Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Dark Souls 3. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

You probably have an idea of the kind of storytelling dark souls games have, but I will explain it here again. Dark Souls games want you to discover the story on your own through reading item descriptions and talking to NPCs and even if you do all that you will probably understand 50% of what’s going on, the other 50% is theory crafting.

Both Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Dark Souls 3 follow this kind of storytelling, though I have to say I prefer the story of Dark Souls 2 a little more. That’s just personal opinion though, and I can’t recommend one game over the other based on the story.

Gameplay

Even though both games are from the same franchise and Dark Souls 3 is the sequel to Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, I believe as far as combat goes, Dark Souls 2 has a better combat system than Dark Souls 3 and more specifically the system that Dark Souls 2 has that is far better than Dark Souls 3 is the dual-wielding.

The dual-wielding system is truly amazing in Dark Souls 2. It very intuitive and the fact that you can use different kinds of weapons and the only limit is that they have to have the same types of attacks is truly amazing.

The power-stance is also very well implemented. It’s too bad that they decided to scrap this system in Dark Souls 3.

Besides this system, the games play the same when it comes to combat, but this system is by no means something minor, it is a very important system that can severely impact your experience if you want to dual-wield weapons.

As for the weapons, both games have a huge variety of weapons you can use and this extends to armors and other equipment also. One additional thing that I feel the need to address is the death punishment system that Dark Souls 2 has.

You see Dark Souls 2 has a unique mechanic that doesn’t exist in any other Dark Souls games. Each time you die the maximum HP bar you have available is reduced by a percentage and if you die a lot of times your max HP can drop to 50%(there is a ring that can increase the minimum percentage that your HP can drop to 70%) of the original. The only way to restore the maximum HP to the one that you are supposed to have based on your stats is to consume an item.

This system gives more difficulty to the game since those consumables that you can use to restore your max HP aren’t so easy to get that you can just use them whenever you feel like it. You have to somewhat adjust your playstyle so that you don’t die so often and use those consumables only when it’s necessary for your progression.

Both games have a lot of variety when it comes to mobs and bosses, though Dark Souls 2 has more bosses for you to fight.

Lastly, if you want the more challenging game then Dark Souls 2 is more challenging because of the HP system I mentioned above. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin also has more content and it will take longer to complete. As for the replayability, both games are at the same level.

Visuals

Since Dark Souls 3 came out later it has better visuals overall but the difference isn’t big and it’s not worth considering when you are deciding which of these two games to pick.

Dark Souls 2 has somewhat better scenery than Dark Souls 3, but that’s because of the story.

When it comes to customization, neither game has an equipment transmogrification system and for those of you that don’t know what this is, it basically means that you are able to change the appearance of all your equipment and keep the stats.

Even though neither game has this system, I believe Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has better customization because the armors that are available in this game look a lot better than the armors available in Dark Souls 3.

Visually I believe Dark Soul 2: Scholar of the First Sin is the better choice, even though Dark Souls 3 has better graphics.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, both games have stories that are around the same level of quality and you can’t really say that one game’s story is better than the others.

Second, when it comes to gameplay I believe the combat system of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is superior compared to the combat of Dark Souls 3 and that is because of the dual-wielding system Dark Souls 2 has.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin also has more content and is more challenging than Dark Souls 3.

Finally when it comes to visuals Dark Souls 3 has better graphics, but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has better-looking armors.

Whichever game you choose I recommend waiting for sale because they are pretty old.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and The Surge 2. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

When it comes to story Jedi Fallen Order wins, and it’s a clear win. The story of Jedi Fallen Order is more interesting and impactful. The Surge 2 tells its story through audio logs mostly and it didn’t make me care one bit about what was going on.

Jedi Fallen Order makes you care about the story and its characters. The characters in Surge 2 feel bland and uninteresting.

If you want a game that will make you care about the story then Jedi Fallen Order is the best choice.

Gameplay

Jedi Fallen Order and Surge 2 differ in the way they approach combat.

