Dying Light vs The Survivalists
Dying Light
Dying Light is rather highly-acclaimed, survival-themed, first person parkour RPG that's set in the zombie-infested city of Harran. Here, you'll need to rely on your ability to run, leap and quickly climb your way across buildings and other structures of all shapes and sizes to avoid getting swarmed by zombies... and we've got to say, the zombies in this game isn't the slow sort. If you fancy a challenge, try going out during the night instead. Your first encounter with a Volatile will get your heart pumping a lot faster than it should!The missions in this game, especially the story-linked ones, are varied enough to keep you engaged, though some of the side missions may be somewhat repetitive. Of course, being a survival-like game, you'll need to scavenge the city for supplies to craft new and incredibly useful weapons or to augment the ones you already have, as long as you've got the blueprints needed. You can change how you look as well.
Dying Light made the zombie apocalypse a whole lot more fun with plenty of cool and smooth parkour moves, which admittedly makes sense if the zombies aren't at all climbers. The game has won plenty of awards and nominations too. If you're a fan of parkour games, this is one adrenaline-rushing game that you won't want to miss!
The Survivalists
The Survivalists is a survival-themed adventure game focusing on exploring a vast archipelago filled with hidden secrets and treasures as well as mysterious temples and dangerous terrains. The goal here is not only to make a life for yourself by recruiting and training the local monkeys to help with your many mundane chores, but to find a way to crack the mystery shrouding the archipelago and possibly find a way to finally escape!The Survivalists has a sandbox-style, survival-themed gameplay, which means that you’re expected to gather plenty of resources from the environment, use them to build a base of operations… or even multiple outposts and bases… and make sure you’ve got plenty of protection ready for when the local hostile tribesmen attack you, which they do from time to time.
The map here is simply amazing and if you just love exploring, you’ll find the island-hopping experience here pretty satisfying… that is once you’ve got your raft built. Of course, being set in the tropics, there isn’t a whole lot of different biomes to discover, though there are volcanic and swampy areas that are more dangerous than the normal terrain. Even the sea contains dangers and you’ll do well to avoid the ravenous sharks that are looking for an easy meal.
The best and most interesting part about The Survivalists that really help it stands out from all the other generic sandbox survival games is the fact that you can “recruit” monkeys on the island to help you with any mundane tasks. This encompasses all tasks that can be easily replicated by the monkeys. After all, monkey see, monkey do!
That being said, training your monkeys is, unfortunately, also the most frustrating part of the game. Unlike games with macros, you can’t really save the tasks you’ve taught your monkey as general macros that you can then use whenever you need the same tasks done sometime in the future. Instead, every time you need your monkeys to do something, you’ll have to teach it all over again… which frankly speaking is very annoying.
All in all, The Survivalists is as addictively fun as it looks. Being a survival-themed sandbox adventure, there is plenty of stuff you can craft, items to gather, loyal monkeys to train, and bases to set up as you slowly and steadily explore every inch of the massive archipelago. However, the game isn’t without its flaws and I personally think that the game could have made the monkey-training part a bit more convenient and less annoying for the player.
