BioShock vs Mini DayZ
BioShock
BioShock is one of the most highly acclaimed steampunk-themed shooters that has a very interesting twist - your very character's DNA can be modified through the use of a selection of plasmids and a special resource called ADAM, allowing you to have superhuman abilities which will serve you well, sometimes more so than the weapon you wield, in your adventure through the fallen underwater city of Rapture. Aside from the many violent mad men (a.k.a. Splicers), the game also provides players with challeging encounters with the iconic Big Daddies and Little Sisters.When it comes to non-military-styled shooters with an intensely immersive storyline, BioShock is among the handful of the "best of the best" (which includes the Fallout series, the Borderlands series, the Deus Ex series and others). The game boasts of having a rather dark storyline that actually challenges you to think about it in a more in-depth way; to link all the clues together to get the complete narrative that is surprisingly a lot more engaging that you'd expect.
2K Games has just released the remastered version of the very first Bioshock last year and if you can get it on Steam, you really should. The very unique experience it can offer you is very well worth the cost.
Mini DayZ
Mini DayZ is a brilliant survival game in which you have to outlast the zombie apocalypse as well as anything hostile that might just kill you. The game includes an open world map full of resources and zombies on the move. You can and should harvest resources, grow plants, build a base and craft a wide variety of new tools, weapons and items that will help you survive the next couple of days. There are plenty of AI survivors you can meet as well, some of whom are friendly while others are hostile. If you play the game on its multiplayer mode, you may even encounter other players too.The absolute best thing about this game is that Mini Dayz is completely, 100% free-to-play. There are no in-app purchases whatsoever! So, if you do find yourself being beaten to death by another player with a baseball bat, you'll have no one else but yourself to blame.
With exciting crafting options and a harcore gameplay where your survival needs come first and foremost, the game is a brilliant addition to the survival game genre, especially considering there aren't many great ones on the mobile platform. It is a pretty good alternative to Last Day on Earth to be honest, so if you're a fan of the latter, you might want to check this out.