In Jedi Fallen Order you can use your force powers to end fights quickly and you can also use parry similar to Sekiro. In Surge 2 on the other hand you have to decide which of the body parts you are going to focus your attacks on.

Jedi Fallen Order has only two kinds of weapons available, the lightsaber and the dual-blade lightsaber. Surge 2 offers a variety of weapons with different abilities and movesets.

Now that doesn’t necessarily mean that Surge 2 is better just because it has more weapons to choose. It all comes down to personal preferences.

Besides the variety of weapons, Surge 2 has a variety of armors for you to equip. Jedi Fallen doesn’t offer armor sets for you to use.

As for the enemies, both games have a variety of enemies though Surge 2 has a little more variety when it comes to enemies.

When it comes to bosses I still prefer Surge 2, because most bosses in Jedi Last Order felt uninteresting to me.

Both games have around the same difficulty which for me isn’t something special. They weren’t that challenging most of the time.

Lastly, Surge 2 has way more replayability since it has a variety of weapons and builds that you can try.

Visuals

Visually Jedi Fallen Order is absolutely stunning. Surge 2 doesn’t even come close to how good Jedi Fallen Order looks. The scenery and locations look amazing and make the experience even more immersive.

Surge 2 has good graphics but they can’t stand against Jedi Fallen Order’s graphics.

As for the customization, Surge 2 offers a character creation system but it’s very limited and doesn’t give you a lot of options. Jedi Fallen Order doesn’t have a character creation system, but you can unlock different outfit colors in the game by finding them in boxes in the game, and you can also customize every part of your lightsaber.

With this I can say they are pretty much equal in customization.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the story then the best choice is Jedi Fallen Order by far. Second, if you prefer playing with a lightsaber and forces powers for the entire game than having a variety of weapons and armors then Jedi Fallen Order is the game for you.

If you want interesting bosses and more variety in enemies, and a lot of replayability then Surge 2 is the best choice.

Lastly, if you want amazing visuals then you should pick Jedi Fallen Order and the customization is around the same level in both games.

I don’t recommend getting either game in full price, so you should wait for sale in my opinion.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and The Surge 2. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

I believe when it comes to story Sekiro is the clear winner. The story of Sekiro is deeper and a lot more impactful. The Surge 2 tells its story through audio logs mostly and it didn’t make me care one bit about what was going on.

Sekiro makes you care about the story and it even has multiple endings(one of them is the true ending).

If you want a game that will make you care about the story then Sekiro is the best choice.

Gameplay

Sekiro and The Surge 2 have a lot of differences when it comes to the way the game wants you to approach combat.

In Sekiro you are forced to stay on the attack since when you stop attacking the enemy recovers his posture and you have to start all over again. I believe this mechanic makes the fights more interesting since you can’t cheese your way through bosses.

The combat in Surge 2 is quite different. In Surge 2 you have to choose which part of the enemy’s body you want to focus your attacks, since they may have an armor part that you want, and the only way to get it is to do enough damage to that part of the body and then cut it out. Of course, you can choose to attack another part of the body that hasn’t armor equipped and that will make the faster a lot easier, but you won’t get any benefit from it besides beating the enemy faster.

Both combat systems have their own benefits and it comes down to what you think is best since no one can say that one system is objectively better than the other.

As for the equipment you have available, in Surge 2 there are a lot of different weapons and armor you can choose and they have different benefits. In Sekiro, you can only use the katana as the main weapon, but you also have some shinobi tools that you can use(they have ammo so you can’t use them infinitely).

Both enemies have a variety of enemies, so you won’t be facing the same enemies over and over again, but when it comes to bosses Sekiro is the clear winner since the boss fights are a lot more fun and entertaining in Sekiro, and the bosses are more unique.

Finally, Sekiro is a lot harder than Surge 2, especially if you activate the Demon Bell which makes the game even harder. Sekiro also has more bosses for you to fight. Surge 2 wins though when it comes to replayability since there are a lot of different builds that you can try. Sekiro has 4 endings so there is that for replayability but besides this and the option to not take Kuro’s charm in ng+(which will make the game even harder), there isn’t anything else changing in the other playthroughs.

