S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl vs Standoff 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the first of a hugely popular post-apocalyptic-themed, first-person, survival-horror shooter which might have just amassed a cult following. Set in 2012, almost two decades after the worst nuclear disaster occured at the Chernobyl power station and around 6 years after a second explosion rocked the damaged reactor, causing various anomalies to ripple open and from them came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and also rare artifacts that are somehow imbued with powerful anomalous energy... artifacts that many would kill to have.Since then, the existence of such artifacts have brought forth groups of "stalkers", scavengers who scour the cordoned areas around Chernobyl for these very objects... and in this game, you play as one of them.
The game has risen to acclamation partly due to the terrifying, nightmarish creatures that the game contains, in addition to the brilliantly immersive storyline and an incredibly realistic game environemnt that's modelled after its real-world counterpart deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The gameplay is excellent as well. The game has accurate ballstics and combat mechanics, as well as a challenging survival aspect that is further made difficult due to the impact day and night, and the weather system has on the environment. There is also a multiplayer mode that can support up to 32 players.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and as such, many aspects of the game aren't really up to scratch by today's standards at least. If you do plan on getting this game, you might want to download some mods to help improve the game somewhat.
Standoff 2
Standoff 2 is an intense yet entertaining MMOFPS game where you get to either play for the terrorists or the special forces in a team-based shootout. The game features several maps as well as 3 exciting and competitive game modes, namely "Deathmatch", "Defuse the bomb", "Arms race" and "Tournaments". As you might expect, the game also offers a ton of fancy and cool skins for your weapons and a way for you to trade them with other players. The game even has an in-depth social system that allows players to message each other, use both text and voice chat to communicate while in-game, and add other players as friends.If you have always enjoyed playing Counter-Strike or games like it, Standoff 2 is basically a really well-polished version of that exact same game which you can play on your mobile devices while you're on the go.
