Killing Floor vs State of Decay 2
Killing Floor
Killing Floor is an intense survival horror first-person shooter game that is set in the post-apocalyptic and devastatingly ruined country of England where a series of military-sanctioned cloning experiments had gone awry. Play with up to 6 of your friends cooperatively as you attempt to survive for long enough to clear the area you are airdropped into of any zombies or you can simply play solo. Unlike most similar games, Killing Floor has a non-linear gameplay where you can actually weld doors shut to redirect waves of zombies. The gameplay is also more tactically sound rather than the bullet-hell stuff you'd experience in some of the more arcade-like shooters.In addition to having an arsenal of weapons for you to choose from, the game also features a persistent perks system which lets you to convert your in-game achievements into permanent improvements for your character's skills and abilities. The game even has mod support, so you can create new levels and mods for the game and share them with the world.
Killing Floor may be a rather old game, but it's still as fun as it was before. The cooperative gameplay guarantees hours of fun (as well as yelling and perhaps cussing) for both you and your friends as you try to stem the tide of zombies rushing towards you.
State of Decay 2
State of Decay 2 is the highly-anticipated and long-awaited sequel to one of the top zombie-survival action-shooters out there, State of Decay. Unlike the original game, this installment has a bit more community management in it rather than simply trying to survive as a lone wolf. Each survivor has their own set of traits, skills, and attitudes that you'll need to keep balanced so that your community will thrive rather than succumb to in-fighting and general discontent.In this game, you can assign tasks to each survivor, upgrade your base, help the community solve its issues (through completing personal quests, heeding advice, or resolving disputes), and of course, recruit more survivors to join your band. State of Decay 2 will also feature a co-op mode - It's about time! - where you can try to survive with up to 3 of your friends. Not to mention, like its predecessor, the game is set in a massive open world that you're free to explore.
State of Decay 2 is definitely among the few biggest games that fans of zombie-survival games but I'm sad to say that although the game does improve on the original, the improvements are just too little and too insignificant. The game is still as shallow as before and the game gets boring and stale pretty quickly (just a couple of hours in). The game might still be worth buying on a steep discount.
