State of Decay 2 vs Watch Dogs 2
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.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 puts you into the shoes of another brilliant young hacker by the name of Marcus Holloway. This time though, you'll need to join forces with DedSec, a notorious and anonymous group of hackers, to carry out the largest hack of the century to shut down ctOS 2.0, an operating system that has been hijacked by criminal masterminds to stalk and manipulate people on a global scale. Featuring a similarly massive open world set in the San Francisco Bay Area for you to explore, you'll need to use whatever hacking tools you have at your disposal to ensure the success of your missions. The game also offers multiplayer modes where you can play with your friends or against them.However, the best part about this game is the unique eye-tracking feature, allowing you to rapidly target enemies and interact with your surroundings. Granted that not all (well, most) PCs or laptops can run this feature, but for those who can, this little yet significant feature can be incredibly game experience-changing!
Watch Dogs 2 truly pushes the boundaries of what a game can do simply with its eye-tracking feature. Not to mention, if you've been a bit disappointed in the first game, you'll find that this game has improved on almost every aspect possible, especially its diverse characters and deep and meaningful missions. You'll be happy with your purchase for sure!
