How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition vs Novus Inceptio
How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition
How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition is a zombie-survival RPG that is quite the underappreciated gem among other games of the same genre. Featuring a rare (at least within the genre) isometric-like view of the world much like in Diablo, this game will have you rummaging through anything that may hide vital resources you'll need, ranging from food and water to a variety of crafting materials, in order to survive. You'll need to build a shelter for yourself as well just to have a safe and protected space free of both zombies and other natural threats.However, unlike most survival games, How to Survive features a hack-and-slash, twin-stick shooter-styled gameplay, which frankly explains why they opted for an isometric view rather than the more immersive first- or third-person perspective. The game even contains a skill tree for you to invest points in, and insanely in-depth crafting system, and an overall most satisfying game experience.
If you love the graphical and gameplay style of Last Day on Earth: Survival and yet are looking for a PC game equivalent that doesn't have any IAPs, How to Survive is definitely a game you'll want to check out. It is miles better than what any free-to-play survival game can be!
Novus Inceptio
Novus Inceptio has all the hallmarks of a great sandbox game in the making, despite still being in early access. Aside from its mysterious sci-fi theme, the game features a variety of fun anomalies (mini-worlds) where you can discover, explore and possibly piece together story snippets about the stuff that had happened in the past. The game also has a more complex and in-depth crafting system, auto-harvesting feature, and a potentially fun underwater exploration/harvesting aspect that will definitely elevate the overall gameplay quality. However, the developers definitely need to make sure the game’s fundamental features, such as its action-based combat system.In addition to being an indie game, Novus Inceptio is also a work-in-progress. However, from what can be seen and experienced, it already has most of the winning features it needs to “make it” in the sandbox genre. It has a very interesting anomaly game concept that allows players to discover and explore multiple mini-worlds. It also offers an in-depth crafting system and farming, though its building and combat aspects are still pretty rudimentary. If you enjoy playing survival/sandbox games, Novus Inceptio is a breathtaking game that you wouldn’t want to miss!
