Far Cry Primal vs State of Decay 2
Far Cry Primal
Far Cry Primal drastically deviates from the usual adventure-shooter game that defined the Far Cry franchise and instead opted to set this game in the Stone Age where humans fight using primitive weapons like spears, and bows and arrows. Being the first of its kind, the game lets you experience the thrill of playing as your ancestors in the resource-rich land of Oros where massive mammoths and sabertooth tigers roam freely. In this game, you'll need to prove your worth and become the apex predator by hunting down dangerous creatures and defeating enemy tribes.Aside from improved and nicely refined mechanics and a refreshingly new theme, Far Cry Primal also has incredible immersion that's not only restricted to its amazing graphics but also the ancient Proto-Indo-European language (with English subtitles) used in the game. There are tons of stuff for you to craft as well. However, the game is a lot shorter than Far Cry 4 and well, although it's realistic, travelling from one location to another feels rather slow (no vehicles). All in all, we'd say that Far Cry Primal is perfect for players who enjoy a chance of scenery.
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.
