Escape Dead Island vs Left4Dead 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.
Left4Dead 2
Left4Dead 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Left4Dead. Featuring a brand new adventure and cast of characters as well as a wider variety of zombie-slaying weapons to choose from, Left4Dead 2 enjoyed an even higher level of success than the original. However, the game does have a bit of a rep for having a pretty toxic community when it comes to the game's multiplayer-based Versus mode. Apparently, anything less than perfection isn't tolerated among most players in the community so if possible, it's best to just play with the friends you already know.In short, Left4Dead 2 provides a refresh new experience, even for veterans of Left4Dead, and an exciting gameplay that fans of shooter games will likely enjoy. It is possibly the last game in the series since oddly enough, Valve is adverse the the number 3 as popular rumours go. Well, until then, mods will help to further extent the lifespan of this game far beyond 8 years (it was released in 2009).
