Blood and Bacon vs State of Decay: which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer on a budget seeking a casual experience without high system demands, Blood and Bacon is the better choice. It costs nothing more than the Steam price, requiring only Windows Vista or higher, 600 MB RAM, and 300 MB storage—ideal for basic PCs. State of Decay, while offering a mature title with a higher Metacritic score (79/100), demands significantly more power: Windows 7 or newer, 2 GB RAM, 3 GB storage, and a dedicated GPU like Radeon HD 4750 or better, plus support for Xbox 360. Blood and Bacon supports multiple resolutions and AA settings, while State of Decay is only listed as supporting multiplayer modes. Blood and Bacon is simpler in scope—single-player, multiplayer, co-op, online co-op, online multiplayer—whereas State of Decay includes single-player, multiplayer, and co-op. For daily commuting or casual play on older hardware, Blood and Bacon’s minimal requirements and lower storage need make it more practical. State of Decay’s higher price, larger storage, and more complex graphics make it better only for players with strong systems or those seeking deeper gameplay mechanics.
