Dead Island: Riptide vs Valheim

Dead Island Riptide plunges players back into the nightmare on the newly introduced island of Palanai within the Banoi archipelago. After thinking they had escaped the horrors of the original outbreak, the survivors find themselves stranded amidst rising tides, torrential storms, and hordes of bloodthirsty the undead. Building upon the visceral first-person combat of its predecessor, this action-packed horror title introduces a new playable character, deadly weapons, terrifying mutated enemies, and cooperative multiplayer gameplay. Players must scavenge, craft, and fight for their lives as hope slowly vanishes in a corrupt and drowning world.

Valheim is a co-op survival crafting game set in a procedurally generated Norse purgatory, blending base-building, exploration, and challenging boss fights with a striking low-poly art style.