Visuals

The visuals of both games are great but I have to say that I prefer Sekiro since it has some absolutely stunning locations. Surge 2 is limited by the story of the game, so it can’t show locations as beautiful as in Sekiro.

As for the customization, I would have said The Surge 2 has a lot more customization than Sekiro but soon(with the update of Sekiro in October) this is about to change since Sekiro will have other outfits available.

So at the end of the day the customization of both games is around the same level.

Final Thoughts

The things I want you to keep from this article are the following.

First, if you want a deep story that will make you care for what is going on then Sekiro is the best choice in my opinion.

As for the gameplay, Sekiro has only one weapon available(a katana) while on Surge 2 you can pick different weapons.

The variety in enemies is more or less the same in both games, but Sekiro has more interesting bosses.

Sekiro is also more challenging and has more bosses for you to fight, but it has less replayability since there aren’t many different builds that you can try like in Surge 2.

Lastly Sekiro has better visuals, but and the customization is more or less the same in both games.

Whichever game you choose, I recommend waiting for a sale, but personally I believe Sekiro is worth getting even without sale(though that is a personal opinion and it may be biased).

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Code Vein and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

Both games have a pretty straightforward storytelling approach. The voice actors on both games did a great job and they make you care about what is going on in the story.

It’s hard to say which game has the better story. I equally enjoyed both games’ stories though if I absolutely had to choose one it would be Code Vein’s story cause of the true ending of the story. I think it is the thing that makes the story of Code Vein a little better than Jedi Fallen Order’s story.

I have to say though that this is purely subjective and in my opinion, both stories are at the same level.

Gameplay

The difference between those games is in the way they approach combat.

In Code Vein, you have the classic Dark Souls combat which includes a lot of rolling, while in Jedi Fallen Order you have combat closer to Sekiro which includes a lot of parrying.

I have to say though that the parrying system of Jedi Fallen Order didn’t feel as good as Sekiro. It felt a little off, and that was enough to completely mess the timings. I don’t know if they fixed it with future patches, since I played the game when it was released, but the game version I played had a problem with the parry, and since I didn’t feel like getting used to this problematic parry system I rarely used parry.

I have beat Sekiro with the hardest possible difficulty settings(NG+7, demon bell activated and without Kuro’s charm) and in these settings when you don’t perfect parry you get chip damage so trust me when I say that the parry of Jedi Fallen Order(at least in the original version) had problems.

Another difference is that Jedi Fallen Order has only two weapons types available to you. The dual-blade lightsaber and the normal lightsaber. Code Vein has a lot of different types of weapons available, so you have to choose what you prefer.

Jedi Fallen Order has skills trees that allow you to unlock different force abilities, increase the power of those abilities, and increase your damage and a few other things similar to what I mentioned.

Code Vein on the other hand has different class types that you can play as depending on the Blood Code you chose. You can for example play as a caster doing damage with spells from afar or as a melee fighter doing damage up close, there are many other choices that I won’t mention here because it will literally take pages of text to describe all that you can do in this game.

As for the enemies that you will face both games have variety but I think Code Vein has a little more variety.

When it comes to boss fights, I believe the best choice is Code Vein. It has more interesting bosses than Jedi Fallen Order.

Lastly when it comes to replayability Code Vein is the better choice because of the variety of weapons and classes that it offers. Also, Code Vein has a lot more content. The difficulty of both games is at a similar level so I can’t say that one is harder than the other.

Visuals

The visuals of both games are great but they really can’t be compared cause they have different styles. Code Vein goes for anime like visuals while Jedi Fallen Order goes for realistic visuals.

In the end it comes down to what kind of style suits you.

As for the customization, I believe Code Vein wins this since it has the best character creation system I have seen in a game, and it gives you a lot of options. Jedi Fallen Order doesn’t have character creation, but the game allows you to change the color of your equipment and ship, but I would like more color options than those available. Also, you have to unlock the colors in Jedi Fallen Order so you don’t have all the options from the beginning of the game.

