This action-packed game featured a hilarious post-apocalyptic world that came into being because of a soda drink. The title might seem repetitive, but the mind-boggling writing and enjoyable gameplay compensated it incredibly. The title offered 30 hours of a storyline that featured insane monsters, and an astonishing skill tree that allowed you to build seamlessly.
