I need some Steam games recommendations...

[Patre]

I'm looking for good FPS (like COD, CS, Battlefield etc..) or any others that have good graphics/gameplay. I also like games like Bastion, Portal2, Trine2 etc...
My budget is $20 or less and I don't mind getting just 1 or even a few games on Steams weekly deals (if they're really good).

I haven't purchased it yet but Insurgency looks pretty neat.

 

[darkewaffle]

If you've never played it Half-Life 2 is one of the true classics imo. The Bioshock series is also a great couple of FPS games and can be had for pretty cheap by now.

I do have Half-Life2 and also Bioshock Infinite.....yeah, these are good ones.


@Snock: I'll check out insurgency.......is it on sale at Steam? (I can't access Steam from work)

Well, we have the daily deals on Humble Bundle right now, though they end in 5 minutes. It has a couple of Saints Row titles and Metro 2033. We'll see what the new one coming is, maybe some good stuff will come in there (I personally didn't care to get this one as I don't like Saints Row, I have Dead Island on 360, and Metro 2033 isn't worth a $6 buy-in).

Red Orchestra 2 and Insurgency are some good tactical FPS games with nice graphics and decent playerbases.

Yup, steam only I believe :thumbsup:

Planetside 2 = Free2Play MMO-FPS (You can get it through Steam, but you don't have to)

Smite = Free2Play 3rd person MOBA (think League of Legends or DOTA with a splash of FPS style)

Team Fortress 2 = Steam F2P

Pocket the $20 = Profit

 

[marmasatt]

Play the stalkers with "complete" mods and Metro 2033/Last night.

 

[TheSlamma]

If you liked Trine 2, look into Mark of the Ninja

 

[southkrn]

Dota 2. Dota 2. and maybe Counterstrike GO

 

[toughtrasher]

If you're into funny and not-too-serious first person combat, I recommend Team Fortress 2. One of my all time favorite games when I was younger

 

[futurefields]

It's not in the genre you listed but Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed is on Steam for $4.99 right now. Great Mario Kart style action.

I'll second Mark of the Ninja. It isn't a FPS, but a great platformer. Get it on sale for $5, and thank me later.

As for FPS, if you are fan, you know what you like. There isn't any great game you'd love hidden in what you haven't played. That beast simply doesn't exist. I wish they did, but they do not. This is assuming you follow gaming like others here on this board, and have not been living under a rock in North Korea.

I'm hoping that $50 Sonic pack goes on a deep sale someday...75% off of that, and I'll jump on the Sonic train for $12.50 (then never actually play anything).

 

[Majes]

Dungeon Defenders is worth a look if you can catch it on sale.

LOL!! It's funny with all the paid games I have, this is my favorite/default game (need a daily dose of it). We're trying to put a team from Anandtech in having a "Fight Night" (there's a thread about this in this forum)......Join up!!! :thumbsup:

I also have installed and played (briefly) Planetside2.....

Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed is a fav. with my little ones......and I also like it.


I'm looking into Mark of the Ninja and Insuguncy.

Saints Row 3 ($5.99 for the Entire Package) and IV are really fun. Sleeping Dogs is great too. ($4.99)

What do you think of Spec Ops?

 

[werepossum]

Seconded. The F.E.A.R. games are good as well.

 

[codyray10]

What do you think of Spec Ops?

I played through and beat Spec Ops last year, it's definitely worth a play through. The story was great and the gameplay is good

 

[giantpandaman2]

X-Com or FTL.

They can devour whole nights without you noticing.

Deus Ex HR Directors Cut is fps-ish, but with rpg elements...pretty good title.

The older Thief games(Thief gold, Thief Metal Age, Thief Deadly Shadows). I've been playing through the series its awesome. Add hd textures and the games play very nicely imo.

The original Deus Ex(Deus Ex GOTY), also with hd texture mod lengthy, deep, entertaining game.

Just my 2c.