Final Thoughts

What I want you to keep from this article are the following.

Both games have great stories, that you will enjoy in my opinion. As for the combat, in Jedi Fallen Order you have only 2 weapons available and force abilities, while in Code Vein you have a variety of weapons available and different classes to choose.

The difficulty of both games is around the same level, Code Vein has more content, more variety in enemies, and more interesting bosses.

Lastly, you can’t really compare the visuals, since Code Vein has anime-like graphics, while Jedi Fallen Order has realistic graphics, and both look good in their own way. Also, Code Vein has more customization options thanks to its amazing character creation system.

Whichever game you choose, I recommend waiting for a sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Nioh and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

There isn’t really any competition when it comes to which game has the best story. Jedi Fallen Order has a solid story that makes you care for the characters in it and I believe many people want a sequel to this game just to find out what happens next.

Personally I am interested to know what happens next and that’s one of the main reasons I want a sequel.

Nioh on the other hand has a very mediocre story and it doesn’t make you care enough for what is going on. It has some interesting moments because of the historical figures that appear but beyond that it’s forgettable.

I believe they didn’t care much either since the sequel to Nioh has a new protagonist so there is no continuity.

In my opinion if you want a good story I recommend Jedi Fallen Order between these two games.

Gameplay

Nioh and Jedi Fallen Order have a lot of differences when it comes to the combat system.

Jedi Fallen Order has a combat system where you can use 2 weapons, a lightsaber and a dual blade lightsaber and you can also use force powers. It also has skill trees and as you level up you can unlock different force abilities or combat abilities.

In Nioh you can use different kinds of weapons, ninja, and onmyo skills. Nioh also has different attributes that you can put points on to make your character stronger. Another thing that makes Nioh’s combat interesting is the different combat stances you can use.

Each stance has a different moveset and having combat stances adds another layer to the game.

I have said it many times in previous articles but I will say it again. Having fewer weapons to use doesn’t necessarily make the game worse. It can actually improve the experience since the developers can optimize the enemies to fight against your specific weapon and make combat more interesting.

This can’t be done when there is a lot of variety in weapons. Of course, having a lot of variety in weapons has its benefits too since it can give more replayability to the game.

So in the end it all comes down to what you prefer.

As for the enemies, Nioh wins here since it has a lot more variety in enemies. In Jedi Fallen Order there is less variety in enemies but fights are a little more entertaining.

When it comes to bosses Nioh wins too since it has more and they are more fun to fight against.

Lastly let’s talk about replayability, difficulty, and content. Nioh has a lot more replayability since it has more weapons to choose from and you can also make a lot of builds choosing different skill combinations.

As for the difficulty, Nioh is a lot more challenging. Finally, it has a lot more content so you get more for what you are paying.

Visuals

Visuals are another area that Jedi Fallen Order is superior, and there isn’t even a debate on that. On some games, the 2-year difference in the release isn’t that obvious when it comes to their graphics but between these two games, there is a big difference.

It’s not only that the graphics of Jedi Fallen Order are superior, but it also has better scenery with areas that look absolutely amazing.

There is one thing though that Nioh wins over Jedi Fallen Order and that is customization. Nioh has an equipment transmogrification system and for those of you that don’t know what this is, it basically means that you are able to change the appearance of all your equipment and keep the stats.

Nioh has a lot of amazing outfits for you to wear and this system allows you to look the way you want without having to sacrifice stats.

Final Thoughts

I will summarize what you should remember from this comparison.

First, when it comes to story Jedi Fallen Order wins easy. Second, Nioh wins when it comes to gameplay since it has more replayability, more challenging, and interesting bosses, and a lot more content.

Lastly when it comes to visuals. Jedi Fallen Order has a lot better graphics but it doesn’t have as good customization system as Nioh since Nioh has a transmogrification system.

