Any of the classic valve games (half life, portal, and their sequels). If auto shooters are your thing, vampire survivors is less than a small coffee. Dead space (the remake) is $15. Halo MCC is $10. Titanfall 2 is $3. The “new” tomb raider trilogy are all less than $5 each or get the bundle. Alan wake is $5. Prey is $3. And Batman Arkham origins is $2.
Just a handful of good games for cheap. There’s many more out there.
there’s a mod that works pretty well for that… nucleuscoop (it might have rebranded… haven’t loaded it in a bit)
I got the new Tomb Raider games free on Epic, but it seemed more like torture porn than a game. Had to turn it off.
lol, yeah. The animators definitely have a kink. They’re still pretty fun games, though.
From that list :
- Keep talking and nobody explodes: incredible fun with friends, even better if the help has the documents physically printed, there’s this magic that happens when you frantically search for the right page and try to keep calm
- Titanfall 2 : worth it just for the campaign, I don’t know about the state of multiplayer anymore (servers are back i think, no more need for a custom client), I last played it last year, people were understandably sweaty, movement and gameplay is unparalleled
- Vermintide 2 : in its best state ever it seems, hours of fun and great challenges, interesting mods for qol and to add to the game’s longevity, I dream of when Darktide will reach that point- Firewatch : nice story, beautiful art direction, ending is “controversial” in that it is kind of abrupt with little payoff, but the journey is great, imo a really good walking simulator
- Metro Exodus : superb open world, great conclusion to the series, pays off even more if you read the book, day night cycle, each map feels handmade given the amount of details, best “skewmorphic” interface in games
Edit : fuck me i edited my comment and accidentally deleted the paragraph about Firewatch, tldr beautiful art direction
All excellent recommendations, and I’ll triple down on the Vermintide 2 recommendation. One of the best bang for buck indi games out there. Darktide has similarly hit a state where I can recommend it as well finally, even if it took an embarrassingly long time to get to a Vermintide 2 level of playability. If you like the -tide games, give it a go.
Ballionaire is a pretty great stoner game. It’s a pachinko roguelite–excuse me, autobonker
Shamelessly copying my comment:
In order,
Chorus - AA paranormal 3d spaceship combat game
Cyber Hook - First person grapple hook platform racer
Tangle Tower - Charming point and click detective game
Patch Quest - Bullet hell roguelike
Subsurface Circular - Robot murder mystery visual novel
Yes Your Grace - Addictive story driven king resource management game
They Bleed Pixels - Brutal 2d action platformer
Devil Daggers - Single arena fps where you try to survive 500 seconds (and fail)
Loop Hero Soundtrack - The game is pretty well known, but its soundtrack is amazing enough to buy or pirate even if you don’t want to play it
Grim dawn is the best arpg of all time imo even better than d2
