Rules of Survival on my phone
Vanquish
Always heard about this game being great, but never bought into the hype. It looked very generic, and I think Platinum Games is a tad overrated.
That said, I was wrong about this one. It's fantastic, and a breath of fresh air in the shooter genre. Even if that breath is like 7 years old or whatever. It's everything the reviews say it is, but you really have to play it to understand how it all comes together, and separates itself from the herd. It breaks a lot of boundaries in the genre, and is one of the most balanced and varied shooter experiences I've played. The freedom is allows you to tackle any scenario, is like nothing I've played before. In most shooters, it's essentially stop and pop. You get in room, and move from cover to cover, until the room is cleared. In this game, you feel like you're not playing the game right if you're cover shooting. It encourages(and requires) you to experiment, and use all the tools at your disposal. It takes the average player out of their comfort zone, and makes them get into the action. And the best thing is, is that it's not frustrating. You're gonna be forced to stick your neck out there, but the game is so well designed, that you'll enjoy every second of it, even if you do get mowed down, because it never feels cheap.
Only complaint I've got is that there are a little too many waist high walls, in a game that's not really designed around them, and they actually get in the way more often than not. There's this cool dodge move you use all the time, where you jump away, and time slows down, but half the time you land and aim, you end up stuck behind some wall, and can't take the shot you want. There's a bit too many friendlies on the battle field as well, and they get in your way all the time too. That's about it though.
Anyways, game is great, and free for Gold members right now. Check it out if you missed out on it. It's worthy of the hype.

Just finished ME3... fuck that ending.
Also, finished the Bunker. Not sure if I'm going to play something in between now and Tuesday when I can download State of Decay 2 for free.
I still Head Canon the Citadel DLC as the true ending lol.I didn't mind all of the DLC with ME3. The extended ending helped a little. Only a little.

Play the game, pick Destroy with high EMS. After Shep breathes I load up the Citadel DLC. I have it taking about a year after the war in a rebuilt Citadel.
Replaying the Dead Space series. God damn they're so good.
If only we had a Dead Space 4
Dead Space 1 and 2 were really good, and I'm not usually into those kinds of games. Loved dat whole aesthetic, with monsters that looked like they came from The Thing or some shit
I skipped Dead Space 3 because I heard it was shit, and basically EA turned it into a generic shooter
