Durango: Wild Lands vs State of Decay 2
Durango: Wild Lands
Durango: Wild Lands , developed by Nexon, is an open world survival game that is set in a primitive time, and yet, due to some weird time warp, you will still have access to modern-day weapons and other items. The game features an in-depth crafting system where you can convert the resources you've painstakingly accumulated into better goods, tools, or even as building parts to construct your home base. Unlike Last Day on Earth: Survival or Jurassic Survival, this game also provides players with trading system that is pretty much player-driven, plenty of new islands to explore, as well as exciting real-time co-op battles against enemy clans and huge dinosaurs.Although the game is still in closed beta, it has shown so much potential to be an even more addictive game than Last Day on Earth: Survival due to its open world gameplay. In fact, it feels a lot like one of those massive standalone RPGs that you play in PC or consoles which have been somehow condensed into the relatively tiny mobile device in your hand. So, if you're interested to give the game a try, you can try to become a beta tester by signing up on the website or you can stay tuned to updates from the game by subscribing to its newsletter.
State of Decay 2
State of Decay 2 is the highly-anticipated and long-awaited sequel to one of the top zombie-survival action-shooters out there, State of Decay. Unlike the original game, this installment has a bit more community management in it rather than simply trying to survive as a lone wolf. Each survivor has their own set of traits, skills, and attitudes that you'll need to keep balanced so that your community will thrive rather than succumb to in-fighting and general discontent.In this game, you can assign tasks to each survivor, upgrade your base, help the community solve its issues (through completing personal quests, heeding advice, or resolving disputes), and of course, recruit more survivors to join your band. State of Decay 2 will also feature a co-op mode - It's about time! - where you can try to survive with up to 3 of your friends. Not to mention, like its predecessor, the game is set in a massive open world that you're free to explore.
State of Decay 2 is definitely among the few biggest games that fans of zombie-survival games but I'm sad to say that although the game does improve on the original, the improvements are just too little and too insignificant. The game is still as shallow as before and the game gets boring and stale pretty quickly (just a couple of hours in). The game might still be worth buying on a steep discount.
