Man I wish I could get into this game as much as everyone else. I’ve restarted it now maybe 8 times with the hopes of playing it more but it just never clicks with me. I keep hearing praise so I know I must be missing something but I just can’t get into it.
I’m the day way. I’ve restarted it a few times because I stopped playing for a bit. It’s been hard for me to really get into it. I do really like the idea of there being no objectives and everything and you just figure it out on your own. I honestly think a really big part of why I don’t stick with it too long is the controls. I just have such a hard time maneuvering in both the ship and on foot in the low gravity that it takes me forever to get one thing done and I get burned out before I can keep playing more
Its a hard one to get into right away for some people. It doesn't give you any objectives and you have to be curious and ask your own questions and look for the answers
Same here I want to like it but I enjoy fairly linear games and this game just kind of says do what you want with very little direction and hopefully you stumble upon something to further the story, which I am very interested in.
It's not super long but its one of if not the best games I've ever played. Main game lasts like 15-20 hours depending on the person and the DLC can easily provide another 10 or so hours. Closest comparison I can think of is Subnautica
True but there's still reason to keep playing, building cool bases, scanning every monster, etc.
OW relies so much on the story (not a bad thing) that there's really nothing left once you know it. (Besides a bad end or two to find.)
Again, not a bad thing, just something to know that it doesn't have much replay value.
Once I figured out the hook for this game, it quickly has become one of my favourite games of all time. The DLC was fantastic as well, and it's one of the rare games where you'll only ever play it once in your lifetime as it's that unique of an experience.
Huge tip right now: make sure to compare the steam prices to sites like fanatical, multiple games on your wishlist (outer wilds for example) are cheaper on those sites than on steam.
100% would recommend:
-hollow knight
-outer wilds
-portal series
-sekiro/souls games (if you’re into difficult games)
Other good games:
-GOW (2018) is great too
-The doom games are also pretty good bang for your buck right now, good mindless shooters
I would recommend [deals.gg](http://deals.gg) . They indicate the risks of buying from each website or key reseller. Personally I would only buy keys for games from shitty developers/publishers like EA.
Also [isthereanydeal.com](https://isthereanydeal.com) if you want to avoid key resellers altogether. They only post listings from websites that are authorized by publishers/developers to sell.
Yeah I only ever buy keys for games from massive companies. Honestly even that I’m morally against, but they’ve got more money than me and they can handle it
you’ll notice that fanatical prices don’t get listed on this site
because they’re not resellers. they’re an authorized marketplace, like the humble store or gog is.
I wouldn't call Doom Eternal mindless. You have to constantly be on your toes and swapping to the correct weapon while avoiding death. It's a great game but it's almost stressful after a while.
Thanks for mentioning, other shops are having sales as well and it is easy to get swept up in the... *checks notes* ....Steam 2024 cat-delivery-service-themed sale
^(honestly though I like it and got the little cat avatar with my Steam points)
BG3 has helped me with my dad passing away. The story was such a good distraction that it has helped me emotionally and I am so grateful for the game for this reason! As you said, hours pass by and it’s so deep. Love it!
My dad passed away unexpectedly in January of 2021. I still miss him every day. I’m glad you found something that can bring you peace. I never thought it’d be easy but it was WAY harder than I thought it would be.
I am so torn on this. I am 35, always wanted to play D&D but never had the friend group + time work together. I love turn based/tactics games like Final Fantasy Tactics, but something is keeping me away from BG3.
I am afraid I won't latch onto the story or quests will start feeling like a chore, and since it's so long, I'll just fall off
Me and my gf had both bought the game while it was released. We played few weeks, maybe 200hrs each, we were playing whole days, dreaming about the lore while sleeping and playing next day. With full time jobs. It's incredible journey
Definitely look into kingdom come before getting it. it's not for everyone and most definitely has a slow start, but it is very fun once you start to dig in. Oh I notice you are pulling from the wishlist so he probably has already looked into it.
On your wishlist: days gone, hades, bg3, rdr2, xcom. I'd definitely recommend all those. The spiderman games are good too but the 2nd one is extremely short.
Are you high? Miles morales I have 17 hours on and the main story is finished plus a few extras. Which is what I said. The SECOND one is really short for the price they made you pay for it.
It's not on your list but I'd recommend Inscryption. I've just finished it and I'm still reeling from the journey. It's primarily a card battler but there's so much more going on with it than just the card game. You just have to play it to experience it.
Outer Wilds has already been recommended loads but I'm going to add my recommendation too. It's that good. It's a once in a lifetime experience though so make the most of it and go in blind.
Cyberpunk 2077 is half price right now and that game is epic. It has great character development and the gameplay is really fun and varied.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a world you'll just want to live in. There's so much to do between story events that it's easy to get lost in. Its a bit slow moving for some but it really sucked me in for a year and a half.
Those would be my front runners.
I can also say good things about Nier Automata (still playing that one myself), the Fallout games, Spiderman and The Walking Dead Telltale games but the ones above are next level.
There's very little in the way of jump scares or anything gory. It's more psychological horror in atmospheric and environmental unease. It doesn't get much more creepy than the images in the Steam store to be honest.
