Category: Game Comparisons

Hi guys! Today I will talk about The Surge vs 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 the storyline the best choice is The Surge since it is more of a character-driven story than the story of Surge 2 is. Surge 2 chose to allow the players to create their own character and that for me severely impacted the story since it felt like the story had no life.

Now, this doesn’t mean the story of the first Surge game is great. Its story is far from great but the fact that it is better than the story of Surge 2 for me is undeniable.

So if you want the game with the better story then I recommend the first Surge.

Gameplay

The gameplay of these two games is very similar though Surge 2 is definitely a step up in every regard. The combat is smoother, the UI is cleaner and generally, everything is an improvement when it comes to the gameplay.

Both games offer a variety of weapons for the player to use and a variety of enemies to face. Even though there are a lot of improvements I can’t really say that the overall experience felt all that better from the first game.

Overall while playing Surge 2 I felt like I played a somewhat improved version of the first game but I didn’t see an actual innovation in Surge 2 compared to the first game. It was more of the same, which is fine and all but I would like to have seen more. For example, the bosses you had to face in both games weren’t so interesting and needed a lot of improvement.

The bosses I saw in the first Surge were far from interesting and not challenging at all. There was some improvement in Surge 2 but they still weren’t as interesting as the bosses you would see in a Dark Souls game.

Both games have around the same level of challenge and around the same hours of content available. None of these games offer co-op or PVP modes.

Visuals

The visuals are an important aspect of a game to consider before making a choice and between these two games Surge, 2 has better visuals. Although Surge 2 has better visuals the difference isn’t big enough for the visuals to matter in the decision-making process.

Of course if you struggle to choose and you want to nitpick then you can consider them, its your choice after all.

The level design isn’t much different in these two games and I don’t believe it’s worth comparing since both games felt the same level design-wise.

As for the customization, besides the limited option in character creation which for me made it not worth having in the first place, the rest is the same. You can equip different armor sets and weapons and change clothes, nothing worth mentioning here.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the story, the best choice is the first Surge since I believe it had a more interesting story.

In the gameplay department Surge 2 wins since it is better in almost every aspect.

Lastly, Surge 2 has better visuals though there isn’t a very significant difference.

Whichever game you choose I recommend waiting for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and 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

When it comes to the storyline, Jedi Fallen Order is the best choice by far. It offers an amazing story with interesting characters and makes you care about them.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a plot-driven story like all the other Dark Souls games and as I said I am not a fan of plot-driven stories since very rarely they manage to keep my attention. You might prefer this kind of storytelling and if you do then that’s great.

So for me, if you want an amazing story I would 100% recommend Jedi Fallen Order but if you prefer plot-driven stories then Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is also a very good choice.

Gameplay

The combat style of these two games is quite different. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has the combat you would expect from Dark Souls game, meaning you attack, you dodge and you throw a parry here and there. Jedi Fallen Order on the other hand has a combat system like the one you find in Sekiro, meaning that parrying is encouraged and it’s the most optimal way to play the game.

Of course, there are some additional things these games have when it comes to combat. One of those things is the dual-wielding system you can find in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin which in my opinion is the best dual-wielding system in the Dark Souls franchise.

Jedi Fallen Order on the other hand has force powers that you can use which for me are the highlight of the game.

Another difference between these two games is the number of weapons you can use. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers a lot of different weapons for you to choose from, on the other hand, Jedi Fallen Order only offers one, which is the lightsaber. The lightsaber can be transformed into a double-bladed lightsaber but that is as far as it goes.

Having more weapon options doesn’t make a game better. It all comes down to you the player and what do you prefer.

As for the enemies that you will face, both games offer a variety of enemies but when it comes to bosses Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin easily(at least for me).

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers more bosses, and they are more interesting to fight against than the bosses of Jedi Fallen Order.

The difficulty is another thing to consider. For me Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is a little more challenging than Jedi Fallen Order. Also Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more replayability since it has a lot of different classes and builds you can try, and I can’t say this for Jedi Fallen Order.

