Starve.io vs The Forest
Starve.io
Starve.io is a unique IO game mainly because it is more of a base-building and survival game rather than just a hack-and-slash arena. In this game, you will need to collect resources and turn them into useful items which will marginally improve your chances of survival. The crafting aspect of the game is very much simplified but it can still take you a while to figure out crucial crafting details like how much resources you need to create a certain item. Also, a quick tip if you will - grab as much food and wood as you can at the get-go.As a survival game, there are several important "meters" that you will need to keep an eye on, such as temperature and hydration. Hunger also something that you will need to frequently deal with, aside from other potentially hostile players as well as other monsters like vampires and zombies if you happen to play its other game modes. There is even a "hunger games" version which frankly feels a lot like a battle royale game.
Unlike many other IO games where players are always pitted against one another, Starve.io is a game in which you can actually choose to coexist with other players rather than just swinging whatever weapon you have in hand at anyone you see... though, many players still do that pretty often, especially those better-equipped ones.
The Forest
The Forest is a survival horror game where you play as the lone survivor of a plane crash only to find yourself in a mysterious jungle infested with man-eating mutants. To survive, you'll need to build a shelter, explore the forest to seek out vital resources and defend yourself from any mutants you come across. There is a pretty in-depth crafting system to help you survive in the wilderness that The Forest brings. You can even play the game through a stealthier approach, opting to avoid any enemies rather than engaging them head-on.You can even play cooperatively with up to 7 of your friends or head over to the multiplayer server and try surviving against other possibly hostile survivors as well. So, do you think you can make a living for yourself in The Forest and possibly find a way to escape from it? Play The Forest now and find out!
