Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare vs State of Decay 2
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare is the perfect game for players who enjoys the craziness in the whimsical Plants vs Zombies but longed for third-person, multiplayer battles. Unlike its tower-defense origins, this incredible spin-off transcends its humble beginnings and puts you into the shoes, or roots, of a zombie or a plant of your choice and throws you right into a huge battlefield where either the defenders (the plants) or the invaders (the zombies) will win.There are plenty of fun game modes, such as stealing the other team's tacos, to play in addition to the usual MMO shooter modes which can house up to 24-players in total, as well as entertaining 4-player co-op matches. Aside from an amazing gameplay, the game even boasts of a wide range of customizations, allowing you to create the goofiest zombie or plant around!
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare is a great spin-off that brought a primarily single-player game series into the multiplayer arena... and it did so quite successfully, so much so that the spin-off has a sequel of its own!
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.