Lastly Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers co-op and PVP modes so if you care about playing the game with or against other people then this is an important thing for you to consider.

Visuals

Visually these games are night and day. There isn’t even a comparison to make when it comes to graphics. Jedi Fallen Order is just on a different league and that’s understandable since it came 3 years after Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. Also, Dark Souls games were never really known for having amazing graphics.

The environment and locations you visit in Jedi Fallen Order are breathtaking. I don’t think I have played a game that better looking than Jedi Fallen Order.

As for the customization, I’d say Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a small edge because it has a character creation system but Jedi Fallen Order also offers customization on your lightsaber, clothes, spaceship, and more.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First when it comes to story, I recommend Jedi Fallen Order unless you prefer plot-driven stories.

Gameplay-wise, both games are around the same level when it comes to combat(for different reasons), but Dark Souls 2 offers more replayability, better bosses, multiplayer modes, and is more challenging.

When it comes to visuals Jedi Fallen Order is on a different league and there is no choice here.

Whichever game you choose I recommend waiting for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin 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

Storywise both games didn’t impress me. In the case of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, I have mentioned again in previous articles that I am not a fan of plot-driven stories and that I prefer character-driven stories. The storylines of Dark Souls games never impressed me all that much because they didn’t have characters that the game made me care about.

The Surge 2 is another game that has a story that I didn’t care and I can say that I cared a lot less for Surge 2’s story than for the story of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

If you want to know which of the two stories I prefer then it’s the story of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First. Even though I don’t really like either of them, I can’t say for certain that I prefer medieval-type stories to futuristic type stories.

Gameplay

There are a lot of differences in the way you approach combat in both games. When it comes to Surge 2, the moment you start a fight you have to decide which body part of the enemy you want to focus on hitting depending on what you are trying to achieve. For example, if you want to eliminate the enemy fast you have to hit the body parts of him that don’t have armor, on the other hand, if you want to use his armor in the future you have to cut off the limb that has the armor piece you want.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has the traditional way of fighting enemies although there are also things that you need to consider while you are fighting enemies. One important thing you need to keep in mind is that death has an additional penalty besides losing the souls that you have gathered. Because of the HP system they implemented in the game, each time you die a part of your HP becomes locked until you are left with 50%(75% if you use a ring) of your total HP. You can consume an item to unlock your HP, but you can’t buy these items in large quantities so you have to be careful and don’t die unnecessarily.

Both games have a variety of weapons and armors that you can buy so if you are the type of player that wants to have a lot of options then you won’t have a problem.

Both games also have a lot of different types of enemies though when it comes to bosses I have to go with Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers a lot more hours of content than The Surge 2 and it is also more challenging. Another thing you might need to consider is that Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin also offers co-op and PVP which for some people is important and gives the game more replayability than it already has.

Visuals

The visuals of Surge 2 are objectively better than the visuals of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more interesting environment and areas for the player to visit. Having good graphics doesn’t help when the scenery isn’t impressive. Now I know that they have to make a location depending on the story but I have to criticize based on what I think is good and I would choose Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin’s locations over Surge 2’s locations.

As for the customization, I think Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin wins there since it has more options on the character creation system and since both games are on par when it comes to armor styles, Dark Souls 2 wins by a small margin.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First when it comes to the storylines, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is the better choice but I wouldn’t recommend getting either game for the story.

The combat in both games is different so you can’t really say which game has better combat but what I can say is that Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more hours of content, and interesting bosses and is more challenging.

Finally, when it comes to visuals, Surge 2 wins since it has better graphics but if you want more interesting locations then Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is the better choice.

Whichever game you buy I recommend that you wait for a sale since I don’t believe either games is worth the full price.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Code Vein. 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

Story-wise Code Vein has a far better and more interesting story than Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. The thing I like about Code Vein’s story is that even though the main character doesn’t speak because it is custom, the rest of the characters have interesting personalities, goals, and emotions. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and every other Dark Souls game for that matter have uninteresting characters and forgettable stories, at least for me.

