Alien: Isolation vs Keplerth: Another World
Alien: Isolation
Alien: Isolation is a horror-survival adventure game that is set in the terrifying Alien universe fifteen years after the last events in the Alien movie. In this game, you'll play as Amanda, the daughter of the missing Ellen Ripley, who is driven by a need to know the truth behind Ellen's disappearance, embarks on an ill-prepared trip to a remote trading station Sevastopol. However, once your crew arrived, you immediately sensed that something's wrong. In a race against time, you'll need to scavenge resources and improvise along the way while knowing that your every move is being stalked by an Alien predator... and that your time here is becoming shorter every passing second.Alien: Isolation is possibly one of the most horrifying, story-driven game on Steam and that will most certainly knock your socks off when it comes to the fear department. If you're looking for a game that will give you a good solid scare, this is a game you can buy!
Keplerth: Another World
Keplerth: Another World is a sandbox-survival game where you'll need to go out into the world to gather the resources you need and turn them into useful items via various the workbench and other crafting stations. If you have played Rimworld, you may quickly notice the similarities in terms of the graphics and the "feel" between those two games. However, the gameplay is slightly different since it resembles the game Don't Starve rather than Rimworld in which you control a main character and all you have to do is to make sure that you survive while exploring the vast world around you. There is no colony management involved!Being a survival game, you'll be expected to keep yourself nourished. Your hunger level drops pretty quickly in this game and if you're up for a quick advice - it's best to get a stove up and running asap, in addition to collecting every morsel of food that you come across. At the stove, you can craft a Big Feast which will fill up 25% of your satiety meter. Keep crafting these stuff and you'll never die of hunger even during your many expeditions away from your base.
The base-building aspect here is fairly simple and frankly, there aren't as many decor, unlike in games like Minecraft, that you can furnish your place with. Combat is very hack-and-slash too - just make sure you are facing the enemy when you hack at them. You can also opt for a bow if you like.
In short, Keplerth is truly an engrossing sandbox-survival game that successfully merged the artistic style of Rimworld with the somewhat intense (and hardcore, depending on the difficulty level you chose) gameplay of Don't Starve. There are some issues with the game still, such as having enemies randomly spawning within your base if that corner happened to be unlit, but overall, the game is definitely worth the cost and the time you'll spend playing it.
