Kingdom of the Dead vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Kingdom of the Dead
Kingdom of the Dead is an action-packed, first-person shooter inspired by the timeless and iconic game, Doom, that puts you in the shoes of Agent Chamberlain, a professor-turned-Army General of a secret government program known only as “Gatekeeper”. Your goal? To foil Death’s evil plans to take over the world by closing all the Gates of Death and defeating all his minions, both big and small.Now, Kingdom of the Dead may be inspired by Doom but it offers a different kind of experience. This doesn’t mean that the game’s bad – in fact, the game’s pretty fun to play as long as you aren’t trying to compare it with other renowned faster-paced shooters and enjoy the game as it is. Price-wise, the game’s a pretty good deal for the amount of content it offers.
However, there are some issues that the game really needs to work out, such as the weapons balancing issue and players or enemies getting stuck to objects or the environment that the developers should really patch up as soon as they can.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the third and final installment of the pretty successful survival-horror first-person shooter franchise, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Assume the role of Agent Alexander Degtyarev, a undercover modern-day treasure hunter, a "stalker", as you once again venture into the vicinity of the highly-contiminated zone of the ill-fated Chernobyl nuclear explosion in 1986 in hopes of finding out what happened to the five military helicopters that went missing around the area. The game is as brilliantly creepy as ever with the addition of new yet equally gruesome monsters as well as a world environment that's built based on real-life photos captured in the exclusion zone. The survival aspect of the game has also been revamped with the addition of a sleep function, a new A-life system and emissions that can influence the game environment.There is even a free play mode after you've completed all the main quests, as well as a slew of side quests that you can pick up and do. Interestingly, the game has a Battle Royale-like multiplayer component that can support up to 32 players, has four different game modes along with multiple maps.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat has been hailed as the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R game yet, and obivously, it is for good reasons. If you think you'll enjoy playing this, you might be interested to get the S.T.A.L.K.E.R bundle which includes all 3 games.
