Half Life vs Mini DayZ
Half Life
Half Life is the first game in the famous Half Life series that has gained a certain amount of infamy among gamers mainly because Valve has refused their fans' request to create a Half Life 3. That being said, the game itself is pretty old - released back in 1998 - and it was a shining gem of a game back in its time because of its amaing gameplay and engaging storyline. Unlike any other games in the 90s, Half Life manages to combine action and adventure along with a what-was-back-then a realistic world into one amazing package. The game also has a multiplayer mode that turns the game's many maps into arenas for you to play against your friends.Half Life is one of "those games" that almost every gamer (midcore and above) would at least have heard of before. It's as classic as classic games go. If you enjoy old-school games, Half Life is probably one of the first few games you'd want to play.
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.