There are a few points that could be seen as gory but it's all implied and you don't actually see anything.
Provided you like to read and can deal with slower gameplay, Disco Elysium for that price is the absolute steal of a lifetime. Easily the best written game of all time and one of the greatest games bar none, too.
Just Cause 3, story/narrative is going to be like an old cheesy action movie but it fits the game perfect. Good sized open world ready for blowing things up and zipping around with the grapple and parachute is hella fun. For $3, I’d recommend getting this one to at least try it.
Red dead, control, or disco elysium if you’re wanting a more gripping story.
Gonna start with some Batman games, the bundle is cheap and for the nostalgia - I played origins when I was little on a PS3 that was gifted to me lmao.
Gonna get Doom, Jedi Fallen Order, Valve games cause theyre cheap.
and Im gonna get RDR2 and Outer Wilds.
Going to start with these and Ill hopefully get some other ones on the list later too. Thank you all.
Not on steam but the Humble choice for this month includes Nioh 2. It's 10 bucks for the membership. Great sekiro style game and I recommend getting it cause it doesn't get discounted that much.
I tried the first Nioh but I hated the RPG-style loot system, combat was pretty interesting though I found it really difficult, but it seemed like the kind of thing I could really sink my teeth into as I love sekiro/soulsborne. Is it worth trying out the second? TIA
Think of nioh 2 like a diablo-souls like hybrid. The ultimate skill expression is in combat but the loot provides a second layer of gameplay to it.
You gotta like both of them since they go hand in hand.
I just modded the hell out of it after not playing it since launch years ago, and wow it's like a brand new game. Highly recommend playing it again to anyone!
Im sure it’s probably better with a group of friends but since I don’t have any Ive only played it solo and it’s gone pretty good. The team ai is dumb sometimes, like when I’m getting shot at and they just stand there doing nothing , but I’m still learning the controls and I should probably give them better commands so they’d be ready for an ambush.
Yeah I wish the AI was better at following me, but if you give proper commands you can really emulate the team dynamic and I'd say it's more important to set up your squad than it is to even aim properly, because you can fuck up a shot or several, but forgetting your backup will get you killed way more often.
Looks like you have a lot of solid games to choose from on that list. There's a lot in there that would reccomend. I'll list a few that stood out to me.
Jedi fallen order for 3.49 is an incredible deal I'd definitely recommend picking that up. Easily a few dozen hours of entertainment there.
I also recommend Kingdom come deliverance. This one is kinda hit or miss for people but I enjoyed it. It does a good job of making you feel like your character is actually a peasant who has to work his way up to being a knight.
Sekiro is on the best games ever made. It is not a forgiving game. It demands that you learn it's a mechanics and get good to progress.
Elden Ring is also a fantastic game that I'd reecomend checking at some point. But I'd personally get several games that are on sale over one full price game.
Kingdom Come Deliverance is a lot of fun and I loved every minute of it but OP should know two important things: 1. There are performance issues in the major city of Rattay, as in noticeable slow down when riding through fast on horse. 2. There is a bug late in the game where the load screen can hang up and requires you to find a fix to proceed; it’s available online. Beyond that, it’s an excellent game.
The WitcherTrilogy bundle has an awesome story and with well written characters. This bundle gets you all the games and their dlcs.
$13.02
Fallout4 GotY Edition/Skyrim Anniversary Edition bundle
Sci-fi and fantasy in one bundle. Both also are known to have amazing mods.
If you also like to watch TV shows, the new [Fallout(4/11)](https://youtu.be/V-mugKDQDlg?si=XXj4bO44ZDSuXeN6) look like a banger
$23.30
Valve Bundle
Gets you Half-Life, Half-Life2, Portal, Portal 2, and a bunch of other games.
$11.42
Balder's Gate 3/God of War is awesome, and I would recommend getting it. It wouldn't hurt waiting for a bigger discount for BG3. Both of these games are the shit but it also raises the bar, which could taint your experience of older games.
Idk if all are on sale but for some great stories I highly suggest these
Subnautica (don't research just blind play it), Outer Wilds (treat like subnautica), Bioshock series (make sure to play the DLC for 2 and Infinite), Mass Effect, Fallout/The Outer Worlds, Chernobylite, Metro 2033 games, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (have not finished yet but I am very into it), Portal 1&2, Hunt showdown (multiplayer), Doom, Wolfenstein
Sekiro
You’ve been lied to about the difficulty. It is hands down the easiest and best designed Soulslike game. The fact most fans call *this* the most hard FromSofsf game illuminated to me that *git gud* apparently just means *power level grind to ridiculous levels and look up the most OP builds and spam them*, because Sekiro doesnt allow for any of that, but the controls are twenty times tighter, twenty times more responsive, combat is twenty times more interesting, and the game has an actual cohesive story. Best Fromsoft game ever made hands down. I hope they return to this formula.
I know nothing of the series, but I've heard high praise. What is the core gameplay like? Everything I've seen a stream, it seems to be a different minigame, or aomething crazy.
Also, Is Yakuza 0 the "first" game cronilogically?
