7 Days to Die vs Days Gone
7 Days to Die
7 Days to Die is a pretty hardcore zombie survival game set in a vast, randomly-generated, post-apocalytic world where you are apparently the sole survivor (unless you are playing it on multiplayer mode with your friends). Being the hardcore game that it is, you will literally start the game with almost nothing to your name. You'll be required to collect resources from the environment and scavenge for items by scouring the many abandoned buildings while trying to avoid attracting any zombies' attention in order to craft a variety of useful items as well as to... well, stay alive! You can also customize your gameplay by adjusting the settings, which honestly we would recommend for your first playthrough because the zombies in this game are actually really tough to kill.Aside from its "lose everything when you die" hardcore-ness (which is adjustable to be less hardcore-ish via the settings), the most interesting part about this game is the fact that you can choose a nice building to turn into your base by clearing out the zombies in it, barricade it the best you can and start hoarding a ton of materials and supplies. The only major downside to the game though is its cringy, old-timey graphics. Sometimes, collision doesn't work as well.
Besides the comically bad graphics (for this day and age anyway, but bear in mind that the game's indie), 7 Days to Die is definitely a game that will appeal to hardcore survival fans as the game can be modified to be your worst zombie nightmore or it can be toned down to a somewhat casual post-apocalyptic adventure. Even so, do you think you've got what it takes to be the ultimate survivor?
Days Gone
Days Gone is a Playstation-exclusive, open world zombie-survival game set in a -obviously- post-apocalyptic world. In this game, you'll get to play as Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter who not only struggles to survive but also to find a meaning to life in a world that has gone to the dogs. Featuring a profound storyline where you'll get to experience what it feels like being in Deacon's shoes, you'll also get to enjoy plenty of zombie-killing, in addition to scavenging for resources, crafting better tools and weapons, exploring the world on Deacon's cool Drifter Bike, and completing a wide variety of challenges in whichever way, manner or approach you like. The game also has some really stunning game environments, cities (mostly ruined or abandoned ones, of course) and biomes to immerse yourself in.From the many sneak peeks, Days Gone seems to have the powerful narrative that is guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings while having a fun third-person shooter gameplay and a zombie theme that many gamers can get behind. The game is slated to be released early 2018, but you can pre-order your disc and be ready to dive into some exciting zombie-killing action once Days Gone is launched.
