There’s a lot more to the world, but the game does a better job at explaining it then I would. There’s a solid main plotline, and it’s backed up with lots of of side stories and instances, most of them helping build this terrible, terrible universe. Like, I’m sorry Rooster, but you don’t do enough to justify paying mags for, so I guess this gang gets to kill you. There’s a basic risk in sleeping, and I often sacrificed party members for minimal gain. LISA isn’t just dick jokes and drug abuse though, and I was constantly forced to make decisions about the world and how I existed in it. Pornography is currency, brutality is crucial for survival, oh and love still exists. The humor takes place in a man’s world, literally in a post-apocalyptic future with no women left alive, and the atmosphere is created by the dark concept of masculinity that follows. What grabbed me about LISA was that it’s hilarious. In terms of gameplay, LISA is a fairly traditional turn-based RPG with an Earthbound styled combat system, but it’s not really the gameplay that stands out in LISA, even if it is fun. This is my favorite non-2016 game that I played in 2016. I’m not actually sure which is more fun, but with a good group of friends this game is pretty damn enjoyable. The game shines when played cooperatively though, and my fives experience has varied between a sports experience, with constant calls and evolving strategy, to role playing Final Fantasy XV by cruising with my cute bois through a post-apocalyptic metro area. I love the tension, especially when I survive for more than five minutes and the idea of finishing first suddenly seems plausible. The format is a permadeath battle royale with 150 players scavenging for whatever they can before shooting it out. A great game this is not.īut that doesn’t disqualify King of the Kill from being a fun game. I’ve seen cars explode for absolutely no reason, water towers stationed 300 feet in the air, and this. This is important because H1Z1 is very bad at being a functioning game. Additionally, I’m focusing more on how much fun I had with H1Z1 rather than how good the game is.
Technically it’s not a 2016 release, but it’s an Early Access game that I’m not sure will ever fully release, so I’m tossing it into 2016. H1Z1: King of the KillĪlright, I’m well aware that I need to justify this game being in a top 10 list. You can often find him streaming on Twitch, or tweeting on Twitter.