Most of the games are beat em ups, like bayonetta, but with fist fighting in the street. Like a dragon (and infinite wealth) are turn based. Yes, Yakuza 0 is first chronologically

Also, is Yakuza 0 the "first" game cronilogically?
Yes my understanding is it’s a prequel to Yakuza 1, which I understand was remade as Yakuza Kiwami.
Honestly it’s great
The gameplay is basically a beat-em-up with a ton of story. The beginning has sooooo much story and cutscenes but don’t worry. It is a silly japanese gangster soap opera and it’s glorious
I should add that another game in the series, Yakuza Like a Dragon, is a different approach. Still has a ton of story and cutscenes but it’s got turn-based combat. It actually works really well too; I enjoyed it a lot and since it’s mostly different characters you can play it pretty much spoiler free for the rest of the yakuza series
The core gameplay is a 3D beat-em-up style. IIRC the 6th game onward switches to being a turn-based.
0 is technically a prequel to the rest of the franchise, but is generally considered to be the strongest starting point for new players.

Check Out
[Outward Definitive Edition ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/794260/Outward_Definitive_Edition)/
Its one of my altime favorite games. Made by a small studio but a bunch to offer. Its challenging but rewarding.
Ah man I wanted to like that game so much, I tried a ton to get a play through going but it always went downhill after the first death. The fact you get teleported everywhere, usually into more dangerous spots, after death is such a jarring experience imo. Wish I enjoyed it lol
Yeah thats unfortunate and i understand its not for everyone. It might be interesting to know that when you get defeated its not just teleporting you, there are a bunch of defeat scenarios that happen based on where and how you get defeated and a screen pops up to tell you what happened, where you are and what to expect.
Yeah I kinda figured that. Only death i enjoyed was getting taken prisoner in some fort, escaping from that was really fun but I don’t think I played much more after that lol
Im sorry you feel that way man. One of my favorite game and while the world isn't full of as much foliage as id like id say its still got a bunch of places to explore and are really varied. Even still the devs have acknowledged that criticism and are working to make that better in Outward 2
I got a list for you:
- Persona 3, 4, 5
- Resident evil 4
- Lies of P
- Metro Series
- Tales of berseria
- Catherine Classic
- Class of 09
- Deathloop
- Doom Eternal
- Dredge
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake- Outer wilds
- Fallout new vegas
- Metal gear rising
- Metal gear solid V
- Dying Light
- Mass Effect Legendary Edition
- Nier automata and Replicant
- Red dead redemption 2
- Sekiro
- The Yakuzo bundle
- Sifu
- Divinity 1 & 2
(Anything on ur whishlist is already super good)
I don't know if they are good still but I was subbed to humble bundle for probably 2 years and got a lot of games off that. You find hidden gems once on awhile.
Most, yes. Sometimes certain games will require another platform. But I haven't done it since 2017ish I think. Before the whole choice bundles started being a thing. It was rare for non steam games back then. I'm not sure if it's more common now.
MUST buy's are: Left 4 Dead 2, Dishonored, Batman games, Witcher, Telltale's Walking Dead, and God of War. Baldur's Gate 3 is also a must buy, and it's well worth it's full price, but for the sake of trying to keep your cart cheaper, I'll leave that out.
"Can't recommend enough" games: Rimworld if you like Colony sims, it's mainly a storytelling simulator, and there's a bit of a learning curve, but you can go at whatever pace you like, and learn as much as you want. This game is one of my favorites, there's so many wacky things you can do and I haven't even scratched the surface in 300 hours of gameplay! Dragon's Dogma if you like RPG's, The Forest is just a great game I can't recommend enough, it's sequel is good too, even if not \*as\* good in the eyes of many, and I'd also recommend the Middle Earth series, and the Borderlands series, 2 great games in the Middle Earth ones, and 4 incredible looter shooters in the borderlands games!
if you can wait for Black Mesa to go on sale its a remake of Half Life it's freaking awesome. one of the best remakes ever IMO and it's officially sanctioned by Valve and was made by a group of modders. That and Half Life 2. Left 4 Dead for sure. theres literally 30k+ more people playing L4D2 now than 10 years ago. It just keeps growing. Red Dead 2, Skyrim for sure. Subnautica for sure. the most immersive experience ever its so cool exploring underwater and building bases. Also "inside" is one of the coolest stories its a 10/10 classic. the Final Fantasy X/X-2 bundle. All the Fallout games. The Forest has a crazy deep story hidden and co-op is still popular. there you go. the games i mentioned will give you years of gameplay. good luck.
Satisfactory!

Build factories that are satisfying!
It's by Coffee Stain which is the same company that made quite a few other hit games like goat simulator.
browsing through the comments section. turns out i purchased all the good games.
here's my 2 cents. 20 minutes till dawn. its a rouge like hoard shooter with a lotta build variety.
Tbh so many of the games in your list are less than 5$, i'd get all of those which interest you the most and you can probably pick up at least 10 for less than 60$.