I may be biased because I prefer storytelling with dialogues and cutscenes than reading walls of text and exhausting all the dialogue options on every single character you see. If I wanted to read walls of text I would go read a book not play a game, game is a visual medium and should be treated as such. If Dark Souls games were made by an indie studio that couldn’t hire voice actors I would understand that but they are made by FromSoftware.

So at the end of the day if you want a game with good story get Code Vein.

Gameplay

When it comes to combat, there are a lot of similarities between the two games. The big differences between the two games are in the RPG systems they have. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has the traditional stat point system while Code Vein has a class system where each class gives you different stats and has its own abilities available that you can unlock.

Both are good systems and it is up to you to decide what system you prefer. As for the combat, both games offer a variety of weapons for you to use, though Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more weapons available. The combat may be similar but there are some differences. The most notable one being the dual-wielding system in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

The dual-wielding system is what made Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin my favorite Dark Souls game. It gives a lot of freedom to the players since they can try a lot of different weapon combinations. It is a pity that they revamped the system in Dark Souls 3.

There are also a lot of different types of enemies you can find in both games and there is a variety of bosses too. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more bosses though and content in general.

Another important factor is how challenging both games are. In my opinion Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers more challenge because of the HP system they implemented in the game, I won’t explain it in detail but basically each time you die a part of your HP becomes locked until you are left with 50%(75% if you use a ring) of your total HP. You can consume an item to unlock your HP but you can’t buy these items in large quantities so you have to be careful and don’t die unnecessarily.

Lastly, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Code Vein have around the same level of replayability and both games offer co-op mode, but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin also offers a pvp mode which Code Vein doesn’t have. As

Visuals

Visually both games have different styles. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has gone for realistic-looking graphics while Code Vein goes for anime-like graphics. Now, most of the time when I compare graphics of different style choices I say that it all depends on what you prefer but in this case, I believe Code Vein has more clean graphics since it came out many years after Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

As far as scenery and locations go I believe Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has better scenery. Lastly, Code Vein has better customization and one of the best character creation systems I have seen in gaming. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has some amazing looking armors but it doesn’t have an equipment 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. Whether you consider that enough to beat an amazing character creation system, it’s up to you.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, when it comes to the story I recommend Code Vein and I don’t believe that there is even a debate on that.

Gameplay-wise, the games have different RPG systems, if you want the classic RPG you should go with Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, if you want something different then you should pick Code Vein. If you want more content and challenges then you should pick Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

Lastly as far as graphics and customization go I recommend Code Vein on both.

Whichever game you choose I believe you will be satisfied but I recommend waiting for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. 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 the storyline Sekiro is far superior. In my opinion, it has the best story out of all the other FromSoftware games that I have played (those include everything from Demon’s Souls and after, except Bloodborne). The characters in the story have interesting personalities and the game makes you care for what is going on. The game also has four different endings based on your actions throughout the game.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has the kind of story you would expect from a Dark Souls game. I don’t really enjoy story-driven plots since they rarely make me care about what’s going on story-wise. Maybe you have a different opinion about this but if you want my opinion then pick Sekiro if you want a game with an amazing story that will keep you interested.

Gameplay

The combat systems of both games have a lot of differences. Sekiro has only one weapon that your character can use and that is the katana, some may find this a bad thing but I think it was a smart choice since they could optimize the enemies and the entire game for that matter to make a unique combat system and they did just that.

Sekiro’s has the most fluid combat system I have ever seen in a game. The combat is fast-paced and requires skill and precise timing. Making perfect counters one after the other gives you a feeling of accomplishment and that isn’t seen often in most games.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin also has a very good combat system and what I mean precisely is the dual-wielding system that the game offers. I think it has the best dual-wielding system compared to the other Dark Souls games. Personally, I think Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has the best combat system out of all the Dark Souls games.

