Days Gone vs Dead Island Riptide
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.
Dead Island Riptide
Dead Island Riptide is a blend between a sequel and a spin-off from the original Dead island game, mainly because it is still set in the Banoi archipelago and yet the open world island you'll be trying to escape from this time around is called Palanai. The story continues from where the first game left off as well where your escape was thwarted and you are thrown back into the whole zombie fiasco. The gameplay is still pretty much the same - there will be lots of head-smashing or lopping depending on the weapon you use and you can do all of that cooperatively with up to four of your friends.With a lineup of new zombies and survivors, a selection of new deadly weapons, and a new playable character, Dead Island Riptide is a game that offers its fans more of the same with a bit of tweaks and additions on the side. If you love the original Dead Island, you'll love this game as well.
