Deadlight vs State of Decay
Deadlight
Deadlight is a dark game where you are a ranger called Randall Wayne in a zombie infested world in search of your wife and daughter. Now in Seattle you meet up with a group of refugees heading for what is known to be the last place left: Safe Point. Here your adventure begins, where you must avoid the Shadows (zombies) and the vicious New Law. And this is just the start of your story in this amazing homage to old style side scrolling games.As opposed to most zombie games, here you need to avoid and hide as much as possible as your weapons and supplies are limited. There are lots of cunning traps, places for you to climb, hide and destroy the zombies in your way. The design of the game really grabs you and its many layers and textures really make for a great experience.
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.
