H1Z1: King of the Kill vs Mafia III
H1Z1: King of the Kill
H1Z1: King of the Kill is a competitive, battle royale-styled MMOTPS game set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone's fair game as you scavenge for supplies and materials to gain the upper hand. Gameplay-wise, the game is pretty fast-paced and intense especially when the map shrunk to a relatively small area, but of course, to be a pro, you'll need to put in the effort and the commitment to improve. Newcomers might find the skill ceiling a bit high though so you can expect to be fodder for quite sometime until you are familiar with the few maps available and know which stuff are hazards and which aren't.The shooting mechanics in this game is pretty arcade-like I suppose - it's the hit-or-miss type without the chance of getting glancing blows, and there might be a few weapons that might need adjusting - shotguns for example - but it's still okay overall. However, if you are to compare this game with another battle royale game like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), you'll find this game seriously lacking.
So, if you've got the cash to buy either H1Z1: King of the Kill or PUBG, we'd actually recommend getting PUBG since the game has a ton of players right now and you won't need to wait too long to get into a game. Not to mention, PUBG does have a lot of stuff that's better than H1Z1. But if you like having lots of skins or if you have a lower end PC, then H1Z1: King of the Kill might be your best bet.
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
