Fate/Grand Order looks neat. Wish it would cross over to consoles.
What I've Been Playing The Last Few Months Part 2

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2
While not quite as fun as I remember the first Championship Edition being, it's still fast, fresh and enjoyable remake of the Pac-Man formula. I had a lot of fun gunning for high scores even if I never made it even close to the top of the leaderboards. The disc version also came with three classic games: the original Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug. All of them were fun revisiting for a few hours, though I enjoyed Galaga the most.
The Walking Dead Season 2
Though I stopped being a fan of the Walking Dead TV series, these games by Telltale are much more enjoyable. Lots of unpredictable twists and turns. It's a little campy, but at least your choices feel like they actually matter. Most games that promise that usually don't deliver.
Resident Evil 6
This game was much better than I expected as the reputation of this game has not held up very well. This game is to video games as a Michael Bay movie is to films. Constant explosions and action, trash story, but fun to watch/play for some people.
Resident Evil: Origins Collection
This is a collection of Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 0. Both are great, but I prefer RE0. The tank controls were basically fixed to a more modern control scheme. I like these much more than RE5 and 6 (and likely 7 too, but I haven't bothered to play it). Makes me wish Capcom would go back and make another RE like these.
Bayonetta
Got this for free with Games With Gold. Not the biggest fan of the game's style, but the gameplay is a lot of fun. Normal mode was way too hard for me, so I bumped it down to Very Easy... which was way too easy. It makes it so easy it's nearly impossible to die. At least I was able to power through the game though.
Runbow
Played this one for a few hours. Another Games With Gold title. It's kinda like Super Meat Boy, only with much shorter levels. This makes it much easier, but unfortunately, the graphics look like garbage, so it didn't hold my interest long.
Fate/Grand Order
This is the game that's been commanding the most of my play time since it came out at the end of June. What's even more surprising is that it's a tablet game; a device that I rarely play games on. It has a neat little turn-based battle system and incredibly addicting character building mechanics. Japan is two years ahead of this English version, so there's tonnes of content to look forward to over many years (it's insanely successful in Japan where it regularly beats out Pokemon Go in the highest grossing games apparently). As a huge fan of the Fate franchise, this game will be a part of my life for many years to come. For better or for worse.
