    Buy fallout 4 and if you have a decent machine for gaming which from your list I'm guessing you do, and also have windows 10 get Forza Apex for free from the windows app store. If you like strategy RPG's disgaea is very cheap in the sale right now, too. It's story is less serious than mass effect but still good. All three of your genres for less than 50 bucks.

    Well of you like car games Assetto Corsa. Now for the honesty part...
    Only you know what you want. Hard for someone to tell you what you'll enjoy more right

    I'm going to give you the same answer I gave in your other thread: You know what games you like. Take the ones from your list, read reviews, watch videos on Youtube, then make your decision.

    FYI: Since you have Just Cause 3, the combo deal with Rise of the Tomb Raider is just $29.24 ...less than the ~$38 it is separately offered for.

    *US prices listed.


    ...of course FO4 will offer the most play time for the money.

    And later when you realize you have too many games in your backlog... DO A MAJOR GIVEAWAY ON NBR! ANNUALLY!
