Days Gone vs Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
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.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the best games when it comes to the Lord of the Rings franchise... and yes, as much as we've enjoyed it, this means this game is way better than Lord of the Rings Online. Featuring a gameplay that may bring to mind other action-oriented RPGs like Assassin's Creed, Batman: Arkham and even Prince of Persia, Shadow of Mordor is a game that rewards stealthy attacks and yet if you prefer going after your opponents head-on, you can. Of course, the game is literally covered - oozing, in fact - with sweet, honey-like lore from the Lord of the Rings universe, and its graphics and soundtracks are simply superb.That said, the best part in this game is how everything major thing you do has an impact on the virtual world and this is best seen through the game's revolutionary Nemesis system. As the game progresses, you'll also unlock a wide variety of really cool abilities, one of which will allow you to mind-control orcs and turn them into your very own personal army.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is perhaps one of the best RPGs out there that, despite its not-so-short 3 years on the market, the game has garnered overwhemingly positive reviews from both critics and fans alike.
