Dead Island Riptide vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
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.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the third and final installment of the pretty successful survival-horror first-person shooter franchise, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

The game is as brilliantly creepy as ever with the addition of new yet equally gruesome monsters as well as a world environment that's built based on real-life photos captured in the exclusion zone. The survival aspect of the game has also been revamped with the addition of a sleep function, a new A-life system and emissions that can influence the game environment.There is even a free play mode after you've completed all the main quests, as well as a slew of side quests that you can pick up and do. Interestingly, the game has a Battle Royale-like multiplayer component that can support up to 32 players, has four different game modes along with multiple maps.