As you can see, both games are amazing in their own way. Another aspect that you need to consider is the enemies that you will face in the different areas of those games and the bosses

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more main bosses for the players to fight but when you count all the bosses, main plus optional that there are available in both games then you will find out that both games have around the same number of bosses.

There is a lot of variety in normal enemies and bosses in both games so the players won’t be disappointed. I know an important question is how challenging both games are compared to one another. I believe Sekiro is more challenging than Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, especially in the second playthrough if you don’t take Kuro’s charm. Though I have to say both games are very close when it comes to how challenging they are. As for the content, both games have around the same content if someone chooses to do all the four endings in Sekiro, if you compare both game’s content on a single playthrough then Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more content.

Dark Souls: Scholar of the First Sin also has PvP and co-op modes available so that may be a plus for some people.

Visuals

When it comes to visuals then Sekiro wins effortlessly. Sekiro has the most beautiful world and graphics by far compared to the other Dark Souls games. Some locations will make you wonder if you play a FromSoftware game since until Sekiro all their games were dark and gloomy.

When it comes to customization, then Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more options for clothes to wear but all those clothes and armors have stats that are bound to them so whatever you wear you have to consider the stats and if looks are worth worse stats in many cases.

Sekiro has four outfits for the player to wears(the original and three more) although they are unlocked through challenges and they aren’t available from the beginning.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should keep from this article.

First, when it comes to story Sekiro win by far in my opinion.

Gameplay-wise, I prefer Sekiro since it has more fluid combat but the dual-wielding system of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is amazing as well. Both games have around the same content and bosses but Sekiro is a little more challenging. Also Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has co-op and PvP modes.

Visually Sekiro is breathtaking and the only choice if you want awesome graphics.

Whichever game you choose I would recommend waiting for sale though even if you don’t wait I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Mortal Shell. 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

The story of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is better and more fleshed out than the story of Mortal Shell. I have said it in previous articles but I will say it again, the story of Mortal Shell felt like it was made just to give the players an explanation of why they are fighting.

Both games have story-driven plots and I don’t particularly like those kinds of plots that aren’t character-driven. Personally, I didn’t care much about what was going on, and the games didn’t put much effort into making me care. Probably this happened because their plots are both story-driven, but the result can’t be ignored.

I would never recommend a Dark Souls game for the story because their storytelling approach isn’t for everyone, I am glad they changed it with Sekiro (which is my favorite single-player game).

If you want a clear answer in this section, then the winner is Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin but I don’t think you should factor storyline in your decision-making process.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin I believe is superior to that of Mortal Shell for one reason, the dual-wielding system. I have said this in previous articles too and I will say it again, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has one of the best and most unique dual-wielding systems I have seen. It allows you to dual wield different kinds of weapons and the only limitation is that they have to have the same types of attacks and of course you have to be able to wield them with your stats.

Mortal Shell has the hardening system, which don’t get me wrong, is something fresh but I think it makes the game too easy since it gives the player a way to avoid all coming damage if he knows how to use it, and it doesn’t require a lot of skill to use it effectively.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin also offers more weapon choices than Mortal Shell which only offers five different weapons. Although I don’t believe that is necessarily a bad thing, as I have said in previous articles, having fewer weapon choices has other benefits but unfortunately, I don’t believe the pros outway the cons in this case.

I mean sure some of the combos you can do in Mortal Shell with your weapons are cool and all but they aren’t great and certainly don’t justify the fewer weapon choices. Sekiro which also had one weapon available made the most out of it by making the combat absolutely amazing and in my opinion, it has the best combat system ever made.

Both games offer a variety of enemies and bosses but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers more bosses which are far more interesting and challenging.

At the end of the day Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin offers more content, a better combat experience, more challenge, and it also has PvP and co-op modes.

Visuals

The visuals of Mortal Shell are a lot better which is natural since it came out 5 years after Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. The thing is that the game doesn’t have amazing scenery to fully utilize the improved visuals that a 2020 game has. Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin on the other hand has interesting scenery but due to the time of its release doesn’t have amazing graphics to capitalize on the locations the game has.

