Most /lit/ videogame series imo. The story, cutscenes, narration, all top notch. It's so traumatic the way the enemy is always more numerous and more powerful, maybe I'm just a "casual" but I found it really captured the fear and anxiety of fighting a running battle against a superior foe.

Recommend me a book pls /lit/.

This. Also, it perfectly captured that cold space loneliness and distance. Also probably the best voice acting ever in a video game, the entire fleet sounds like they are trying to keep it together, but you still feel the desperation.
