H1Z1: King of the Kill vs State of Decay
H1Z1: King of the Kill
H1Z1: King of the Kill is a competitive, battle royale-styled MMOTPS game set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone's fair game as you scavenge for supplies and materials to gain the upper hand. Gameplay-wise, the game is pretty fast-paced and intense especially when the map shrunk to a relatively small area, but of course, to be a pro, you'll need to put in the effort and the commitment to improve. Newcomers might find the skill ceiling a bit high though so you can expect to be fodder for quite sometime until you are familiar with the few maps available and know which stuff are hazards and which aren't.The shooting mechanics in this game is pretty arcade-like I suppose - it's the hit-or-miss type without the chance of getting glancing blows, and there might be a few weapons that might need adjusting - shotguns for example - but it's still okay overall. However, if you are to compare this game with another battle royale game like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), you'll find this game seriously lacking.
So, if you've got the cash to buy either H1Z1: King of the Kill or PUBG, we'd actually recommend getting PUBG since the game has a ton of players right now and you won't need to wait too long to get into a game. Not to mention, PUBG does have a lot of stuff that's better than H1Z1. But if you like having lots of skins or if you have a lower end PC, then H1Z1: King of the Kill might be your best bet.
State of Decay
State of Decay is a pretty unique zombie survival RPG that doesn't only feature a vast open world for you to explore but also allows you to build a base, fortify it and recruit survivors (NPCs), each with their own personalities and characteristics, that you encounter to join you. You can even ask them to join you as you venture out into the world to find more items. The game's crafting system is pretty in-depth as well along with an interesting scavenging system that allows you to speed up the process of scavenging but at the cost of potentially attracting surrounding zombies to swarm to your location. Aside from the many weapons available, tere are even a wide variety of vehicles for you to drive around and ram zombies with.Granted that the game still has some bugs and that the developers had earned a pretty bad rep for apparently releasing a patch as a separate DLC and wanting players to pay for it, State of Decay is still undoubtedly a very fun zombie survival game to play. If you can get the game at a discount, this game is definitely worth the price, especially for fans of the genre.
