Dark Souls: Prepare to Die vs Rust
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die is one of the scariest and hardcore action role-playing game that's set in a dark fantasy world filled with demons, monsters, and even dragons. Unlike most games where dying is heavily penalized, this game actually lets you use every one of your deaths as a stepping stone to learn the where to avoid and where to press on... so expect to die... a lot. Sometimes, the deaths of the other players - their spirits, so to speak - will also show up in your game so you can learn from their mistakes before you atttempt a challenging part of the game.By playing, you'll be able to improve your mastery over weapons, spells, and other combat mechanics which will in turn help you progress and access tougher challenges. This Prepare to Die edition also features new mechanics, including Bonfires which serve as check points and will replenish your health and magic but at a pretty heavy cost - all the mobs you've killed will respawn. Dark Souls is a networked game and as such, you may bump into other players while dungeon crawling which may result in an impromptu PvP battle, or you can also work together with other players to take down difficult bosses.
Dark Souls have earned a name of itself for being incredibly punishing - there will be a lot of dying - and for being creepy as af, but it is also a game that's pretty unique, and to some extent, revolutionary since many of the game mechanics present in this game isn't even heard of let alone used in any other games.
Rust
Rust is hardcore survival game where the only aim for every player in the game is to survive. Being a survival game, your character will have needs that you'll need to fulfill or risk getting ill or worse... dying from it. There are tons of recipes for you to craft a wide variety of items from as long as you've got the resources you need, and you can also hunt and built a shelter.As fun as this game may sound, the community in this game can be a bit toxic. Most players have a kill-on-sight policy (even if you're naked and literally have nothing with you) and this means playing alone can be very frustrating. If you're planning to play this game, you might want to get a larger group of friends - maybe somewhere around 5 or more players - or you'll quickly realize you want your money back now.
