Fortnite vs State of Decay 2
Fortnite
Fortnite is a unique tower-defense-like co-op game where players will be given a limited amount of time to make a coordinated effort to gather resources like metal, brick, wood and nuts and bolts, from their surroundings, build a base to defend from, and set up traps to protect said base. Oh and don't forget to upgrade the base whenever's possible and make sure to reinforce your passive defenses before the next wave of enemies arrives!Set in a world where most of humanity was somehow turned by a freak and mystical storm into mindless creatures called Husks, this game will have you fight for the last of humanity while playing as the world's last remaining heroes. You'll get to choose from one of four classes, namely the Outlander, Soldier, Constructor, and Ninja, each of which has their own unique roles to play in the team.
Fortnite may have lost some of its shine in the limelight due to the immense success of its battle royale add-on game mode, Fortnite Battle Royale, but this doesn't at all diminish the exciting multiplayer gameplay it has to offer. This is definitely a game to watch... and to play once it's officially released - hopefully as a free-to-play.
If you would like to jump into the game a bit earlier than the masses, you can purchase the early access bundle which will not only get you access to the game, but also some nice little, and exclusive, extras.
State of Decay 2
State of Decay 2 is the highly-anticipated and long-awaited sequel to one of the top zombie-survival action-shooters out there, State of Decay. Unlike the original game, this installment has a bit more community management in it rather than simply trying to survive as a lone wolf. Each survivor has their own set of traits, skills, and attitudes that you'll need to keep balanced so that your community will thrive rather than succumb to in-fighting and general discontent.In this game, you can assign tasks to each survivor, upgrade your base, help the community solve its issues (through completing personal quests, heeding advice, or resolving disputes), and of course, recruit more survivors to join your band. State of Decay 2 will also feature a co-op mode - It's about time! - where you can try to survive with up to 3 of your friends. Not to mention, like its predecessor, the game is set in a massive open world that you're free to explore.
State of Decay 2 is definitely among the few biggest games that fans of zombie-survival games but I'm sad to say that although the game does improve on the original, the improvements are just too little and too insignificant. The game is still as shallow as before and the game gets boring and stale pretty quickly (just a couple of hours in). The game might still be worth buying on a steep discount.
