Dying Light vs Project Zomboid
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!
Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid takes the post-apocalyptic zombie survival genre to the next level with one of the most realistic gameplay to date. After all, surviving isn't just blowing the heads off zombies or finding food - your mental health is as equally important! In many ways, the game feels a lot like Don't Starve when it comes to the more hardcore gameplay, though its persistent and ever-growing game map can be liken to that of Minecraft while its stats-based progression is somewhat similar to the old Runescape. There are so many skills you can level up, and which one you'd like to focus on is entirely up to you. Of course, you can customize your character's looks as well.Aside from the common Sandbox and Survival modes, the game even has fun and imaginative Challenge scenarios and action-packed "Last Stand" mode which frankly plays out a lot like Serious Sam albeit in isometric view.
Featuring a unique pixel-like visuals and an isomeric perspective, Project Zomboid is a really promising early access game that fans of survival games would really enjoy. It's full of content, be it exploring or crafting, and it's tough enough to keep you hooked.
