Budget of 100$, what should I get?

[The Navigator]

Hi, gonna finally buy some new games on steam for once, instead of playing my old games, but im not entirely sure what to get/play. I realize this is entirely subjective, but i like a lot of different genres, so thats not really an issue for me. I just want some nice games to play!

In your place I would wait till Summer Sale (should start 27.06), there is a chance that you'll overpay if you buy something right now.
Regarding games - depends on what genres you like.

I looked on your list of games to get an idea on what you like to play.
It seems that most of the games you play are First Person shooters or some kind of 3D war involved game. Variations being souls-like samurai playstyle and strategy focussed war games. (such as sid meyer's games)

Honestly, in your case I would try to play the games you haven't played yet or played only a little. You have a ton of games that haven't been touched. You can get a sense of new games simply from trying out those.

Unless by new you mean "Unreal 5 new" or something.

Games are getting appearance wise more realistic, to the DEI point, but they still add jumps to vertical walls that increase jump height to 5 meters which can be executed one after the other, slow downs, spoil-me radars (see through walls where enemies are + objects to interact with art instead of discovering this yourself) + getting constant handholding and instructions on where to go, rain pipes where, despite falling from 3 meters and jumping at them from 5 meters away you can catch yourself onto and climb without them breaking or without you severely injuring yourself.
(I don't really get this whole realistic appearance joke when they do these things.)

You could still try those out I guess, but generally they wouldn't feel too different from playing Overwatch or S4 league if you go further back.

I think, you should try side scroller platformers such as metroidvania games.
and maybe some real horror games (not resident evil)... try Chilla's Art's games to get a feel for horror. The nightshift is pretty good.
breaks the immersion / exploration aspects of these games.

$50 of games(or one game)
$25 of DLC (soundtracks, map packs, etc)
$25 medium pizza any way you like it.

Many games here sucker you into a base game for 10-100$ then all the good stuff is in DLC's that are just as much and many of them.. Make sure you are prepared for that, If it's a game you like then by all means go for it.. Just remember this is a rental company, you don't own anything per say.. You would best to just throw that 100$ in the bank and wait, the big Virtual world is going to change rather soon..

Just a tip, just about every game /good big games are free on epic.. Every week is something new.. I got 200 games there. some are so/so but most are big name games. There is no achievements there nor a community, in my opinion the community is toxic along with all the moderators so It's actually more fun to play there. I would like to say some good things about steam but there is nothing good about it.. Just my opinion.. This client works just fine for many people.. Just make sure you read more up on this client and the terms of use.. It's rather a funny read and should be illegal to be honest..

I like the look's of that Hogwarts game.. If you are into that kinda deal, or if you like me, go for anything EA sport's 2024.. All of them are decent..

So $100 at the current grocery prices, this would get him a loaf of bread, a pound of ground beef and a can of stewed tomatoes.

Like you said, subjective.
But the best bang for the buck would be to purchase several older AAA game or indie games, instead of purchasing one or two recent released AAA games. Also buy on fest sales.

Loads of good stuff on steam. But right now? Nothing. In a little more than 2 weeks is the next big sale, you'll prolly get twice, if not 3 times as much stuff then.

I agree but in such case there is only one option: GOG. No DRM and game is 100% yours as a full product.
