5 Things Wizards Unite Does Better Than Pokémon Go (And 5 It Doesn’t)

This spooky season, there are two multiplayer horror games for PC and console you might want to play with friends: Friday the 13th and Dead by Daylight . The games share a lot of similarities when it comes to their base concept — survivors are dropped into a match and one person is the killer. The aim of the survivors is to escape, and the aim of the killers is to finish the match with no one left alive. Sounds pretty simple and similar, but the games have some key differences and there are some points of contention about which of the horror games is actually better. Strap in, because we’re here to decide once and for

Pokémon Go has a cute feel, but Wizards Unite has gone for a more realistic aesthetic. Not only that, but there’s so much more going on, even in the simple encounters that pop up while you’re out and about. The scenes feature a variety of magical creatures and witches and wizards in lots of different scenarios. Production values are darn high h

Pokémon GO can be really fun, but unless you’re in a place where you can spend a lot of time walking around, you’re likely not going to be super active daily. It can also get a bit monotonous. Because Wizards Unite is more complex and varied, there are always little things going on that you can do, even while just sitting in your own ho

The reason it doesn’t rank lower is some fans like Springwood, as killers, but as survivors, there are too many corners, too many dead ends, and other places to be ambushed or cornered. Patches and slight tweaks have helped, but it’s still left a bad taste in players’ mou

Wizards Unite has many more aspects to it and can feel a bit harder to understand. While, overall, it’s still about collecting supplies and items, the story is more complex which can make it seem like less of a straight line to an end goal. It’s lacking a bit of that pick-up-and-play factor in compari

Each Foundable, which takes the spending of Spell Energy to save, then takes a spot in what appears to be a massive Sticker Book. Stroll through the world saving Foundables? In your book they go. Engage a Fortress in high-level combat against Dark Wizards and other magical creatures? Have a few more stick

Here is where we face a problem in the very foundation of the game from the start. With seven books written by J.K. Rowling that built an expansive universe for Witches and Wizards, what is the core fantasy of being a Witch or a Wiz

Friday the 13th was involved in a long lawsuit which ended in the development of the game being canceled . They still update it to fix bugs and are claiming the game will stick around, but no more DLC content can be added. Meanwhile, Daylight are continuously adding DLC content and whole new realms, the most recent of which being the Stranger Things content where you can play as Steve and Nancy or even the Demogorgon. Hard to beat t

This list was created based on some of the popular games being played this year and which of the Myers-Briggs® Types they would be ideally suited for. Whether you want a horror game to solve puzzles, fulfill a social need, or step out of the box, here are some great games to take a look

While Wizards Unite definitely features a continuation of the lore, it does take a while to get acclimatised to what’s going on. You’re not a student at Hogwarts or anything directly from the series. In Pokémon Go, however, it’s very clear how you’re a part of the unive

If one were to ask different people what they would do at a place like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, they would probably get different answers from everyone. Some would say learning magic, others might focus on herbology and brewing potions, some will demand to play Quidditch all day long, others would ditch the school and set out to be a dragon tamer with Charlie Weasley, while others would say no thank you to any of that excitement and apply for a job at Gringotts Wizarding B

Niantic could instead monetize the equivalent of incubators from Pokémon GO and cosmetics, which they do with keys and distinct Hogwarts House robes and scarves, but keeping tabs on Spell Energy all of the time has become more and more annoying, to the point where this writer wonders what the point of it all

But that’s not the only way! If you find a generator and deliberately fail a skill check, the noise will wake you up. It will also alert the killer of your location, so this may only be useful if he’s already hot on your trail, but it could save you in a pi

Aside from “Man of Mettle”, most of his attributes don’t contribute much to the Adventure Game Guide. He places a little higher than some other single-character DLC since it comes in the form of a paragraph DLC, rather than taking up a whole chap

A Binding of Kin is great in concept but terrible in execution. The Twins make for a terrifying Killer, and the ability to swap between Victor and Charlotte is an interesting change of pace. Unfortunately, they’re built for camping. Seeing Victor on dark maps is next to impossible which makes playing against this killer annoying, and sitting around waiting for hooked Survivors to die isn’t fun for the Killer eit
