Highrisers vs The Walking Dead: Season Two
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: Season Two
The Walking Dead: Season Two is the exciting sequel to the highly acclaimed Telltale game series, The Walking Dead. This game continues the story of Clementine, a young orphaned girl who was left to fend for herself after her protector tragically sacrificed himself for her safety many months ago. Play as the young girl as she does whatever she can to survive and yet tries to retain the good that's left of humanity. Presented with various scenarios, events and moral dilemmas that a young girl shouldn't have to face, you'll need to help her make critical decisions that will change the path of her story, resulting in very differnt endings.Like the previous game, The Walking Dead: Season Two contains 5 episodes in total, namely All that Remains, A House Divided, In Harm's Way, Amid the Ruins and No Going Back.
This is definitely a game you'll want to get if you've played the Season One of the game. If not, get the Season One first before you accidentally spoiled the story for yourself!
