Fortnite Battle Royale vs Starve.io
Fortnite Battle Royale
Fortnite Battle Royale is the latest game to hop into the rapidly growing battle royale scene. Developed by Epic Games, this game offers everything you've enjoyed in PUBG - the epic struggle to survive in an ever-shrinking map - but with a bit more style, albeit the more cartoonish sort. The crafting system in this game is in-depth enough to be entertaining, and of course, the map is vast enough at the beginning to give players a pretty nice (and safe) start before all the PvP starts to erupt across the map.Despite the apparent on-going conflict of sorts with PUBG, Fortnite Battle Royale is an oustanding game. It doesn't only has fantastic gameplay elements and graphics; it also has the added bonus of being free-to-play. Not to mention, as the game is cross-platform, it manages to fill in a void that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has failed to quickly fill - to cater to the demand of a solid battle royale game on consoles.
Starve.io
Starve.io is a unique IO game mainly because it is more of a base-building and survival game rather than just a hack-and-slash arena. In this game, you will need to collect resources and turn them into useful items which will marginally improve your chances of survival. The crafting aspect of the game is very much simplified but it can still take you a while to figure out crucial crafting details like how much resources you need to create a certain item. Also, a quick tip if you will - grab as much food and wood as you can at the get-go.As a survival game, there are several important "meters" that you will need to keep an eye on, such as temperature and hydration. Hunger also something that you will need to frequently deal with, aside from other potentially hostile players as well as other monsters like vampires and zombies if you happen to play its other game modes. There is even a "hunger games" version which frankly feels a lot like a battle royale game.
Unlike many other IO games where players are always pitted against one another, Starve.io is a game in which you can actually choose to coexist with other players rather than just swinging whatever weapon you have in hand at anyone you see... though, many players still do that pretty often, especially those better-equipped ones.
