You have $70 to allocate and are seeking suggestions for games you can enjoy for over 100 hours. Your collection includes popular titles like RS6, CS:GO, Insurgency, TF2, Dirty Bomb, and Chivalry Medieval Warfare. You’re leaning toward casual options and want to avoid spending too much on a single title. Star Wars Battlefront is on your list, but you’re concerned about its current player base and content. If you’re looking for budget-friendly purchases, consider checking online marketplaces or local game stores for discounts.
Planetside2 – available on STEAM and as a standalone experience. It’s a first-person shooter focused on PVP, open world exploration, and solo or group play. The challenge lies in the depth of skills required, surpassing most other FPS titles I’ve encountered. Warframe – free to play on STEAM, designed as a group-based FPS. You queue for a level, join others, complete it together, then return to the lobby. High-quality visuals and rapid-paced action make it engaging. A wide array of weapons and 'classes' are available. Drawback: It can feel repetitive with lots of grinding. Free items have limited storage; purchasing real money is necessary for more gear. Terraria – similar to Minecraft but with platforming elements. An excellent co-op title perfect for partners. My partner and I have spent over 400 hours exploring the game world together.

Additionally, the European servers tend to have poor performance. Many players lack proper communication tools—headsets and microphones are essential. Players from Europe often speak English, but this isn't always the case. The game excels in large-scale battles, requiring significant player numbers on both sides. The current server base doesn’t support these group sizes effectively. Opt for the US server with the lowest ping to improve your experience.
