DayZ vs Left4Dead
DayZ
DayZ is a survival-themed, first person MMO game set in a post-apocalyptic world that's utterly devastated by a virulent disease. The game provides players with a beautiful yet dangerous map of Chernarus, a post soviet state to explore and to scavenge for whatever resources - as sparse as they may be - that you can find. Craft a wide variety of useful items or use the materials you have to improve or customize the equipment and weapons you already have... literally every item in this game can be upgraded. You can customize the look of your survivor with a wide variety of clothing too.Previously a mod for the game, Arma III, DayZ had come a long way to now being a standalone game. Unfortunately, the game is famous for its player-breaking bugs and glitches, and well, this is pretty understandable considering that the game's still in its early access phase. Due to this, even the most hardcore proponents of this game, the ones who has put in hundreds of hours into this game, will advise you to not get this game unless you truly want to help out with the game's development. If not, the game is more frustrating than it is fun, as exciting as the concept of the game may be, and we would not recommend you to get this game in its current state.
Left4Dead
Left4Dead is among one of the very first popular zombie-themed shooters that has evolved from being simply a single player experience into a multiplayer game that almost every 90s gamer have played in LAN sessions or at cyber cafes... or have at least heard of it. Developed by Valve, the game features a wide variety of zombies, each with their own special abilities; relatable characters and an urgency to reach the next safe house due to the waves after waves of zombies that make you feel like you are actually trying to fight for your own life! There are plenty of interesting locations and unique scenarios for you to enjoy, allowing players to break the monotony of fending off endless hordes of zombies.Once you're done with the campaign, there is even a multiplayer aspect which will allow you to play with your friends against another team of your friends as either the human survivors or as the ravenous zombies. Admittedly, the multiplayer mode is the perfect addition to the game as it drastically expanded the game's lifespan.
All in all, Left4Dead is the first of a hugely popular series of games that many are still clamoring for a sequel until today. The graphics and gameplay may feel rather outdated in this day and age but if you have a soft spot for "old but gold" games, this is one of the more modern classics that you should really try.
