How to Survive 2 vs Open Sewer
How to Survive 2
How to Survive 2 is the sequel to what was a really well-received zombie-survival game. The gameplay here is pretty similar to the original where you'll be farming the environment for resources and return to your base to craft new items and upgrade existing stuff. You can also furnish your base and improve it so as to withstand stronger attacks from roaming zombie hordes. The game even provides a much deeper crafting system, allowing you to create over hundreds of items.However, as many players have noted, the game has changed direction and is designed for multiplayer play, and considering that the game doesn't really have a lot of players now, it can admittedly get kind of boring. This can easily be fixed by adding some random events into the game, but apparently, this is not going to happen.
If you get the game on a discounted price, How to Survive is definitely a good buy. The game is perfect for fans of the original and although it can be quite repetitive at times, if you like that kind of thing, you'll enjoy this game for sure.
Open Sewer
Open Sewer is an RPG/simulation game where you’ll not only get to manage your own apartment block, but to also scour the grime-covered streets for precious bottles to recycle and earn some cash from. There are plenty of characters to meet and perhaps get quests from, as well as plenty more crafting options using materials that you can either collect from dumpster diving, trash picking or drain fishing, or buy from the local stores. Although the map is currently pretty small for an open world game, there are many places for you to explore within the city... and if you're lucky, you may even find a whole stash of resources that you can repurpose for your own benefit!The whole concept behind the game and also its implementation is impressive, to say the least! Open Sewer has all the makings of a successful indie hit, but there are still many bugs to fix and rooms to improve (the game's currently in early access). Hopefully, if the developers do truly take the players' suggestions and feedback into account, Open Sewer might just go mainstream!
