Days Gone vs Rise of the Tomb Raider
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.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rise of the Tomb Raider lets you step into the shoes of the world's coolest female treasure hunter ever, Lara Croft, and set off on a brand-new thrilling adventure across Siberia in a race against a ruthless organization, the Trinity, to find the Lost City of Kitezh. As opposed to the older versions of the game, Lara will not only have to battle members of the Trinity but also the wildlife in the region so as to scavenge rare resources to craft new weapons and items. There are more ways for you to engage the enemy, including multiple forms of stealth-based takedowns that may remind you of the gameplay in games like Assassin's Creed, distractions and of course, the Rambo-styled, all-out frontal attack.Being a treasure hunter, you'll also get to explore a wide variety of tombs, each filled with intriguing puzzles, well-hidden traps and a ton of secrets to uncover. If you get the 20 Year Celebration version, you will also get bonus content like Blood Ties which will let you explore Croft Manor and Lara's Nightmare that will pit you against hordes of zombies as well as several co-op game modes like the Co-op Endurance mode which will let you test your survival skills with a friend.
Rise of the Tomb Raider may not be as awesome as the 2013 installment of the series, but it's a close second. Not to mention, if you're the sort who's really particular about the graphics, you might want to grab this game instead. It's the latest, and hence, the most graphically-pleasing Tomb Raider game, you'll get!
