Reasons you might like Darwin's Game...

Mayank Mayank says...

Gantz and Darwin's Game don't pull any punches when it comes to explicit violence, whether it be spilling guys, head shot or splattered brains. Gantz, however has a lot of nudity and sex scenes that are not scene in Darwin's Game. Both of these are based on high stakes play or die games. While Darwin's Game is PvP, Gantz is PvE but they offer same amount of thrill and gore.
