7 Days to Die vs RimWorld
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?
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
