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 got Far Cry 5 almost exclusively because it's one of the few games that allows you to use an M-14.
The M-14 is frustratingly underpowered in the game. That being said, I think it's a frustrating but mostly enjoyable experience. Certainly worth $5 if you want to put up with Ubisoft. Then again, FC5 (without it's sequel) continuing to make money probably really pisses Ubisoft off. The "Media Literacy" class has never liked it.
That low effort "don't" flag got me good. I want one.
I've always been partial to the No Step On Snek flag because of the angry eyebrows.
Yeah, I might have to get that on a mug or something.
Or make my own "don't," it's not like it would be hard.
To get it sewn into a flag it might cost $40. I've gone to professional flag makers before.