On the customization department Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has amazing armors that you can wear, but it doesn’t have a 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.

So in the end, if you want graphics go with Mortal Shell, if you want customization go with Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to story Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has a better story but generally I wouldn’t recommend picking either game for the story.

Gameplay-wise, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin wins because of the dual-wielding system and because it has more bosses that are more challenging and interesting to fight against than Mortal Shell’s bosses. Also, the game has co-op and PvP.

Lastly Mortal Shell has better graphics but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has better locations and more customization.

Whichever game you pick I recommend waiting for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and Nioh. 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 the story I believe Dark Souls 2 wins by a very small margin. In general, I don’t really like story-driven plots in games but I can’t deny that Dark Souls 2 has an interesting story. Even though I prefer character-driven plots in games, Nioh doesn’t have a story that is memorable.

Nioh’s story has some interesting parts when certain characters appear but beyond that, it’s very mediocre and forgettable. In the end, neither game’s story left me satisfied but I believe you will enjoy more the Storyline of Dark Souls 2.

Gameplay

Both games have great gameplay but for different reasons. I believe the best thing in Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is the dual-wielding system that it has and it the best combat system the Dark Souls franchise had in my opinion. Unfortunately, they changed it in Dark Souls 3, and I never understood why they did that. I hope that in future FromSoftware games we will see it again.

Nioh on the other hand has the stance system, where you can change combat stances while you are fighting enemies and each stance has its own moveset and skill tree. I had a lot of fun with this system and I can’t wait to play Nioh 2 when it comes to PC or when I get a console.

Of course, there are other systems both games have that are interesting but I discuss those in the separate reviews I made for those games. I don’t want to bombard you with information. The purpose of these comparison articles is to give you a summary of the important systems and features each game that I compare has and to help you make a decision on what to pick.

As for the enemies that you will face, both games have a variety of mobs that you will find in the areas that you will pass through and you will not feel like you are fighting the same enemies over and over. Also, both games have a variety of bosses but Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has more bosses for you to fight.

Finally, it is important to know how challenging both games are. I believe both games are equally challenging and I can’t really say that one is more challenging than the other.

Visuals

The visuals of Nioh are superior to those of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. This is natural since Nioh was released two years after Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin and in general Dark Souls games were never really known for having amazing graphics.

That said, I don’t think the difference in graphics is big enough for someone to add this as a pro when deciding which of these two games to pick. Of course, if you can’t decide based on the other things I said and you need to nitpick to make a choice then you have to consider them.

On the customization department, Nioh wins again since it has an equipment transmogrification system, meaning that you are 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.

In Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin there are some amazing looking armor sets with good stats so not having a transmogrification system isn’t as big of a problem as in other souls games but it is a very important feature for me and I think every RPG must have it since it makes the experience of playing the game much more enjoyable.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to story Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin wins but generally I wouldn’t recommend including the story aspect in your decision making process on which game to pick since I don’t believe either of those games is worth getting for the story.

As for the gameplay, both have their strength and weaknesses but personally, I believe the combat has more depth in Nioh because of the combat stances(you can unlock skills for each stance too) and the variety they give to the combat.

One thing is for sure, whichever game you pick I believe you won’t regret it.

Finally, Nioh has better graphics and more customization options than Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.

Whatever you decide I recommend waiting for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Dark Souls Remastered and Mortal Shell. 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 the story, the clear winner is Dark Souls Remastered since it made me care more about what was going on than Mortal Shell. Mortal Shell’s story felt like it was made just to give the players an explanation of why they are fighting.

Dark Soul’s story even though it isn’t character-driven(I personally prefer character-driven stories), is interesting and you feel that they have put much thought into it. A problem for some may be that to understand the story you have to actively try to understand the story through reading item descriptions, talking to NPCs, and looking at the areas you visit carefully for clues as to what is going on.

Dark Souls games always had that kind of storytelling and some people might prefer a more straightforward storytelling approach.

Gameplay

When it comes to the combat system both games have some similarities, since Mortal Shell’s gameplay takes inspiration from the Dark Souls games.

