Escape Dead Island vs The Walking Dead: Our World
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.
The Walking Dead: Our World
The Walking Dead: Our World is a fun geo-based augmented reality game that is inspired by the hit TV show, The Walking Dead. Following in the successful footsteps of Pokemon Go, the game features a simple tap-based gameplay where you complete missions by killing zombies, rescuing trapped people and bringing them to your shelter, and even fight other hostile survivors. You won't be doing all of this alone either! The game lets you recruit and upgrade a host of familiar companions to fight alongside you, in addition to collecting powerful weapons and improving them.Unlike Pokemon Go where you will need to travel to a location to collect "resources" like pokeballs and berries or to search for new pokemon, in this game, you can enjoy a sufficient portion of the game without actually budging from your spot. However, there are some aspects that still require some traveling, such as survivor rescue. Players can band together here as well, and this is advantageous mainly because you can basically "teleport" to any location in the world where members of your group have put up a flare.
The Walking Dead: Our World has a really great game design and is backed by one of the most popular TV shows around (short of Game of Thrones, of course). However, the game can only run properly on mid-high to high-end devices, and well, it might be hard to get fans of the show to jump on the bandwagon and try the game out since the demographics for this game are very different from Pokemon Go, which mainly appeals to teens to young adults today.