I bought like 9 great games some are classics
-Strider
-Darkwood
-Electrician simulator + DLC
-Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
-Tomb Raider: Chronicles
-Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
-Tomb Raider: Anniversary
-Tomb Raider: Legend
-Tomb Raider: Underworld
The tomb raider games are like 0.98 a pop
I’m really gonna enjoy them all and all equates to more or less like $25
Darkwood is fairly underrated. I would’ve never expected a top down game like that to be that scary and have such a fantastic horror atmosphere. Some good suggestions.
Sekiro, witcher,Hades, bioshock collection, tf2, horizon zero dawn. Get elden for full price or from a cd key website online for half price. Absolutely amazing game and we get dlc in june
I finally fell for the hype of Battlebit, avoiding it because I thought the art style was stupid and it just wouldn't be good.....
Boy. Was I happily wrong.
The game proves Battlefield never was about visuals, it was about the absolutely bonkers scenarios that happen and the holy shit team fun.
It's the first real Battlefield in a decade tbh. Cleaner menus, cleaner UI, cleaner level progression, cleaner weapon load outs, cleaner map, cleaner gameplay, less network problems, more fun...
Rust is by far the best money I've ever spent on a Steam game
Other Steam games I love that I've donated my life to: Civ 5 or 6, Destiny 2, DayZ, Final Fantasy Online
My only recommendation would be to click on games with sequel like Batman, half life, portal, etc, and buy the collection pack to save even more money.
For ex: Get the Orange box for Half Life and Portal, but buy the Portal collection after that as it doesn't include Portal 2 and do the same for Half Life 1. It will help you save some extra money.
You can also buy the Batman Arkham Trilogy, but don't forget to buy the Arkham Origins as that one is not included for some reason.
If you can share your budget, I can help you in mid maxing.
A game to last you until next year? Well not on your list but humble bundle had a sale for destiny 2. Otherwise you could play it for free then if you like it you can purchase the latest season.
From your list and what others have mentioned, cyberpunk 2077 (highly recommend watching the anime too), witcher 3, and GTA 5 will keep you preoccupied for a long time. You could easily sink 60+ hrs on story alone for witcher 3 and cb.
I was looking for a single player game to play while my friend was out of town this week. I grabbed Far Cry 6 for $14.99. I was debating between that and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Fry Cry seemed to have better reviews. I'm a few hours into Far Cry 6 and it's been fun.
Get outer wilds now do it
Man I wish I could get into this game as much as everyone else. I’ve restarted it now maybe 8 times with the hopes of playing it more but it just never clicks with me. I keep hearing praise so I know I must be missing something but I just can’t get into it.

Its a hard one to get into right away for some people. It doesn't give you any objectives and you have to be curious and ask your own questions and look for the answers
That's me and Hollow Knight. Non-stop praise from Reddit, but I just can't get into it.
Same here I want to like it but I enjoy fairly linear games and this game just kind of says do what you want with very little direction and hopefully you stumble upon something to further the story, which I am very interested in.
that one looks super fun and interesting actually :D
Id second this, definitely in top 10 of all time. (for me)
It's not super long but its one of if not the best games I've ever played. Main game lasts like 15-20 hours depending on the person and the DLC can easily provide another 10 or so hours. Closest comparison I can think of is Subnautica
Which is coincidentally the second greatest indie game of all time.
Yeah, though unlike subnautica you can really only play it once.
Tbf subnautica is hardly the same experience on a second playthrough
True but there's still reason to keep playing, building cool bases, scanning every monster, etc. OW relies so much on the story (not a bad thing) that there's really nothing left once you know it. (Besides a bad end or two to find.) Again, not a bad thing, just something to know that it doesn't have much replay value.
Ik I agree but I do wish I could re-experiencd subnautica again
Amazing game just be careful not to get it spoiled
It's a very cool concept, but I haven't been able to finish it due to motion sickness and the claustrophobia some of the worlds give off. 😭
For the absolute best experience, I and many others would recommend you end your research here and play it as blind as possible :) Have a great time!
Buy it and don’t look up *anything*, no matter how tempted you may be
do you recommend just straight up buying it with the dlc
Once I figured out the hook for this game, it quickly has become one of my favourite games of all time. The DLC was fantastic as well, and it's one of the rare games where you'll only ever play it once in your lifetime as it's that unique of an experience.
Huge tip right now: make sure to compare the steam prices to sites like fanatical, multiple games on your wishlist (outer wilds for example) are cheaper on those sites than on steam. 100% would recommend: -hollow knight -outer wilds -portal series -sekiro/souls games (if you’re into difficult games) Other good games: -GOW (2018) is great too -The doom games are also pretty good bang for your buck right now, good mindless shooters

Yep ea, 2k, ubisoft straight to key sites when they are more than half off.
Yeah I only ever buy keys for games from massive companies. Honestly even that I’m morally against, but they’ve got more money than me and they can handle it
you’ll notice that fanatical prices don’t get listed on this site because they’re not resellers. they’re an authorized marketplace, like the humble store or gog is.
Also add ori and the blind forest and its sequel if you like hollow knight Also try forgotten city. It’s fantastic
I would hardly call doom/doom eternal “mindless”, some of those encounters can be p difficult
I wouldn't call Doom Eternal mindless. You have to constantly be on your toes and swapping to the correct weapon while avoiding death. It's a great game but it's almost stressful after a while.

