Which steam games to get :D?

[VerticalDiscussions]

Hey there everyone! So currently i am unable to play them (school work), but since the discounts end by June 5th and i dont want to spend much more than 10-20€, which would be a great game (i dont want a game for 14,99€ like fallout 4 that needs an extra of 71€ for DLCs alone) for that price range?

 

I compiled a list that seems okay and i wanted to know what you would choose:

 

• Terraria + Terraria Soundtracks: 9,98€;
• Stardew Valley: 8,39€;
• Borderlands 2 GOTY: 9,90€;
• ARK: Survival Evolved: 19,97€ with all DLC's;
• XCOM 2: Digital Deluxe: 21,44€ (i suppose i can stretch an extra 1,44€);
• Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel + Season Pass: 20,99€;
• Borderlands "Take Over Your Life Bundle: 25,67€ (pretty much all the games, but without DLCs... not sure i like this one tough);
• Doom 3: BFG Edition: 4,99€;
• Doom Classic Complete: 3,74€;
• Minecraft (xD): 23,95€;

 

So guys i understand its a fairly long list, but i really just want some of these games or at least one major game. Terraria and XCOM 2:DD seem to be the coolest out of these, but if you guys know of any other worth waiting for or getting right now, please do leave an advice.

If you ever wanted an interactive version of college girl tumblr angst, indeed.

 

@VerticalDiscussions can't go wrong with either Terraria or XCOM 2.

I have Doom 2016 .

 

I do like the Civ games, but i think i would prefer to get the Beyond Earth (played Civ 5 already extensively :P) variant (which just so happens to also be under 20€).

 

Rocket league seems to be a great game too, ill check it out.

@VerticalDiscussions Also look at "Steamworld Heist", it's -66%. That's a super fun game. Steampunk meets Worms meets XCOM.

i think civ iv was better than v which changed a few things but fixed those in vi
Kerbal is super fun if building rockets and space planes and exploring space sound like fun to you.. you can play it seriously or just sandbox and create the stupidest rockets, launching you into the sun

Borderlands 2 is the winner here. This is not up for discussion.

Borderlands 2. The 1st game is good, but not worth that much.

The general consensus among fans of the series is that it's not a bad game, but it didn't bring much new to the table aside from a few new mechanics like low gravity, oxygen and ice weapons. It felt like a cash grab. The game goes on sale pretty often so I would play through 2 and its DLC 1st before you decide whether you want to get Pre-Sequel.

 

My personal view: I played it knowing what I was getting into because I'm a huge fan of the series. My main problems with the game are the pacing in the beginning. There's a lot of doing nothing in the beginning. It's been a problem with the series, but it's especially bad in Pre-Sequel. I also didn't like any of the classes. Obviously this is a personal thing so you might like the classes. The one thing I did like was scaling vending machines (not really a game changer though because bosses are still the best way to get the best loot). The 1st 2 didn't have crafting, but they introduced pseudo crafting in Pre-Sequel. I didn't really mess around with it much and I'm pretty sure it wasn't worth it.

BFG is a good call.

 

Wasteland 2 and Shadowrun Returns/Dragonfall/Hongkong are sick if you like XCOM.
