Dead Island vs Fallout: New Vegas
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.
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is what many hardcore fans of the popular game franchise called a "spin-off" but even so, the game is incredibly well-done in terms of its gameplay and graphics. You'll get to experience a whole new "world" (the map of post-apocalyptic Vegas... a.k.a. New Vegas) filled with plenty of hidden secrets and interesting quests to discover. There is also a more intriguing connection between the characters in this game, allowing for an epic power struggle between factions to realistically play out... with some nudging of your own, of course.The game even boasts of a new features like a companion wheel so you can order your companion around in a smoother manner, as well as a weapon configuration system that may not be as in-depth as in Fallout 4 but it definitely paves the way to the incredible weapon crafting/customization system that the game uses today.
The most unfortunate part about this game though is that it's riddled with quite a lot of glitches - none of which are truly gamebreaking but they can be rather immersion-breaking. Nonetheless, despite being kind of like the black sheep in the family, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic open world RPG with one of the creepiest Fallout DLCs (IMHO).