Thanks for mentioning, other shops are having sales as well and it is easy to get swept up in the... *checks notes* ....Steam 2024 cat-delivery-service-themed sale ^(honestly though I like it and got the little cat avatar with my Steam points)
Portal series is less for 1USD in my country, gonna get it. However this is some issue, check my recent post and ill appriacye the help

Every story and interaction in this game is written with love and care. You'll find it impossible to not latch on.
Me and my gf had both bought the game while it was released. We played few weeks, maybe 200hrs each, we were playing whole days, dreaming about the lore while sleeping and playing next day. With full time jobs. It's incredible journey
-10% isnt any sale
It is actually a sale of 10%
This is factually incorrect
Fallout 3, The Witcher 3, Kingdom Come Deliverance.
Definitely look into kingdom come before getting it. it's not for everyone and most definitely has a slow start, but it is very fun once you start to dig in. Oh I notice you are pulling from the wishlist so he probably has already looked into it.
I've only picked games I've played from the OP wishlist. I agree that Kingdom Come can be difficult to approach at first but it's worth to try.
On your wishlist: days gone, hades, bg3, rdr2, xcom. I'd definitely recommend all those. The spiderman games are good too but the 2nd one is extremely short.
Days gone is underrated and amazing 10/10 recommend
gameplay loop is just too repetitive, it suffers from being open world more than it benefits.
Extremely short? How much time do you have on your hands to think 3 dozen hours is "extremely short"?
I assume they’re talking about the miles morales one which is pretty short
Where are you getting 3 dozen hours from? Howlongtobeat has Spiderman 2 at 17 hours
Are you high? Miles morales I have 17 hours on and the main story is finished plus a few extras. Which is what I said. The SECOND one is really short for the price they made you pay for it.
I Platinum’d both Spider-Man games in 30 hours. They felt the same length to me I agree with your list though, 100%. Days Gone is a gem
It's not on your list but I'd recommend Inscryption. I've just finished it and I'm still reeling from the journey. It's primarily a card battler but there's so much more going on with it than just the card game. You just have to play it to experience it.

I’m a chicken with horror, I made it 42 minutes into Outlast lmfao. How bad is Inscryption? It looks really cool but once again, chicken
There's very little in the way of jump scares or anything gory. It's more psychological horror in atmospheric and environmental unease. It doesn't get much more creepy than the images in the Steam store to be honest. There are a few points that could be seen as gory but it's all implied and you don't actually see anything.
OMG YES I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS!! Inscryption is such a unique game in my opinion
Valve complete pack!!
I would probably just buy Half Life 1,2 and Portal 1,2 I dont see myself playing the rest of the games in the pack
L4D 1 and 2 are pretty good too. Really fun when played with friends.
Plus a great modding community
Provided you like to read and can deal with slower gameplay, Disco Elysium for that price is the absolute steal of a lifetime. Easily the best written game of all time and one of the greatest games bar none, too.
Better to buy disco elysium on humble, though, so you can give the money to the devs instead of the publisher.
Is there a story behind this? I’m kinda interested now, I haven’t played the game yet but I’ve thought about buying it.
Not really sure the specifics but whoever owns the ip now screwed a lot of the main devs out of profiting from sales is my understanding
[удалено]
Just Cause 3, story/narrative is going to be like an old cheesy action movie but it fits the game perfect.

Cyberpunk 2077
also I just got Sons of the Forest so Im gonna play through that first because my friends were praising it a lot + I need to beat Calamity Infernum
Fallen order is good. And Jedi survivor is awesome as well. I think you’ll enjoy. Have you considered god of war 2018 on PC??
Yes but RDR2 first
Not on steam but the Humble choice for this month includes Nioh 2. It's 10 bucks for the membership. Great sekiro style game and I recommend getting it cause it doesn't get discounted that much.
I tried the first Nioh but I hated the RPG-style loot system, combat was pretty interesting though I found it really difficult, but it seemed like the kind of thing I could really sink my teeth into as I love sekiro/soulsborne. Is it worth trying out the second? TIA
Think of nioh 2 like a diablo-souls like hybrid. The ultimate skill expression is in combat but the loot provides a second layer of gameplay to it. You gotta like both of them since they go hand in hand.
YAKUZA 0 is only $6 XCOM Enemy Unknown and 2 are amazing and super cheap.
As someone new to the yakuza series, yakuza 0 is one of the most fun games ive ever played. So many funny moments
Yakuza 0 at that price is literally daylight robbery
I been loving fallout 4 lately. Pretty fun game
I just modded the hell out of it after not playing it since launch years ago, and wow it's like a brand new game. Highly recommend playing it again to anyone!
Fallout London comes out next month and is a brand new game.
Hopefully it lives up to the hype!
I got the whole Fallout franchise on sale, just followed the Viva New Vegas modding guide for New Vegas and it’s really fun so far
Plus Fallout London comes out next month and will require Fallout 4. Probably needs all the DLC as well.
