Days Gone vs State of Decay
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.
State of Decay
State of Decay is a pretty unique zombie survival RPG that doesn't only feature a vast open world for you to explore but also allows you to build a base, fortify it and recruit survivors (NPCs), each with their own personalities and characteristics, that you encounter to join you. You can even ask them to join you as you venture out into the world to find more items. The game's crafting system is pretty in-depth as well along with an interesting scavenging system that allows you to speed up the process of scavenging but at the cost of potentially attracting surrounding zombies to swarm to your location. Aside from the many weapons available, tere are even a wide variety of vehicles for you to drive around and ram zombies with.Granted that the game still has some bugs and that the developers had earned a pretty bad rep for apparently releasing a patch as a separate DLC and wanting players to pay for it, State of Decay is still undoubtedly a very fun zombie survival game to play. If you can get the game at a discount, this game is definitely worth the price, especially for fans of the genre.
