What games should I buy?

[Gamesolot]

I'm new to Steam looking for some great games to buy/play. Any ideas?

[Monde]

My recommendations:
Dirty bomb (fast paced shooter)
CSGO (fun skill requiring shooter)
Hotline Miami (just a great game)
Killing floor 2 (heard its great)
Quake Champions (better get gud)

It really depends on your Preference
FPS type games I'd reccomend something like quake, Fallout 4, CS:GO or the new Doom
RPG type games, I'd reccomend things like Fallout (1&2), Pillars of eternity Divinity: Original sin or even South park: The Stick of Truth

Well, I'm mostly into FPS games. I'm thinking about CS:GO however I heard rumors about how their community is terrible and how the trading system got worse.

I don't know if CS:GO is worse than other multi-player games. Multi-player games with randoms is pretty terrible in general. I thought Overwatch was amazingly free of "toxicity" but it only really is in the sense that people in general won't be talking with you. But yeah.. it's a multiplayer game. And they won't be talking with you. So .. Realize what that mean and how good that is..

Quake Champions may also have toxicity between people who think they are good and those who aren't I guess. But the community is so small that they likely have to live with whatever they get. I have no trouble recommending Quake Champions by a cheap AMD coupon code from Ebay if those are still around. At full price you really have to be interested because it cost a decent amount and there's not many playing so at €30 it become a completely different thing.

I played Paladins before they changed it and I would definitely recommend Paladins in the state it was then. Likely more fun than both CS:GO by now for me and Overwatch. But I've played CS:GO a lot so maybe if both were new to me that would had been different. However I think Paladins is grind or pay to win now whereas it was more fair before even if one didn't grind or paid so Paladins may be ruined. Feel free to check it out.

I won't really recommend Overwatch since the team-play part is terrible with lobbies remaining in their own chats and lots of rules about how you aren't allowed to tell your team-mates what piece of trash they are for not playing as a team but it's completely fine to not play as a team and people may leave games and you're stuck with an unfair setup to play and likely lose no matter what you do.

Maybe Battlefront II has gotten better now?
Destiny II may also be good, it was on sale recently.
But neither is on Steam. Though I assume it doesn't matter much if it's on Steam or not really?

If you can get a ~$4 Quake Champions coupon code I'd say start with that if that interest you?
Before there was hard to find games in Asia but easier in the US and Europe so if you are from Asia then maybe not that.

Fortnite is very popular to play and free so that's of course also recommended. But it may not be on Steam either.

Free:
* Fortnite
* Paladins?

Very cheap:
* Quake Champions AMD coupon on Ebay if those are still around and work.

Valve specific:
* Valve complete pack when on sale.

New games when on sale:
* Battlefront II?
* Destiny II?`

I have a friend who like Dirty Bomb and it's free so .. I guess that's an ok alternative to CS:GO, same with Rainbow Six Siege I suppose?
Killing Floor 2 and 1 I haven't really played but maybe those are fine too.

In the form of more single player style I guess GTA V, Asssassin´s Creed: Origins and such still work.

I bought Battleborn in a bundle. It's free now. Have no players. No idea how good it is. Dusk seemed interesting but cost a bit and seem to have a very small player base. You can get Rise of the Triad very cheap on fanatical.com in a bundle which was like "starter bundle" or something but it's dead now.

Revolution ace, tekken 7, the talos principle. and dont get a steam control those are just frustrating

follow your heart!

I think I have a second copy of the talos principle.

As for the Steam controller I have one but can't really rate it since I've used it so little.

I would likely recommend an Xbox controller instead / at first instead of it because while the Steam controller can be used for games which haven't got controller support and that's the reason to get it in other scenarios either games doesn't have controller support and then it's likely a bad idea to try to play them with one or they do but then they really expect the Xbox controller anyway and as such I feel that's the better choice.

Games which support a controller: Xbox controller.
Games which don't support a controller: Don't use one.

There's really little room there for the Steam controller. As a second controller / if you really want to force controller usage for all games then sure.

At the peril of repeating myself, don't act rashly, wait for a sale!
And check out humble bundles. They usually have some good stuff.
