Durango: Wild Lands vs RimWorld
Durango: Wild Lands
Durango: Wild Lands , developed by Nexon, is an open world survival game that is set in a primitive time, and yet, due to some weird time warp, you will still have access to modern-day weapons and other items. The game features an in-depth crafting system where you can convert the resources you've painstakingly accumulated into better goods, tools, or even as building parts to construct your home base. Unlike Last Day on Earth: Survival or Jurassic Survival, this game also provides players with trading system that is pretty much player-driven, plenty of new islands to explore, as well as exciting real-time co-op battles against enemy clans and huge dinosaurs.Although the game is still in closed beta, it has shown so much potential to be an even more addictive game than Last Day on Earth: Survival due to its open world gameplay. In fact, it feels a lot like one of those massive standalone RPGs that you play in PC or consoles which have been somehow condensed into the relatively tiny mobile device in your hand. So, if you're interested to give the game a try, you can try to become a beta tester by signing up on the website or you can stay tuned to updates from the game by subscribing to its newsletter.
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
