Mafia III vs Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
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.
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground is the blocky version of a potentially fun, mobile-based MMO battle royale game. Despite being a work-in-progress, the game already has really impressive features such as a massive map where vehicles (and by extension, vehicular combat) become necessary, a vast arsenal of weapons to find and skins to collect, a live chatting system for team-based fights, and a fun pixel shooter gameplay that employs auto-shooting so all you just need to do is to aim.Not to mention, being a battle royale game, the map will gradually shrink after some time, with the outer dead zones closing in rapidly on the safe zones. This will force players to the center of the map where gunfights will then break out more frequently as players vie for the ultimate spot - to become the victor royale!
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground still has its fair share of flaws and bugs since it is, after all, still under development. However, with time and feedback, this game may just end up being one of the best block-like battle royale games on mobile.
