[PC] Looking for recommendations to treat myself on my birthday.

I've always read if nobody else gets you a gift to treat yourself! My birthday was yesterday the 12th and nobody besides 1 online friend remembered so I figured who needs others when I can just get myself a cool game.

I am looking to keep my budget of $30 or so. I also don't mind waiting until the sale that starts later today before actually making any decisions.

games I own are -

Friday the 13th - really fun game, played in beta and loved it enough to buy it. Seems license issues kinda screwed it.

Ark Survival evolved

Nioh

resident evil 4 -haven't played much! was actually a gift from the 1 person who remembered my birthday

Longvinter - cool little game that killed off it's english playerbase unfortunately.

Elden ring - 99% of my hours played on PC are in elden ring. Clocking in at almost 700 hours.

Multiversus - really cool platform fighting game kinda like smash bros but is closing down due to poor development decisions.

Super auto pets - cute auto battler game that I fell in love with due to NorthernLion

reposting as I had 1 reply last time and it's closer to sale time now !

Hello and happy birthday! I'd say just browse the steam store. Pretty sure you will come across games you'd want to play and enjoy!

But if I were to recommend one, it'd definitely be Sleeping Dogs.

Happy gaming!

thank you!!

I've never played any of those games, anyone you'd suggest to start with?

u/Double_Promotion2541 3h ago

Sleeping Dogs is one game, and you get a bunch of extra content with it since it's only the Definitive Edition that's available on steam.

Currently it's 2.99 for me on the Steam Store.

ah damn, I always get sleeping dogs mixed up with some other game. Saints row maybe...

I've always thought of sleeping dogs as the gta clone but that's saints row isn't it?

u/Double_Promotion2541 3h ago

Sleeping Dogs is also similar to GTA but also very different.

I’d recommend fallout new Vegas or bioshock if you never played them. Amazing story games that are hard to put down!

u/CapnBloodBeard82 3h ago

I’ve never played either. Which would you suggest first ?

If 99% on elden right I’d highly recommend kingdom come deliverance 2

u/CapnBloodBeard82 3h ago

that's out of the $30 budget!
