State of Decay vs TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
State of Decay
State of Decay is a pretty unique zombie survival RPG that doesn't only feature a vast open world for you to explore but also allows you to build a base, fortify it and recruit survivors (NPCs), each with their own personalities and characteristics, that you encounter to join you. You can even ask them to join you as you venture out into the world to find more items. The game's crafting system is pretty in-depth as well along with an interesting scavenging system that allows you to speed up the process of scavenging but at the cost of potentially attracting surrounding zombies to swarm to your location. Aside from the many weapons available, tere are even a wide variety of vehicles for you to drive around and ram zombies with.Granted that the game still has some bugs and that the developers had earned a pretty bad rep for apparently releasing a patch as a separate DLC and wanting players to pay for it, State of Decay is still undoubtedly a very fun zombie survival game to play. If you can get the game at a discount, this game is definitely worth the price, especially for fans of the genre.
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale is the standalone battle royale game mode for the mobile survival game, Thrive Island. Set in a pretty huge open world where you can craft a large variety of items and build shelters or even big buildings as a base of sorts at night. This game has a lot more "survival" gameplay rather than the somewhat intense "battle royale" fights since you are expected to gather resources and scavenge loot just so you can have the best gear to prepare you for the final fight for the title of victor royale!Unlike other battle royale games that have the iconic map-shrinking feature, this game did away with that. Instead, you need to hunt the land for your opponents, which may take awhile, but can be fun when you catch someone by surprise. Interestingly, the game even has a zombie mode where you can turn your slain foes into zombies. Not sure how this fit into the battle royale gameplay though.
All in all, TIO: Battlegrounds Royale feels a lot like a hardcore survival game rather than a battle royale mainly because it places emphasis on building a good shelter, gathering raw resources (as opposed to finding ready-made items) and well, crafting. The game is also a work-in-progress so you can expect a less-polished game that could use your feedback to improve.
