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.
Man, Rogue Spear brings back memories. I never actually used the M-14 in that game, I always stuck with the revolver and the H&K MP5.
But I will toss another in there that made me absolutely fall in love with the M-14 and that is Operation 7, that game basically nailed the Tarkov style gunplay and customisation years before Tarkov was a thing.
EDIT: Okay I just booted up Wildlands after a few years to make sure it's in the game -- and funnily enough my character was still equipped with the MK-14 sniper rifle variant the last time I played in the Tier 1 mode, so that speaks to its efficiency for sure.
Couple images of it in-game:
Okay, okay, it's the high-speed, low-drag, version of the M-14, but I'll take it. I like that it's considered a sniper rifle. I've never heard of Operation 7. I'll need to look into it.
