How to Survive 2 vs The Walking Dead: Season One
How to Survive 2
How to Survive 2 is the sequel to what was a really well-received zombie-survival game. The gameplay here is pretty similar to the original where you'll be farming the environment for resources and return to your base to craft new items and upgrade existing stuff. You can also furnish your base and improve it so as to withstand stronger attacks from roaming zombie hordes. The game even provides a much deeper crafting system, allowing you to create over hundreds of items.However, as many players have noted, the game has changed direction and is designed for multiplayer play, and considering that the game doesn't really have a lot of players now, it can admittedly get kind of boring. This can easily be fixed by adding some random events into the game, but apparently, this is not going to happen.
If you get the game on a discounted price, How to Survive is definitely a good buy. The game is perfect for fans of the original and although it can be quite repetitive at times, if you like that kind of thing, you'll enjoy this game for sure.
The Walking Dead: Season One
The Walking Dead: Season One is the first of the 3-season, story-based game series, The Walking Dead, from Telltale Games and it has rapidly rose to fame partly because the TV series of the same name was (and is still) incredibly popular, but mainly because of the powerful writing and animations that are enough to make even grown men weep. The story in this game puts you in the shoes of Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who is given a second chance in a post-apocalyptic world filled with the undead - a second chance that came in the form of a young orphaned girl, Clementine. With the girl in tow, he vows to protect her at all costs in his own personal quest for redemption. This season contains 5 episodes in total, namely A New Day, Starved for Help, Long Road Ahead, Around Every Corner and No Time Left.The most interesting part about this game is that you'll be given the chance to make critical decisions that may drastically change the path of the plotline, resulting in a very different ending. Much like the gamebooks of old, this game offers multiple endings for you to discover. Sometimes, you'll even have to make important decisions within a limited time (almost immediately, in fact), enhancing the immersion and realism of the story itself.
Garnered over 90 Game of the Year awards, The Walking Dead: Season One will definitely provide players with plenty of nice side stories in addition to the main plotline where you can meet various famous characters in the TV shows before they all ended up in the same city where the first few episodes of the TV show were set in. This is a game that fans of The Walking Dead or of a good story-rich game shoulsn't miss out on!
