Shelter 2 vs Zen Koi 2
Shelter 2
Shelter 2 is a simulation/RPG where you play as a lynx, an animal that lives out on the cold tundra and is somewhere in the middle of the food chain. In this game, you start as a pregnant lynx who's looking for a safe space to give birth and rear your cubs. You'll get to experience parenthood from the perspective of an animal and the experience can be pretty immersive thanks to the many maternal and hunting features available, including calling the cubs to move closer to you and smelling the air for any prey nearby. The game is a lot richer in terms of its diversity than the original game as well, and you'll get access to a lot more movements and jumps, giving you the range of movements you'd come to expect for a graceful animal like the lynx.Although the graphics here may be an acquired taste, Shelter 2 is still a masterpiece of a game and is definitely the sort of game you'll want to play if you love playing animal games where you're placed in the paws of said animal.
Zen Koi 2
Zen Koi 2 is the exciting sequel to the popular breakout casual simulation game where you get to own a pond filled with beautiful and varied Japanese carps, and breed them to get new patterns to complete your collection. Following in the success of the original game, Zen Koi 2 offers fans and new players alike the same meditative and relaxing gameplay it became popular for while providing brand-new Koi patterns to collect.However, the main selling point of this installment is its highly-anticipated new game feature - the ability to decorate your own fish pond. The game even has a new Dragon Realm where you can play with your dragon-ascended Kois.
Being recently-launched, Zen Koi 2 may not have the player numbers that its original enjoyed, but this sequel is definitely better than the latter in so many ways. If you love Zen Koi, you'll most certainly enjoy playing Zen Koi 2!
