Highrisers vs Horizon Forbidden West
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West lets you join Aloy in the 2nd part of her journey. This time, you will explore the picturesque and majestic yet perilous frontier of the now-ruined city of San Francisco set in the far-flung future. You’ll recognize various landmarks, sunken or otherwise, including the Golden Gate Bridge.As the series heroine, you will investigate the sources of vicious storms and blight, threatening to destroy the land and wipe out the remaining enclaves of humanity and life on Earth itself. Aloy needs to restore balance to the world and uncover the mysteries behind these events. Unfortunately, things aren’t straightforward since she has to contend with new and familiar enemies. You’ll need to deal with snake-like machines, humongous elephants, as well as those that exist underwater. Moreover, hostile human tribes are more advanced since they now mount machines of their own and are capable of controlling combat-class machines bent on destruction. Thankfully, Aloy still has her trusty bow and spear, able to take out enemies using her arsenal of arrows and advanced combat abilities.
Horizon Forbidden West is one of PlayStation’s first exclusives in this new console generation (though it’s compatible with the PS4), and it promises to be another adventure worth undertaking.
