Good games you would recommend?

[Simply_Special_]

I'm looking for a game on steam but I am not quite sure what game to get. I like most categories apart from racing and simulation. however i do not like turn based combat games (so nothing like banner saga). What games would you guys recommend?

Borderlands 2

-Skyrim
-Fallout 4
-Farcry 3 (4 is pretty decent as well)
-Rome, Medieval 2, Empire, Napoleon, or Shogun 2 Total War. While turn based in parts, the combat isn't.

Rimworld is pretty fun.

Well, you can never go with XCOM-- oh, no turn-based games. Darn. You still might like it, anyway. The reboot Enemy Unknown is especially inviting to new players, even those who generally hate the genre of turn-based strategy. It might be worth a look, especially with the mega-DLC they made, "Enemy Within."

Anyway, FEAR 1 is in my honest opinion an even better Half-Life game than Half-Life. It's aged very well, too. Get it on GOG so that it doesn't have SecuROM screwing up your computer.

As for Bethesda games (because apparently they're cool now), Oblivion's still my favorite. Hasn't been topped, probably never will be.

In short, these are still my favorites (that aren't a part of the genres you've listed against):
-XCOM (so great it defies this "no turn-based rule anyway)
-Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-FEAR and maybe FEAR 2 (get 1 from GOG to avoid SecuROM)
-Half-Life 1 and maybe 2 (Ep1 is crap, skip it for Ep2)
-Far Cry 2 and 3
-Crysis, all of them
-Resident Evil 4, 5, even 6 (5 is incredibly overhated but bring a friend, 6 is okay but as an RE game it's crap)
-Killer Instinct (Fighter on the Windows 10 Store with an excellent free model, great combat and Xbox crossplay/crossbuy, makes MKX look like a complete turd)
-Psychonauts (a fantastic 3D platformer and arguably Tim Schafer's best game)
-Batman: Arkham (Asylum is still the best, but City added an Open-World and Origins was good too. Knight is crap, don't bother)
-Alan Wake (story-based and linear TPS about a writer that comes across darkness monsters on a vacation)
-Max Payne (similar to Alan Wake but with an ex-NYPD cop, mafia baddies, and bullet time. The difficulty is... payneful)

It's good to see that others like them. The cheesiness makes them really fun.

It's something the series has always done well more or less, but 6 got a little too far with it. I liked it nonetheless, and 5 is still my favorite of the series.

If you play the first game's HD Remaster without Flour Bunny's 1996 voice acting mod, you're doing it all wrong.

Definitely the Batman: Arkham series, especially Arkham City.

Because you said you don't like turn based games, I'm going to recommend Frozen Synapse for the reasons stated in this post.

I also recommend Furi and Thief (The old ones).