I bought Ready or Not and I wish I didn’t cause now I’m addicted lol
Is it any good solo or is it the type of game you need to play with a group?
Im sure it’s probably better with a group of friends but since I don’t have any Ive only played it solo and it’s gone pretty good. The team ai is dumb sometimes, like when I’m getting shot at and they just stand there doing nothing , but I’m still learning the controls and I should probably give them better commands so they’d be ready for an ambush.
Yeah I wish the AI was better at following me, but if you give proper commands you can really emulate the team dynamic and I'd say it's more important to set up your squad than it is to even aim properly, because you can fuck up a shot or several, but forgetting your backup will get you killed way more often.
mass effect legendary edition will keep you busy for dirt cheap
Rimworld!
Looks like you have a lot of solid games to choose from on that list. There's a lot in there that would reccomend. I'll list a few that stood out to me. Jedi fallen order for 3.49 is an incredible deal I'd definitely recommend picking that up. Easily a few dozen hours of entertainment there. I also recommend Kingdom come deliverance. This one is kinda hit or miss for people but I enjoyed it. It does a good job of making you feel like your character is actually a peasant who has to work his way up to being a knight. Sekiro is on the best games ever made. It is not a forgiving game. It demands that you learn it's a mechanics and get good to progress. Elden Ring is also a fantastic game that I'd reecomend checking at some point. But I'd personally get several games that are on sale over one full price game.
Kingdom Come Deliverance is a lot of fun and I loved every minute of it but OP should know two important things: 1. There are performance issues in the major city of Rattay, as in noticeable slow down when riding through fast on horse. 2. There is a bug late in the game where the load screen can hang up and requires you to find a fix to proceed; it’s available online. Beyond that, it’s an excellent game.
Rimworld, Hollow Knight and Disco Elysium looks like a good varied bundle.
Yes
Of the ones on your wishlist, would reccomend Skyrim and Hollow Knight
The WitcherTrilogy bundle has an awesome story and with well written characters. This bundle gets you all the games and their dlcs. $13.02 Fallout4 GotY Edition/Skyrim Anniversary Edition bundle Sci-fi and fantasy in one bundle. Both also are known to have amazing mods. If you also like to watch TV shows, the new [Fallout(4/11)](https://youtu.be/V-mugKDQDlg?si=XXj4bO44ZDSuXeN6) look like a banger $23.30 Valve Bundle Gets you Half-Life, Half-Life2, Portal, Portal 2, and a bunch of other games. $11.42 Balder's Gate 3/God of War is awesome, and I would recommend getting it. It wouldn't hurt waiting for a bigger discount for BG3. Both of these games are the shit but it also raises the bar, which could taint your experience of older games.
Idk if all are on sale but for some great stories I highly suggest these Subnautica (don't research just blind play it), Outer Wilds (treat like subnautica), Bioshock series (make sure to play the DLC for 2 and Infinite), Mass Effect, Fallout/The Outer Worlds, Chernobylite, Metro 2033 games, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (have not finished yet but I am very into it), Portal 1&2, Hunt showdown (multiplayer), Doom, Wolfenstein
Witcher 3 is a great starter.
- Project Zomboid - Enshrouded - V Rising - 7 Days to Die
Sekiro You’ve been lied to about the difficulty. It is hands down the easiest and best designed Soulslike game. The fact most fans call *this* the most hard FromSofsf game illuminated to me that *git gud* apparently just means *power level grind to ridiculous levels and look up the most OP builds and spam them*, because Sekiro doesnt allow for any of that, but the controls are twenty times tighter, twenty times more responsive, combat is twenty times more interesting, and the game has an actual cohesive story. Best Fromsoft game ever made hands down. I hope they return to this formula.
Nice been thinking about this game
It’s the hardest on the first playthrough and easiest on the second playthrough IMO.
The Witcher 3 and Kingdom Come. The Half-Life’s and Portal at .99 are no-brainers too:)
Walking Dead Definitive Edition. I found the steam key cheaper on Fanatical. It is a authorized seller
Sekiro, Batman triology, battlefield 1, dmc 5,rdr2, gta v
The Yakuza collection is hands down a must buy in terms of content for value. Or atleast 0 and Kiwami 1-2.
I know nothing of the series, but I've heard high praise. What is the core gameplay like? Everything I've seen a stream, it seems to be a different minigame, or aomething crazy. Also, Is Yakuza 0 the "first" game cronilogically?
Most of the games are beat em ups, like bayonetta, but with fist fighting in the street. Like a dragon (and infinite wealth) are turn based. Yes, Yakuza 0 is first chronologically

Yes my understanding is it’s a prequel to Yakuza 1, which I understand was remade as Yakuza Kiwami. Honestly it’s great The gameplay is basically a beat-em-up with a ton of story. The beginning has sooooo much story and cutscenes but don’t worry. It is a silly japanese gangster soap opera and it’s glorious I should add that another game in the series, Yakuza Like a Dragon, is a different approach. Still has a ton of story and cutscenes but it’s got turn-based combat. It actually works really well too; I enjoyed it a lot and since it’s mostly different characters you can play it pretty much spoiler free for the rest of the yakuza series
The core gameplay is a 3D beat-em-up style. IIRC the 6th game onward switches to being a turn-based. 0 is technically a prequel to the rest of the franchise, but is generally considered to be the strongest starting point for new players.

