7 Days to Die vs The Last of Us
7 Days to Die
7 Days to Die is a pretty hardcore zombie survival game set in a vast, randomly-generated, post-apocalytic world where you are apparently the sole survivor (unless you are playing it on multiplayer mode with your friends). Being the hardcore game that it is, you will literally start the game with almost nothing to your name. You'll be required to collect resources from the environment and scavenge for items by scouring the many abandoned buildings while trying to avoid attracting any zombies' attention in order to craft a variety of useful items as well as to... well, stay alive! You can also customize your gameplay by adjusting the settings, which honestly we would recommend for your first playthrough because the zombies in this game are actually really tough to kill.Aside from its "lose everything when you die" hardcore-ness (which is adjustable to be less hardcore-ish via the settings), the most interesting part about this game is the fact that you can choose a nice building to turn into your base by clearing out the zombies in it, barricade it the best you can and start hoarding a ton of materials and supplies. The only major downside to the game though is its cringy, old-timey graphics. Sometimes, collision doesn't work as well.
Besides the comically bad graphics (for this day and age anyway, but bear in mind that the game's indie), 7 Days to Die is definitely a game that will appeal to hardcore survival fans as the game can be modified to be your worst zombie nightmore or it can be toned down to a somewhat casual post-apocalyptic adventure. Even so, do you think you've got what it takes to be the ultimate survivor?
The Last of Us
The Last of Us is one of the most critically-acclaimed adventure game, mainly because of the incredibly well-written and paced as well as emotionally-charged storyline that purportedly can make most grown men weep. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where infected humans or hostile survivors roam abound, you'll play as Joel, a mercenary who was hired to smuggle a 14-year-old girl, Ellie, out from the military quarantine zone. However, as you might expect, things went wrong and you'll find yourself making the journey the gruelling way instead.The Last of Us has won multiple awards and nominations since its release and has been touted as one of the most well-made console game for 2013. This is not at all surprising considering how well the game was made and how amazing both the graphics and the sound complement each other.
