Highrisers vs The Walking Dead: Season One
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
The Walking Dead: Season One
The Walking Dead: Season One is the first of the 3-season, story-based game series, The Walking Dead, from Telltale Games and it has rapidly rose to fame partly because the TV series of the same name was (and is still) incredibly popular, but mainly because of the powerful writing and animations that are enough to make even grown men weep. The story in this game puts you in the shoes of Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who is given a second chance in a post-apocalyptic world filled with the undead - a second chance that came in the form of a young orphaned girl, Clementine. With the girl in tow, he vows to protect her at all costs in his own personal quest for redemption. This season contains 5 episodes in total, namely A New Day, Starved for Help, Long Road Ahead, Around Every Corner and No Time Left.The most interesting part about this game is that you'll be given the chance to make critical decisions that may drastically change the path of the plotline, resulting in a very different ending. Much like the gamebooks of old, this game offers multiple endings for you to discover. Sometimes, you'll even have to make important decisions within a limited time (almost immediately, in fact), enhancing the immersion and realism of the story itself.
Garnered over 90 Game of the Year awards, The Walking Dead: Season One will definitely provide players with plenty of nice side stories in addition to the main plotline where you can meet various famous characters in the TV shows before they all ended up in the same city where the first few episodes of the TV show were set in. This is a game that fans of The Walking Dead or of a good story-rich game shoulsn't miss out on!
