Deeeep.io vs The Endless Forest
Deeeep.io
Deeeep.io is a really unique IO game which features a different sort of progression system while retaining the competitive aspect of all games within the new genre. In this game, there are many animal characters for you to play as, each of which has their own unique range of abilities. However, unlike most games, you can't choose the animals you play - You get to work your way up the food chain instead. If you do really well, you may end up being the whales, orcas, and sharks a.k.a. the top predators in that stretch of the sea.The game even has plenty of fun places to explore, and sometimes even hide in, just to avoid larger predators. Some animal characters, such as penguins and seagulls, even allow you to head up to the surface so you can battle other players there as well.
Deeeep.io isn't exactly like your conventional IO game. In fact, similar to Starve.io, it is part of a wave of innovative games which retained the sort of gameplay simplicity that can only be associated to IO games and yet provide players with a myriad of interesting games and game modes to play in.
If you do plan on giving this game a try, you might want to play the browser version instead. As reported by many players, the mobile version of the game has a lot of glitches.
The Endless Forest
The Endless Forest isn't exactly a game but more of a playable screensaver. When your computer goes to sleep, this program will run and your deer character will then appear in a seemingly endless forest. There's no objective or quests for you to complete here. Instead, you are given total freedom to explore the forest and if you're lucky, you may discover something special along the way.However, this is about to change because the developer behind this screensaver program decided to turn it into a full-blown MMO, allowing players from all over the world interact and play together as deers. There's no chat box in the game and instead, you'll need to learn to communicate as deers do, that is through sound and body movement. There will also be more places for you to explore, besides the endless forest, as well as fun and relaxing activities to do.
You can still download the screensaver version of The Endless Forest is you want to get an idea of what the game would be about - It's completely free, after all, but if you want to play the actual game, you might need to wait a bit since the game's still under development.
