If you were hoping for a laid-back, relaxing, and happy weekend, I've got bad news for you. With the surprise mobile release of the critically acclaimed games Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful just before the weekend, we'd be disappointed if you didn't dive in and experience a direct hit right to the heart.
Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Olathe, these games thrust you into the shoes of Brad Armstrong on his harrowing quest to reunite with his adoptive daughter, Buddy. You'll be faced with dismal moral choices that challenge your ethics at every turn. While the idea of a soul-crushingly depressing RPG experience might sound off-putting, the Lisa series is renowned for blending genuinely enjoyable gameplay with a deeply engaging and challenging narrative. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're willing to give it a chance, it could be exactly what you've been looking for.

While the story and choices are complex, the gameplay remains straightforward, reminiscent of a traditional turn-based RPG. You'll recruit a squad of companions to join you on your journey, battling various foes along the way. However, be warned: your companions are not as durable as you are, and certain instant kill moves by enemies or other events can permanently remove them from your roster. The mobile versions, part of the Definitive Edition collection, feature new mechanics, crisp HD visuals, and other enhancements.