Mortal Shell’s combat is more polished though since it has a lot of quality of life improvements over the original Dark Souls game mechanics. For example Dark Souls Remastered still has that 4 direction roll which is annoying and it doesn’t really add to the difficulty.

The original Dark Souls is a good game but it has a lot of things that you don’t see in modern games because the developers are more experienced in making games and the standards of the players have risen accordingly.

Although the combat in Dark Souls Remastered isn’t as fluid as Mortal Shell’s combat, Dark Souls Remastered still has a lot of things going for it. It has a variety of weapons and classes for the player to choose from, something that Mortal Shell can’t deliver to that extent cause it only has four classes available and five weapons.

As for the variety of enemies, Dark Souls has more variety in enemies and especially bosses. Fighting bosses in Dark Souls is way more entertaining than fighting bosses in Mortal Shell.

Finally, Dark Souls Remastered offers more replayability (because it has more classes, weapons, and builds you can try), has a lot more content, is more challenging, and also has coop and PVP modes.

Visuals

The visuals of Mortal Shell are far superior to the visuals of Dark Souls Remastered. This isn’t a surprise since mortal Shell released in 2020 while Dark Souls Remastered released in 2018 and since it was a remastered version there wasn’t a big difference in the visuals from the original game which was released in 2011.

Although Mortal Shell has better graphics, Dark Souls Remastered has more interesting locations and scenery, this isn’t something that can help you ignore the graphics but I believe it’s something worth mentioning.

As for the customization, Dark Souls Remastered wins since it has a character creation system and you can also change the armor you wear. In Mortal Shell, you can only change shells which are basically different characters so I don’t think you can consider it customization but even if you do consider it, Dark Souls Remastered still wins.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First if you want a good story then I recommend Dark Souls Remastered.

As for the gameplay, Mortal Shell has more fluid combat but Dark Souls Remastered has more interesting bosses, more builds, classes, and weapons to choose from, it is more challenging, has more replayability, and also has coop and PVP.

When it comes to visuals Mortal Shell wins since it’s a recent game, but Dark Souls Remastered has more customization and more interesting scenery.

Whichever game you choose I recommend you wait for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Jedi Fallen Order vs Mortal Shell. 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 the story, Jedi Fallen Order wins easily. As I have said in previous articles Mortal Shell’s story is uninteresting and forgettable. Mortal Shell has no interesting characters and gives the player no reason to care about what is going on in that world.

Jedi Fallen Order on the other hand has a lot of interesting characters that have interesting personalities and it also has an amazing story that will leave you wanting more when you finish the game.

If you care about the story then Jedi Fallen Order is the best choice.

Gameplay

There are a lot of differences in the gameplay of these two games. Jedi Fallen Order has a combat system that is similar to Sekiro’s meaning that it wants you to parry and keep attacking. Mortal Shell’s combat system focuses on the game’s hardening mechanic.

As for the weapons that you have available, in Mortal Shell there are 5 weapon types available while Jedi Fallen Order has only two kinds of weapons available, the lightsaber and the dual-blade lightsaber.

I can’t really say which is better in that regard because it comes down to people’s preferences. Some players want to have a lot of weapons available while others don’t mind playing with the same weapon for the entire game.

Both games also have a variety of enemies for you to fight against but I can’t really say that they have bosses that you will find memorable after you finish the game. I have said it before in previous articles but Mortal Shell’s bosses aren’t that interesting and the game doesn’t have enough bosses, to begin with. Jedi Fallen Order has done a somewhat better job when it comes to bosses but still, the boss fights didn’t feel as interesting as the boss fights in FromSoftware games.

When it comes to how challenging these two games are, Jedi Fallen Order is more challenging. The reason Mortal Shell is not as challenging in my opinion is that the hardening system is too overpowered once you get used to it and it isn’t that hard to take advantage of that system to not take any damage. Another important factor to consider is replayability. I don’t think either game is worth playing a second time, of course, that is a personal opinion but that’s how I felt.

