Should I buy?

[Chillyboi9]

so I have finally saved enough money to buy a new game, and I am wondering if I should get this or something else like 7 days to die or Divinty 2: original sin.

Depends if you like games with a big learning curve with lots of things to learn and remember or a more casual experience. Also you will die A LOT until you understand the combat system, it could be frustrating.

dunno about 7 days. divinity is a great dnd experience,probably better with friends. zomboid is great as well, has mp now too but its not for everyone. if your friends dont like hard games or simulations you wont enjoy it much. A lot of the fun comes in looting and building up/making your own goals.

Having all three games, it depends on what you want:
7DTD: A work in progress zombie shooter with survival aspects such as hunger and thirst. The 7 day hoards are fun and there's lots of sandbox options like size, strength and all that. good if you're looking for more action and base building than survival.

Divinity 2: Fun "digital DnD" that's very role-play heavy with pretty fun combat. Better if you have friends but solo isn't to bad.

PZ: The inverse of 7DTD, where it really focuses on survival and less about kicking down door and bonking a zombie. Sure there's plenty of fighting but it's generally about hiding and running. Tons of customization options and mods to tailor the game to what you want. Prepare to die. A lot.

Really, you're comparing apples, to oranges to bananas and should decide which you're more in the mood for. I have all three and play all three for different reasons. It's hard to say.

Yeah to add on to GunSlinginOtaku's comment:

I dont have Divinity 2 but I can tell you that both Project zomboid and 7D2D have fantastic studios that are pretty constantly working on their games and they've been doing it for years. So you get tons of replayability.
My usual cycle is:
Play game a TON
Start to kinda play it occasionally
Either get bored or distracted by life/newgame/existential dread
Months later new major update comes out
Repeat.

So it's a game you will come back to when they've changed or added something major, which happens frequently enough that I never regret having bought them years ago.

I have Divinity 2 and clearly PZ. They are different games but I really enjoy both.
The first time I saw PZ - it popped up in Recommends but I didn't pay much heed as it looked like yet another Zombie game but worse, also looking like it was built with the Sims 1 engine.
Later on I caught a couple of game play videos and it I saw how close it was to the core spirit of DayZ when it was just an Arma mod - a lot of dev passion and deep layered game play.
Every single game I've played in PZ has been different, forcing me to adapt my playstyle to the game environment.

Divinity 2 while being a different kind of game, still has the same capacity to surprise me both in what is possible and how the game systems change despite being story driven. For example the main quest line isn't just a Mass Effect linear plot to one of 4 outcomes, or a polar Good or Bad ending,

So basically I recommend getting both budget allowing.

ive been playing this game for 2-3 years almost 1k hours with no end in sight. I kicked started 7 days not a fan of its current state. D2 is good too.

I wouldn't go for 7DTD, it's not very polished and not at the same quality level of Divinity or PZ.
If you like being immersed in a game and don't mind slow and methodical gameplay go for PZ.
If you like rpg's just go for divinity 2.
