Ark: Survival Evolved vs Dying Light
Ark: Survival Evolved
Ark: Survival Evolved is a hardcore, prehistoric-themed (this means dinosaurs... lots and lots of them), survival sandbox MMO set in an astoundingly gorgeous persistent world where everybody is fair game. There is insane amount of resources that you can harvest, items you can craft and dinosaurs that you can tame. Not to mention, you can and will probably need to build shelters for yourself and your tamed beasts, and of course, defend it from other players.Being a hardcore survival game, you'll also need to take care to feed both you and your dinosaurs and that death is pretty permanent in this game. Even the tools you craft has durability that will gradually wear down when used. It might be difficult to be a solo player and thus, you are often encouraged to team up whenever you can.
Ark: Survival Evolved is definitely not the sort of game to play if you're easily frustrated. The learning curve - let alone the "survival curve" - can be pretty steep especially when you keep getting killed or harassed by other, better equipped survivors.
Dying Light
Dying Light is rather highly-acclaimed, survival-themed, first person parkour RPG that's set in the zombie-infested city of Harran. Here, you'll need to rely on your ability to run, leap and quickly climb your way across buildings and other structures of all shapes and sizes to avoid getting swarmed by zombies... and we've got to say, the zombies in this game isn't the slow sort. If you fancy a challenge, try going out during the night instead. Your first encounter with a Volatile will get your heart pumping a lot faster than it should!The missions in this game, especially the story-linked ones, are varied enough to keep you engaged, though some of the side missions may be somewhat repetitive. Of course, being a survival-like game, you'll need to scavenge the city for supplies to craft new and incredibly useful weapons or to augment the ones you already have, as long as you've got the blueprints needed. You can change how you look as well.
Dying Light made the zombie apocalypse a whole lot more fun with plenty of cool and smooth parkour moves, which admittedly makes sense if the zombies aren't at all climbers. The game has won plenty of awards and nominations too. If you're a fan of parkour games, this is one adrenaline-rushing game that you won't want to miss!
