First purchase during Steam Summer Sale
In my country these games cost between $2 and $7. My thoughts on these titles include Dishonored Bioshock 2, Infinite Shadow of Mordor LA noire batman arkham knight, Origins, City and Asylum (Gothy), Saints Row 3 & 4, Sniper Elite 3, Payday 2, Skyrim Borderlands 2, Metro Last Light, Metro 2033 Redux, AC Black Flag Outlast, Sleeping Dogs, Definitive Edition, Tomb Raider 2013, Rise of Rome, Max Payne 3, Hitman Absolution. Most of these are priced at $2 to $4. I can't afford to buy all of them!
I've purchased two titles so far—a digital version of Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe and Stardew Valley. I'm also thinking about other games like Insurgency, but I want something different from the usual genres in my collection. Since I'm already a big fan of Planetside 2, I don't need another team-based FPS.
Bioshock Infinite, Outlast, and Shadow of Mordor offer enjoyable experiences. Don’t judge Skyrim or Shadow of Mordor harshly—they’re decent titles. If you own the Legendary edition of Skyrim (with all DLCs), you can get the remaster in October for free. Including all DLCs plus the game costs around 44 euros, which might be a bit less depending on your currency, so it’s unclear if it’s worth the investment.
remember that modifications for Skyrim can bring the game to a visually impressive level similar to the remastered version—though this may vary depending on your preferences. Skyrim offers a lot of enjoyment, but some players disliked it once they experienced it. I think the issue might be that others prefer RPG titles more. Borderlands 2 stands out if you find someone to play with, especially locally. Bioshock has promising sounds, though I only played the first game and really liked it. Morrowind is truly epic, but Metro demands a powerful machine; I never saw it run smoothly at 30 frames on my brothers’ laptops. If you’re interested in Metro, make sure your PC can handle it. All Assassin’s Creed titles are great, and Black Flag received positive reviews. It’s not a horror game where you kill enemies, is it? You really want that? I’m not sure, but maybe others enjoyed it. Saints Row offers some entertaining moments too, with local multiplayer available on both versions 3 and 4. Saints Row 4 feels like an expansion for Saints Row 3, though I also enjoyed it. These are the games I love most, just because they’re well-made and nominated for Game of the Year. Don’t assume all are bad—personal taste matters. I also haven’t tried every title on your list. Steam often has discounts on DOOM, CS:GO, GTA V, etc. Just because these are good doesn’t guarantee you’ll like them. If you enjoy similar experiences, go for it. I almost forgot about Disco Elysium—it’s intense, and discounts can help you prepare. My top picks are: Skyrim, Disco Elysium, Borderlands 2, AC, Black Flag, and Shadows of Mordor. That said, not all games are perfect, and preferences differ.
The enhanced visuals aren't the sole upgrade. The engine has also been updated to match the one in Fallout 4—essentially a refined version of what was used in Skyrim. It runs as a 64-bit application, which is more than 32-bit and supports higher memory usage and improved performance. This should enable greater RAM utilization and enhanced stability. I suspect they’re also planning to address some quest issues, though there’s a substantial unofficial patch available.
AC Black Flag stands out as the top choice, definitely OP. Max Payne 3 offers a solid action experience, surpassing Ryse Son of Rome. Sleeping Dogs delivers a GTA-inspired feel, far exceeding Saints Row 3 and 4 in my view. Skyrim has its charm but the quest design and storytelling fall short. Overall, you can enjoy a lot from these titles. I suggest AC Black Flag, Max Payne 3, Sleeping Dogs, Skyrim, and Payday 2. Also, Bioshock Infinite is a better pick than Bioshock 2.
It's surprising to learn that modders could create even more extreme content with a lot more modifications.
The initial cost of CSGO was $9, but the reduced price comes to just $4.
