15 Most Criminally Underrated Video Games Of 2016 (So Far)
6. Not A Hero
Publishers Devolver Digital really need to be given more credit. So far they've helped license Hotline Miami, Luftrausers, Broforce and OlliOlli, but one of the most immediately enjoyable and thoroughly hilarious from top to bottom is Not A Hero.
Playing as one of a number of recruits for a large, milkshake-loving rabbit named Bunnylord, you're tasked with clearing all sorts of levels of goons and random enemies to rid the city of crime and help him gain office. Everything happens in the goriest way possible, with gameplay mainly consisting of choosing when to take cover before pulling off executions on downed enemies and tossing the occasional explosive to spice things up.
Think Hotline Miami on a side-on plane in terms of pace, yet with far less instant restarts. Levels are snappy, the dialogue is mostly randomly generated to provide extra chuckles, and across the board there's not a moment when you won't be grinning ear to ear.