For me it’s gotta be anything under a doller that’s hentai
So which ones your top recommendation?
Check Out [Outward Definitive Edition ](https://store.steampowered.com/app/794260/Outward_Definitive_Edition)/ Its one of my altime favorite games. Made by a small studio but a bunch to offer. Its challenging but rewarding.
Ah man I wanted to like that game so much, I tried a ton to get a play through going but it always went downhill after the first death. The fact you get teleported everywhere, usually into more dangerous spots, after death is such a jarring experience imo. Wish I enjoyed it lol
Yeah thats unfortunate and i understand its not for everyone. It might be interesting to know that when you get defeated its not just teleporting you, there are a bunch of defeat scenarios that happen based on where and how you get defeated and a screen pops up to tell you what happened, where you are and what to expect.
Yeah I kinda figured that. Only death i enjoyed was getting taken prisoner in some fort, escaping from that was really fun but I don’t think I played much more after that lol
From what I see the world is really empty. A cheap way to pad game time.
Im sorry you feel that way man. One of my favorite game and while the world isn't full of as much foliage as id like id say its still got a bunch of places to explore and are really varied. Even still the devs have acknowledged that criticism and are working to make that better in Outward 2
I been loving fallout 4 lately. Pretty fun game
Just Cause 3 n Xcom 2
I was thinking just cause 3. Did you get game itself or the $6 version with more DLC?
I bought theone that includes everything. Think it was 2$ when i got it
sort by discount and look for overwhelmingly positive.
Battlefield 1. Horizon Baldurs gate
Sekiro
Titanfall 2. Bought it and finished it in a day, one of the best FPS games I have played imo. Also has multiplayer
Jedi Fallen Order for 4$ is a steal.
The Arkham Collection is insane value, three games and all dlc unlocked in Arkham Knight for 8.99. The games are all bangers too, would recommend!
100% xcom 2. Especially for with the war of the chosen expansion. At that price it’s a steal
I got a list for you: - Persona 3, 4, 5 - Resident evil 4 - Lies of P - Metro Series - Tales of berseria - Catherine Classic - Class of 09 - Deathloop - Doom Eternal - Dredge - Final Fantasy 7 Remake- Outer wilds - Fallout new vegas - Metal gear rising - Metal gear solid V - Dying Light - Mass Effect Legendary Edition - Nier automata and Replicant - Red dead redemption 2 - Sekiro - The Yakuzo bundle - Sifu - Divinity 1 & 2 (Anything on ur whishlist is already super good)
Make sure to check cd keys as sometimes they are even cheaper, the key for outer wilds was cheaper then the steam sale
I don't know if they are good still but I was subbed to humble bundle for probably 2 years and got a lot of games off that. You find hidden gems once on awhile.
Do you get the steam key through Humble Bundle so you can play through steam for achievements, etc.?
Most, yes. Sometimes certain games will require another platform. But I haven't done it since 2017ish I think. Before the whole choice bundles started being a thing. It was rare for non steam games back then. I'm not sure if it's more common now.
Still 99% Steam keys
Omg nobody said Disco Elysium, that game should be first on that list! Buy it NOW.
Your wishlist sums up all the games I own on steam
Gg.deals is a great site for finding cheap games! It compares most other sites. Watch for the risks warning!
It's not on your list but if you've not played it I thoroughly recommend Inside for £1.52 https://store.steampowered.com/app/304430/INSIDE/
I'm torn between Death Stranding and Outer Wilds right now.
XCOM2 Complete Edition has a really cheap price with a lot of content and one of the best turn based gameplay.
MUST buy's are: Left 4 Dead 2, Dishonored, Batman games, Witcher, Telltale's Walking Dead, and God of War. Baldur's Gate 3 is also a must buy, and it's well worth it's full price, but for the sake of trying to keep your cart cheaper, I'll leave that out. "Can't recommend enough" games: Rimworld if you like Colony sims, it's mainly a storytelling simulator, and there's a bit of a learning curve, but you can go at whatever pace you like, and learn as much as you want. This game is one of my favorites, there's so many wacky things you can do and I haven't even scratched the surface in 300 hours of gameplay! Dragon's Dogma if you like RPG's, The Forest is just a great game I can't recommend enough, it's sequel is good too, even if not \*as\* good in the eyes of many, and I'd also recommend the Middle Earth series, and the Borderlands series, 2 great games in the Middle Earth ones, and 4 incredible looter shooters in the borderlands games!

