Aground vs Dead Island
Aground
Aground is a 2D, side-scrolling, survival-themed adventure game where you'll be digging out the bowels of the earth for precious ores to turn into tools, weapons, and armor or to sell to gain coins. Similar to games like Kingdom: Classic or its sequel, Kingdom: New Lands, the game will have you venture out to explore new islands to discover more about the story behind the land, to meet new characters and to obtain better resources to craft superior items.The storyline in this game is pretty intriguing as well. It features a Bermuda Triangle-like area where people often get shipwrecked and are washed up to one of the shores of the small archipelago. The islands are filled with weird creatures and is rich with minerals and resources. As survivors starting from scratch, they do not have access to the technologies they used to enjoy that is until apparently a mysterious tribe, called the Mirrows, helped to set stuff up.
Aground offers players the sort of freedom that Minecraft is able to provide and yet, is not fully a sandbox game nor does it have a procedurally generated map. Of course, this game has a great storyline, along with quests to help drive those plot points forward, and that alone makes it a really fun game to play.
Dead Island
Dead Island is a first-person, zombie-themed action game that is set in an open world tropical island getaway called Banoi. With a compelling storyline to keep you hooked, the game's campaign features scavenging for parts as well as crafting and augmenting weapons (mostly melee) in addition to the whole smashing zombies' brains in gameplay. Not to mention, you can even play cooperatively up to four players.The character progression in this game is simply astounding as well, allowing you to develop your character based on your preferences.So, to sum up, if you love zombie-slaying/bashing and you don't think The Walking Dead has enough of it, then you'll enjoy playing Dead Island.
