Escape Dead Island vs FAR: Changing Tides
Escape Dead Island
Escape Dead Island is a Telltale-inspired, story-driven survival-mystery spin-off for the Dead Island franchise where the game's fans will be able to uncover the story behind the zombie outbreak through the eyes of documentary journalist Cliff Calo and fill in the gap between the first Dead Island game and the upcoming Dead Island sequel. Unlike the open world game that the franchise was defined by, this spin-off uses a comic-like style to bring the story to life. The virtual environment is also reactive to your every decision and as such, you might want to sometimes opt for a stealthier option rather than diving straight into combat, especially when the combat system - since it's not the main focus of the game and all - can be a bit boring.Escape Dead Island is very different from what you might be used to in Dead Island or Dead Island Riptide, and despite the heavy use of backtracking, the story and animation made everything worthwhile, especially if you're into this kind of stuff.
FAR: Changing Tides
FAR: Changing Tides is the highly anticipated sequel to the breakout indie game where you pilot a ship through a post-apocalyptic world. Solve various puzzles to move forward, manage your ship (and its fuel) the best you can, and simply sit back and enjoy a sublime experience exploring the world and discovering stories that the collapsed civilization left behind.FAR: Changing Tides is a worthy sequel to its incredibly well-received original. Featuring astounding new graphics, this game basically offers more of the same while allowing players to discover more parts of the same post-apocalyptic world, giving them the chance to tinker around with some new mechanics while solving puzzles, and providing them with a familiar yet unique enough experience.
It’s definitely a game that fans of FAR: Lone Sails would enjoy, but it’ll also work as a great introduction for new players diving into the FAR world for the first time.