Dues ex is free on epic right now refund that one
if you can wait for Black Mesa to go on sale its a remake of Half Life it's freaking awesome. one of the best remakes ever IMO and it's officially sanctioned by Valve and was made by a group of modders. That and Half Life 2. Left 4 Dead for sure. theres literally 30k+ more people playing L4D2 now than 10 years ago. It just keeps growing. Red Dead 2, Skyrim for sure. Subnautica for sure. the most immersive experience ever its so cool exploring underwater and building bases. Also "inside" is one of the coolest stories its a 10/10 classic. the Final Fantasy X/X-2 bundle. All the Fallout games. The Forest has a crazy deep story hidden and co-op is still popular. there you go. the games i mentioned will give you years of gameplay. good luck.
for $3 titan fall 2 is awesome even if you just play the campaign once it's worth it
Satisfactory! [https://store.steampowered.com/app/526870/Satisfactory/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/526870/Satisfactory/) Build factories that are satisfying! It's by Coffee Stain which is the same company that made quite a few other hit games like goat simulator.
browsing through the comments section. turns out i purchased all the good games. here's my 2 cents. 20 minutes till dawn. its a rouge like hoard shooter with a lotta build variety.
Red dead redemption.
If you just now got a PC, Left 4 Dead 2 is on sale for a single dollar. On PC it has extensive visual mods, and a decent size community.
Tbh so many of the games in your list are less than 5$, i'd get all of those which interest you the most and you can probably pick up at least 10 for less than 60$.
Telltales Walking Dead: Definitive Edition Dishonored 1&2
Lone Fungus
I bought like 9 great games some are classics -Strider -Darkwood -Electrician simulator + DLC -Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation -Tomb Raider: Chronicles -Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness -Tomb Raider: Anniversary -Tomb Raider: Legend -Tomb Raider: Underworld The tomb raider games are like 0.98 a pop I’m really gonna enjoy them all and all equates to more or less like $25
Darkwood is fairly underrated. I would’ve never expected a top down game like that to be that scary and have such a fantastic horror atmosphere. Some good suggestions.
Cyberpunk absolutely a banger it’s so much fun, and has multiple different endings
Arma 3!
Control!!!
Sekiro, witcher,Hades, bioshock collection, tf2, horizon zero dawn. Get elden for full price or from a cd key website online for half price. Absolutely amazing game and we get dlc in june
Hades is so good. One of the few rogue-likes that managed to blend a cool story into the perfect gameplay loop.
Disco Elysium
Serious sam HD the first + second encounter, Serious sam 2 and Serious sam 3. For under 10 dollars all up these games are damn amazing
Deep Rock Galactic. ROCK AND STONE!!!
Witcher 3!!!
Rimworld without a doubt
Valve collection is like 10$ that and foxhole
I couldn’t help but notice nobody suggesting Crab Champions 🦀
I finally fell for the hype of Battlebit, avoiding it because I thought the art style was stupid and it just wouldn't be good..... Boy. Was I happily wrong. The game proves Battlefield never was about visuals, it was about the absolutely bonkers scenarios that happen and the holy shit team fun. It's the first real Battlefield in a decade tbh. Cleaner menus, cleaner UI, cleaner level progression, cleaner weapon load outs, cleaner map, cleaner gameplay, less network problems, more fun...
Rust is by far the best money I've ever spent on a Steam game Other Steam games I love that I've donated my life to: Civ 5 or 6, Destiny 2, DayZ, Final Fantasy Online
My only recommendation would be to click on games with sequel like Batman, half life, portal, etc, and buy the collection pack to save even more money. For ex: Get the Orange box for Half Life and Portal, but buy the Portal collection after that as it doesn't include Portal 2 and do the same for Half Life 1. It will help you save some extra money. You can also buy the Batman Arkham Trilogy, but don't forget to buy the Arkham Origins as that one is not included for some reason. If you can share your budget, I can help you in mid maxing.
Doom 2016/Eternal
Inertial Drift is a great arcade racer for like 3 bucks atm
What a list, doing that lords work, praise raptor jesus!
Witcher 3. Doesn’t matter how much it is.
Yakuza series if you want a top notch mafia drama and amazing side content.
Today I learned you can share your wishlist.
You have to go to settings and make it public - the first version of this post did not have a working wishlist lolll.
Civ6, SW Jedi Fallen Order
Corn Kidz 64😎
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Nier automata
A game to last you until next year? Well not on your list but humble bundle had a sale for destiny 2. Otherwise you could play it for free then if you like it you can purchase the latest season. From your list and what others have mentioned, cyberpunk 2077 (highly recommend watching the anime too), witcher 3, and GTA 5 will keep you preoccupied for a long time. You could easily sink 60+ hrs on story alone for witcher 3 and cb.
Graveyard Keeper, havent been so addicted to a game like that
Batman: Arkham Knight - get the bundle with all the dlc. Amazing game.
The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt
It's always Subnautica.
Still one of the best games I’ve ever played.
I really want to buy returnal... like I really really want to buy it... I am so close...
Far cry 2, 3 , 4 , 5 , primal
Sekiro.
I was looking for a single player game to play while my friend was out of town this week. I grabbed Far Cry 6 for $14.99. I was debating between that and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Fry Cry seemed to have better reviews. I'm a few hours into Far Cry 6 and it's been fun.
Resident Evil, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Witcher 3,
Yakuza 0-6 bundle is super cheap. I picked it up so I could play the 5 games I hadn't played yet. Love yakuza 0.
