Escape Dead Island vs Killing Floor 2
Escape Dead Island
Escape Dead Island is a Telltale-inspired, story-driven survival-mystery spin-off for the Dead Island franchise where the game's fans will be able to uncover the story behind the zombie outbreak through the eyes of documentary journalist Cliff Calo and fill in the gap between the first Dead Island game and the upcoming Dead Island sequel. Unlike the open world game that the franchise was defined by, this spin-off uses a comic-like style to bring the story to life. The virtual environment is also reactive to your every decision and as such, you might want to sometimes opt for a stealthier option rather than diving straight into combat, especially when the combat system - since it's not the main focus of the game and all - can be a bit boring.Escape Dead Island is very different from what you might be used to in Dead Island or Dead Island Riptide, and despite the heavy use of backtracking, the story and animation made everything worthwhile, especially if you're into this kind of stuff.
Killing Floor 2
Killing Floor 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the popular survival horror first-person shooter game, Killing Floor. This time around though, players will be venturing out from England into continental Europe where the failed experiment apparently has massive impact on as well. With civilization in disarray, the remnants of humanity has banded together to combat the massive hordes of zombies and set up bases across Europe. Playing as one of the remaining and well-trained mercenaries, you'll once again descend into the bowels of the outbreak and clear out hot zones for the survivors to reclaim.Similar to the original, Killing Floor 2 has a co-op (up to 6 players) option or you can simply play the single player mode. Interestingly, the game has added a new 12-player PvP mode where two teams of players take turns playing as humans and zombies. The team with the highest score will naturally win. The perk progression system is also expanded in this sequel, allowing players to invest in meaningful talents that will help them find a handful of skills that fit their respective play styles. Interestingly, the game has reworked its melee combat, giving melee fights more of a structure rather than simply slashing and smashing.
With so many improved features but still retaining the same good old zombie-killing mania, Killing Floor 2 is the sequel that the game series deserve. Enjoy hilariously crazy moments of caving zombies' heads in or blowing them right off with your friends by your side!
