How to Survive 2 vs Sheltered
How to Survive 2
How to Survive 2 is the sequel to what was a really well-received zombie-survival game. The gameplay here is pretty similar to the original where you'll be farming the environment for resources and return to your base to craft new items and upgrade existing stuff. You can also furnish your base and improve it so as to withstand stronger attacks from roaming zombie hordes. The game even provides a much deeper crafting system, allowing you to create over hundreds of items.However, as many players have noted, the game has changed direction and is designed for multiplayer play, and considering that the game doesn't really have a lot of players now, it can admittedly get kind of boring. This can easily be fixed by adding some random events into the game, but apparently, this is not going to happen.
If you get the game on a discounted price, How to Survive is definitely a good buy. The game is perfect for fans of the original and although it can be quite repetitive at times, if you like that kind of thing, you'll enjoy this game for sure.
Sheltered
Sheltered is, in some way, a mixture of the survival management gameplay that Fallout Shelter has popularized and the emotional rollercoaster that This War of Mine puts you through, all rolled into a single game. In this game, you play as the protector of a family of four who managed to make their way to a deserted shelter in a dreary, post-apocalyptic world. Like Fallout Shelter, you can plan, build and expand your bunker to accommodate more facilities and resources you've scavenged from your daily expeditions above ground.However, like This War of Mine, the game presents you with a ton of randomly selected scenarios, most of which will put you in a moral dilemma as you are forced to choose between forsaking your family's survival or your humanity/morality. As your bunker grows, you can also recruit more people to join you. Knowing who to trust enough to allow them access to your shelter is another dilemma that you'll probably need to face in this game.
Sheltered is the perfectly-designed game for players who find Fallout Shelter a bit too casual for their liking and This War of Mine a bit too restricted. If you' like what you've read so far, then do get the game from Steam. You can thank me later!
