Highrisers vs The Walking Dead: Michonne
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
The Walking Dead: Michonne
The Walking Dead: Michonne is somewhat of a spin-off from the story-rich game series, The Walking Dead by Telltale Games. Dubbed as a miniseries, this game lets you play as the iconic, blade-wielding and fiercely independent lady from The Walking Dead universe, Michonne. In her shoes, you'll get to explore the time when Michonne's absence between issues #126 and #139 of the series' comic book and what made her returned to her old group of survivors, and to some extent friends, in three brilliantly detailed episodes.Of course, players will get to make important, story-changing decisions on Michonne's behalf and experience the world as she did. The Walking Dead: Michonne is an interactive game that will fill in the missing part of the storyline for fans of The Walking Dead comic book series.
