2019 was a year full of video games. We have found countless quality games of interest, some not falling far from the old Genre tree, some making new forms themselves. It's not difficult to draw lines between these other standouts: Dota Underlords and Teamfight tactics, The cover and Jedi: The Fallen Order, Surprising Death and every other game that came out over the past decade. But no two games beg for more comparisons The Foreign World and Exotic wildlife.

I just found out that their names are exactly the same. Well … hm. Anyway!
The worlds / wild
Well, here's something: You travel between planets in both games. In The Foreign World, you do so with a map between your space, which is unreliable. You don't make a lot of actual flight The Foreign World. In Exotic wildlife, skip your atmosphere, unnamed I Know That, and manually drive your way through a series of unknown planets. Oh, and you have 22 minutes to find out Groundhog Day-go back to the first planet, so you know.
In The Foreign World, the planets take the form of an open world RPG scene, in which you fill in quotes issued by NPCs that allow you to choose to become a business fancist, Elizabeth Warren, or a tank full of blood. In Exotic wildlife, the planets are spherical regions with their natural and unnatural directions to find them, which makes them feel almost like a theme park filled with automatons that provide search (non-existent) and more like real places. For example, the Giant & # 39; s Deep Planet is a large ball of cyclone that periodically moves the islands into outer space. It's pretty cool.
What was I talking about? All right. Yes, so both games have ships and planets. Between the two, I think I'll give the edge to … Exotic wildlife? Or maybe The Foreign World. Both? They treat these things differently. But the words! They are the same. Almost the same, actually. It makes you think.
Pirst ferson
OK, now I have one for sure: the view! Both The Foreign World and Exotic wildlife first-person games. But they use that idea completely differently. In The Foreign World, no entries are specified. You fight and talk to people and what you can do – and you can't admit to fooling various groups – but you are the first person camera on a man-made stick. In Exotic wildlife, you can look down and see your torso and feet. This, of course, gives her a huge advantage The Foreign World and, frankly, it's great for all the other first-person games. There is a purpose to this, too. It turns out, it's important to have a bad idea of where your legs are when you swing around the zero or turn upward to solve mind-blowing, piaring waright puzzles.
So, both games are first person. From this we can clearly see … nothing. Both games are really different. Sorry, folks! I've been trying to delete this post, but every 22 minutes, it returns to my lapsi screen with just a title, and time starts down. Also, I will never die. You think it's good, but you don't. It's a bad time, after a while.
Chat?
In The Foreign World, you can participate in first-person shootings and melee combat with an assortment of looters (too many spoilers), aliens, and robots. In Exotic wildlife, your main enemy is the sunrise. You can't fight it with guns or with a hammer because, again, it's the sun, and it's exploding.
Look, everybody, there is nothing I can do about this. I know I'm holding in the grass. But the words are the same. Probably the same! There are only two different characters! What are the issues? I think if I just admit this enough number of times, I'll probably be freed from this, and eventually the atmosphere will let me die.
You can't take No Man's skies from me
Well, work with me on this: Both games are related (in a way, like, the third cousin once removed you never met) There is no human sky. Exotic wildlife it has spherical planets and … very much The Foreign World, on the other hand, is clearly inspired by Joss Whedon's short sci-fi game Firefly, his theme song containing the line "Burn the Earth and Boil the Sea, You Can't Clear The Sky." We should put that in, Firefly, actually one the human skies – that is, the unnamed person who wrote the song. Maybe that's true too The Foreign World?
Of course, whatever you do, don't forget that both games have almost the same name. Please, for my sake. The passage of time has taken a lot out of me. Many memories are gone, instead of the endless repetition of this same blog. The faces of my parents and loved ones, the impartial atmosphere. How much would you lose before you lose it? I ask myself that question every day – though I would, if I could understand dates as an idea again.
Ah no, I was spoiled for so many minutes. I fear that I may fail again – that the tunnel of light may never again overwhelm me, and draw me into the darkness of the clock of the past.
Go your way
In The Foreign World, many quests provide you with multiple routes and chat options. In the end, however, decisions often feel diminished, take on a more complex issue (workers' rights and less capitalist abuse) and turn it into a series of opposing office parties out of laughter. In Exotic wildlife, you can go to any planet you want, whenever you want. Remember when video games forced you to move to planets in a pre-selected order? Yeah. We're here now. Exotic wildlife you definitely win this circle.
Time
What is the time? What time is it? Who you are time? Below this is a good blogging, looking up at the starless sky, I have no answers. In The Foreign World, you can shorten the time. I can do anything with this ability, as long as I buy myself more. In Exotic wildlife, you are at the mercy of time. You have to free yourself or hit the endless drain of existential abuses, which explode and condense, but never get you out of the abyss below. Is that all you have to do, or is it all you can do? After a certain point, it doesn't matter. Because you see, time and choice are all plans, in the grand scheme of things, and—

2019 was a year full of video games. We found countless quality games of some kind, some didn't fall far from the mighty Genre tree, and some made new forms on their own. It's not difficult to draw lines between these other standouts: Dota Underlords and Teamfight tactics, The cover and Jedi: The Fallen Order, A Wonderful Death and every other game that came out over the past decade.
