be forming words needed to solve each level by simply swiping the letters to chain them up. There is no time limit whatsoever so you can take your time finding all the words. There is also free shuffles and useful hints that you can buy. The game boasts of having more than 300 levels for you to enjoy as well, but the most interesting part about all of this is that, purportedly, the difficulty of each puzzle changes intelligently based on your personal progress.
Visuals-wise, the game looks as great as Wordscapes, but it's good to note that Word Crossy offers players with varied background themes to choose from. This is a fun feature to have, and it does help break the monotony after you've been playing the game for hours on end.
Word Crossy may be a "clone" but it is still able to provide you with the kind of word puzzle game experience that you may have enjoyed from playing Word Cookies or any other of its clones.
