Black Survival vs Horizon Source
Black Survival
Black Survival is a battle royale/survival game that will bring to mind games like PUBG and movies like the Hunger Games. However, as opposed to having plenty of players in a single game, Black Survival only houses up to 10 players on a deserted island. The island itself is segmented into 22 areas, each of which will gradually become "restricted areas" that drastically drain your health if you insist on staying in that area. It's also great that the game has a crafting aspect, allowing you to create hundreds of different weapons, tools and food items.Best yet, the game has an amazing myriad of characters for you to play as, each of them have their own backstories for you to discover. Characters are not all free, though you can literally play all of them by patiently waiting for the game's free character rotation. And of course, it also happens to be an anime-themed game... how many anime-themed battle royale games have you seen so far? (The answer is none except this one, by the way)
So, to sum up, Black Survival may have come out at just the right moment when the Battle Royale hype is at its peak thanks to popular games like PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale, but it managed to innovate the genre and provide players with a fresh new perspective to the genre. You can even play this game for free while you're on the go!
Horizon Source
Horizon Source is a battle royale game that many have dubbed as being the ultimate blend of PUBG, Fortnite and Overwatch... though graphics-wise, Fortnite is definitely the major influence. Similar to most games in the genre, you'll be dropped into a map where you'll then battle against other players in hopes of ending up being the last man standing. You can also build structures much like in Fortnite and resources are pretty much plentiful in the game. The gameplay feels a lot better as well - expect to be rewarded with more kills for having a good aim.However, unlike the others, this game only has a 4-man team-based game mode so you can't really play the game solo as of yet. There are other game modes as well, including a zombie mode, but these aren't ready so far. Interestingly, the game also gives you the option of playing in first or third person view. Naturally, playing in third-person can be more advantageous to you since you can see your surroundings better. There are no drivable vehicles in this game though.
Despite the many random bugs, lack of an EU server, some character balancing issue, and broken English, Horizon Source seems to be a real contender on PC against established battle royale titles like PUBG and Fortnite. The game can be incredibly addictive and fun to play. So, if you enjoy playing battle royale games, Horizon Source is a game you'll want to try!