Finally, whatever you choose I believe you will have a good experience, the thing I should mention though is that I recommend you wait for a sale since I don’t believe either game is worth the full price.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 3 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I will do a comparison between them and I will let you be the judge of which game is better. First I will talk about the storyline of those 2 games, then I will talk about the difference or similarities in their gameplay, and lastly, I will compare the visuals and tell you my final thoughts. Now let’s begin.

Storyline

Both games have interesting storylines though they have different approaches when it comes to telling them.

Jedi Fallen Order has a more direct approach with a lot of cutscenes, while in Dark Souls 3 you have to discover what is going on through reading item descriptions or talking with NPCs multiple times and watching the environment.

It all comes down to what you prefer, saying one is better than the other is subjective. All I can tell you is that both are good in their own way.

Gameplay

The main difference is that Jedi Fallen Order focuses on the action combat while Dark Souls 3 has a clear focus on the RPG elements.

In Jedi Fallen Order you can only use two weapons for the duration of the game, a lightsaber, and a dual-blade lightsaber. That isn’t a bad thing but there are people who prefer to have more variety when it comes to the weapons they can use in a game.

Dark Souls 3 has that variety since there are a lot of different kinds of weapons and each of them feels unique and different from the rest.

The benefit of having fewer weapons available is that the developers can balance the game better and can make the combat more focused on the kinds of weapons that you are using.

As for the RPG elements, in Dark Souls 3 we have the traditional RPG with different attributes, and you put points on them, while in Jedi Fallen Order we have skills trees that allow you to unlock different force abilities, increase the power of those abilities and increase your damage and a few other things similar to what I mentioned.

I don’t believe you can objectively say one is better than the other so I will leave it for you to decide.

Now both games have variety when it comes to enemies and bosses too, but I have to say I prefer Dark Souls 3 bosses.

Dark Souls 3 has more unique bosses and they are more interesting to fight. If you want to fight unique and interesting bosses then Dark Souls 3 is the best choice.

Jedi Fallen Order wins when it comes to the normal enemies you will meet when you traverse the areas. They are more challenging and more interesting to fight against.

Lastly, let’s talk about the difficulty and replayability. For me, both games are around the same level when it comes to difficulty. I didn’t feel that one was particularly harder than the other.

When it comes to replayability through Dark Souls 3 wins by far since it has a lot of different classes weapons and builds that you can try.

One thing that Dark Souls 3 has that Jedi Fallen Order doesn’t have is the multiplayer mode. Though I have to say that I didn’t particularly like it since the connection is peer to peer and there is a lot of lag.

Maybe if you are lucky and you are close with the person that you are fighting it will be fun but for me it was frustrating. I gave up on it because playing with lag is not fun for me.

Visuals

When it comes to visual there isn’t any competition. There is a big difference in the visuals of both games. Jedi Fallen Order looks a lot better and it is a lot more realistic.

As for the customization options, Jedi Fallen Order wins here too. In Jedi Fallen Order you can unlock different outfit colors by finding them in boxes in the game, and you can also customize every part of your lightsaber.

The customization in this game is very good but to be honest none of the outfit colors was good enough for me so I had to download a mod that looked exactly how I wanted to look like before I had even seen the color options, one of the perks of playing on PC.

In Dark Souls 3 you can change your armor to look different but there is no item transmogrification system(meaning that you aren’t able to change the appearance of any armor or weapon you have to the appearance of another weapon or armor you have gotten in the game and keep the item’s stats) which is something that I always want in an RPG.

Final Thoughts

I will now summarize what you should keep from this article.

Both games have great stories though they have a different way of telling those stories. Jedi Fallen Order has a traditional approach with a lot of cinematics while in Dark Souls 3 you have to discover what is going on through exploring the world, reading item descriptions, and talking to NPCs.

In the gameplay department, you should pick Dark Souls 3 if you want more RPG elements, replayability, and more interesting bosses, and you should pick Jedi Fallen Order if you want more optimized combat since the combat is optimized for your weapon and more interesting fights with normal enemies in the different areas.

Lastly Jedi Fallen order offers better visuals and more customization.

Whatever game you choose to buy, I recommend waiting for sale since I don’t believe they are worth the full price.
