Dead Island Riptide vs Left4Dead 2
Dead Island Riptide
Dead Island Riptide is a blend between a sequel and a spin-off from the original Dead island game, mainly because it is still set in the Banoi archipelago and yet the open world island you'll be trying to escape from this time around is called Palanai. The story continues from where the first game left off as well where your escape was thwarted and you are thrown back into the whole zombie fiasco. The gameplay is still pretty much the same - there will be lots of head-smashing or lopping depending on the weapon you use and you can do all of that cooperatively with up to four of your friends.With a lineup of new zombies and survivors, a selection of new deadly weapons, and a new playable character, Dead Island Riptide is a game that offers its fans more of the same with a bit of tweaks and additions on the side. If you love the original Dead Island, you'll love this game as well.
Left4Dead 2
Left4Dead 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Left4Dead. Featuring a brand new adventure and cast of characters as well as a wider variety of zombie-slaying weapons to choose from, Left4Dead 2 enjoyed an even higher level of success than the original. However, the game does have a bit of a rep for having a pretty toxic community when it comes to the game's multiplayer-based Versus mode. Apparently, anything less than perfection isn't tolerated among most players in the community so if possible, it's best to just play with the friends you already know.In short, Left4Dead 2 provides a refresh new experience, even for veterans of Left4Dead, and an exciting gameplay that fans of shooter games will likely enjoy. It is possibly the last game in the series since oddly enough, Valve is adverse the the number 3 as popular rumours go. Well, until then, mods will help to further extent the lifespan of this game far beyond 8 years (it was released in 2009).