Lastly if you want the game with the most content then Jedi Fallen Order wins there too.

Visuals

Visually Jedi Fallen Order looks stunning, Mortal Shell looks good too, but Jedi Fallen Order has some beautiful locations that you visit throughout the game and they look amazing. Mortal Shell doesn’t have a lot of variety in the locations that you play and they aren’t something special to look at.

As for the customization, I recommend Jedi Fallen Order because it has some customization options like changing lightsaber colors, changing spaceship colors, changing clothing colors, and much more. Mortal Shell has no customization to offer besides changing shells (and shells are basically different characters with different stats so you can’t call it customization).

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the story, Jedi Fallen Order is far superior and the story is a lot more interesting and entertaining. Mortal Shell’s story is forgettable and it’s just there to give an explanation of why you are fighting.

When it comes to the gameplay, Jedi Fallen Order is more challenging and has more content, but Mortal Shell has more weapons for the player to choose from.

Finally, the visuals of Jedi Fallen Order are better but not by a lot, it’s just that it also has amazing scenery while Mortal Shell has little diversity in that regard. When it comes to customization Jedi Fallen Order wins again.

Whichever game you choose I recommend waiting for sale.

Hi guys! Today I will talk about Code Vein vs Mortal Shell. 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 the story, it’s a clear win for Code Vein. Code Vein’s story is interesting, it has characters with personality and it makes you care about the world of the game and what is going on.

Mortal Shell’s story on the other hand makes you feel like it’s there just to give the player a basic idea about why they are fighting and what this fight is about. I barely understood what the story was about mainly because the game gave me no reason to care for the characters and the world, and the word characters is an overstatement cause there are barely any characters for you to speak and they feel bland.

Gameplay

Code Vein adds its own elements to the Dark Souls formula and has an interesting RPG system. Mortal Shell also introduces a new element to the already successful formula which is the hardening system.

I have talked many times in previous articles about the negatives that this system has, one of them being that it makes the game too easy once the player learns how to use this mechanic.

If you compare the two games’ RPG systems, I believe Code Vein wins cause it gives the player more options and the system has more depth than Mortal Shells’ system.

Also, Code Vein offers a lot more weapons for the player to choose from, while Mortal Shell offers only five weapons. There is a saying, quality over quantity but after playing both games I don’t think the difference in quality is enough to justify their decision to have five weapons available.

As for the enemies, the variety in enemies is more or less the same, but when it comes to bosses Code Vein has more and they are more interesting and entertaining to fight against.

Finally, Code Vein has more replayability since there are a lot more builds the players can try thanks to the variety of classes, abilities, and weapons the game has. As a bonus Code Vein has co-op available and there are many people that want to enjoy these kinds of games with their friends.

Code Vein is also more challenging since as I said the hardening system makes Mortal Shell easy.

Visuals

The visuals of both games are around the same level though they have chosen different art styles. Mortal Shell developers have gone with realistic-looking models while Code Vein’s developers have gone with anime like models.

There is no good or bad option here, it all comes down to personal preference. As for the scenery, I believe Code Vein has more location variety than Mortal Shell.

Even though the graphics are at the same level, the same can’t be said about the customization. Code Vein has one of the best character creation systems I have seen and allows a lot of customization. In Mortal Shell you can only change shells and shells are basically characters with different stats and abilities so you can’t call that customization.

Final Thoughts

Let me summarize what you should remember from this article.

First, when it comes to the story, Code Vein wins since it has a great story with interesting characters and plot. Mortal Shell’s story is forgettable and nothing special.

Gameplay-wise, Code Vein has an edge since it has more replayability, more bosses, more weapons, a co-op system, and lastly it is more challenging.

As for the visuals, I can’t compare them since the developers have chosen different styles but I can say that Code Vein has a lot more customization, since it has one of the best character creation systems I have seen.

Whichever game you choose I recommend you wait for a sale since I don’t believe they are worth the full price.
