Fortnite Battle Royale vs State of Decay 2
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.
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.
