I picked up Phoenix Point because I was feeling that XCOM itch and knew if it wasn't this I would start a Long War game of XCOM2 which would probably take 2 years to finish if I did at all.
Far Cry 5 is $6 and though I'm not particularly tempted I've heard good things.
Mad Max is $2 and if you haven't played it I would say it most certainly a bargain at that price. It is fairly boilerplate open world where you take towers and bases to gather resources for upgrades and eventually unlock tougher and tougher zones. The vehicle combat is really the standout and your car is the star of the show. Just tearing around the desert is fun in itself. Taking caravans is particularly cinematic and satisfying to eventually bag one that you just weren't quite able to before your latest upgrade. Unfortunately the base assault and dismounted fighting is pretty forgettable with batman arkham-style auto-target with quicktime blocking that doesn't change very much as you unlock new abilities. My 2nd favorite open world game after shadow of mordor/war.
I started it a couple weeks ago. Definitely enjoying it but I did follow a guide for builds because I heard the combat gets easier if you just spam officer abilities.
Same for me with guide and the builds. If I have any gripe, it's the leveling system - not that it's bad per se, but you have so many options that if you pick a bad one, you're pretty much stuck with no way to correct it.
...unless there's a respec option that I haven't noticed due to being a retard.
Granted, I did replay the intro part a few times to finally settle on a playstyle I like, so, eh.
