Dying Light vs TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
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!
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale is the standalone battle royale game mode for the mobile survival game, Thrive Island. Set in a pretty huge open world where you can craft a large variety of items and build shelters or even big buildings as a base of sorts at night. This game has a lot more "survival" gameplay rather than the somewhat intense "battle royale" fights since you are expected to gather resources and scavenge loot just so you can have the best gear to prepare you for the final fight for the title of victor royale!Unlike other battle royale games that have the iconic map-shrinking feature, this game did away with that. Instead, you need to hunt the land for your opponents, which may take awhile, but can be fun when you catch someone by surprise. Interestingly, the game even has a zombie mode where you can turn your slain foes into zombies. Not sure how this fit into the battle royale gameplay though.
All in all, TIO: Battlegrounds Royale feels a lot like a hardcore survival game rather than a battle royale mainly because it places emphasis on building a good shelter, gathering raw resources (as opposed to finding ready-made items) and well, crafting. The game is also a work-in-progress so you can expect a less-polished game that could use your feedback to improve.
