I don’t like to compare video games. I prefer to evaluate each game on its own merits, as its own experience. I enjoy games much more when I do this because I don’t get wrapped up in what I think a game should be—it simply is. It’s very demure, very mindful, or whatever the hell kids are saying these days. However, some games are so like their inspirations that it’s nearly impossible not to compare them.
