Sounds like we have similar tastes. I feel the same as you about AFM shots, even though it's definitely a great game. You put words to the way I often feel when playing it. Having said that and the fact that your vote list was similar to my wishlist here is my take on your future...
1st - MMR LE (or standard... not too different)
2nd - not on your list, but LOTR. Someone else mentioned it and the way you like shots, as long as you like the theme, you'll LOVE this pin.
3rd - TWD Pro or Premium. These can be polarizing because of BG ramp and walker bombs, but you gotta play both and see if you like smooth shots or upgraded rules with walker bombs. Also, TWD is probably my favorite game the last few months (changes of course) but probably not a great pin for first acquisition due to some brutal gameplay until you get the hang of a lot of nudging and such. 1st and 2nd on the list are great to learn on, but deep enough to never leave the collection imho.
Good luck in your journey and welcome...
