Sanctum 1 and 2
Tower defense game done very well. Build a labyrinth for the bad guys, place turrets or upgrade your firearms and take out the monsters yourself. A perfect balance between strategy and action. Both games are roughly the same, I would recommend Sanctum 2 because it has way more maps and the multiplayer community is still somewhat alive unlike in 1. Price: less than 5 bucks during sales.
Paladins
Not much to say, a free-to-play clone of Team Fortress 2/Overwatch. Not at all pay to win though which is a big plus. Still in beta so expect some server issues. The boobs on the ladies jiggle, do with that info what you want. Price: Free.
Ms. Splosion Man
Easy to understand, impossible to master. Play as a sassy pink whatever who busts out cultural references and gags non-stop while defeating scientists and propelling yourself forward with explosions. Entertaining for a few hours, after that it becomes near impossible to finish the levels. Price: less than 3 bucks during sales.
Jolly Rover
A point and click puzzle game with dog pirates. Yup, I said that. The comedy is on point, the puzzles challenging and the story very engaging. Perfect voice acting completes this indie gem. Price: <5 bucks during sales.
Final Exam
2.5D beat 'm up co-op game that has to be played with friends. Slam down on hoards of zombies with a bat or bust out an uzi to rain bullets on them. The repetitiveness of Final Exam is why it should only be played with friends. Price: <5 bucks during sales.
Distance
Racing game with a twist. Jump, flip, fly, defy gravity and dodge obstacles. Still in beta after 2 years+ but with a fairly active Workshop community giving you plenty of new maps and mods to try out. The music consists of underground house music similar to music used in older NFS games, it's great. Price: ~10 bucks during sales.
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome
Basejump off buildings, avoid crashing, grab the bonus items and flip the bird to haters. Actually a really fun game that only has a few hours of gameplay, but is enjoyable nevertheless. Price: ~5 bucks during sales.
Lemonwolf
Awesome post! Been looking for a new game to play with friends and Distance, and Sanctum 2 seem like good options!
QTLingTorrasque
Distance's music is beyond awesome, and the gameplay is fantastic as well. Don't need to be a fan of racing games to like it.
OscarHa
Jolly Rover looks fun, to bad im broke :(
33YearOldManBaby
That last one, isn't that made by an imgurian? I think I remember something about a kickstarter way back.

Distance is one of the best games I've ever played
BlankMage
Shovel Knight. $15 dollars, but you basically get two full, equally amazing games.
iamcorgii
Distance is the sequel to a free game called Nitronic Rush. If you wanna get a taste of Distance, Nitronic Rush is like Distance Lite
KKWL
I felt that Paladins felt close to DOTA in gameplay. OW is a lot faster paced imo
Maglo22
+1 for Distance.
Splinty05
Distance is a magnificent game
JonMing
Need more of these!
TheUtahn
Agreed
Maandris
Distance actually has a f2p spiritual prequel, called Nitronic Rush, which was really good. The only drawback is that is not on steam.
SaintInky
But what about Cluster Truck?
BinaryTroll
I feel compelled to mention Nitronic rush. It's not on steam, but it's the spiritual predecessor to Distance.
BinaryTroll
And it's free.
BlueAquamarineSpark
Holy shit, I recognize the Distance one! The people who made this are from my school!
BlueAquamarineSpark
There are several arcade machines hooked up to monitors throughout the school and this game is on all of them, very popular.
BlueAquamarineSpark
At the very least, its actually the predecessor of this, Nitronic Rush, but still looks VERY similar.
TommyBradly
Is it just me that found Sanctum 2 hard as dicks?
BlankMage
But dicks have a variety of hardness!
Leraku
I love it to bits, but man is it challenging. Source: Soloed game/DLCs. I'd say each character has their uses for some levels.
TheJuggernaut
All I have to say is: Git gud, and find a friend to help you. Game is totally worth it though.

Whirlpool is insane, I can't even finish it on easy.
PolarHailStorm
I got all the achievements for AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! A reckless Disregard for Gravity. That 4k jump one was a grind.
Muttons1337
Those levels get really hard! But they are a great thrill to play.
PolarHailStorm
Yeah, when you figure out the right path and fine-tune it, it becomes about 85% skill and 15% luck.
Muttons1337
My heart races every time
PolarHailStorm
I know that feel.

Calling paladins a clone of tf2 is ok, but overwatch? Paladins was in development wayyy before overwatch was even a thought.
IDownvoteUnsaucedPosts
And has changed directions SEVERAL times during development. There's literally proof they've been intentionally ripping from other games.
SombreroWieldingLawmaker
The recent updates are pulling straight from Overwatch.
LadyLockedown
You talk about Paladins not being pay to win as though Overwatch is. Money only buys cosmetics in Overwatch. Just dropping some facts '3'
OldRazzIeDazzIe
No one with a bit of brain will say overwatch a 40/60$ game developed by blizzard is a p2w he just said that its free but not p2w
pandalover93
he mentioned it because most f2p games are p2w, he wasn't implying that overwatch is p2w
CerealKiller2142
I think they may have meant that more as a clarifying statement but we're saying that one about Paladins over Overwatch is that it's free.
Kilo
Will confirm Distance as being amazing. Bought it on a whim during the Summer sale, it feels so good to play, I can't even explain.
Banananutmuffins
And Team Fortress 2, besides being free has had almost 11 years of tweaking and development to near perfectly balance all of the characters
diregamer
As someone with an average lifespan of 21 seconds in that game, this game deserved mention.
keroro1454
"perfect balance" well hold up now let's not get carried away here
SuperPickle17
Oh, you want balance gameplay? Here take more hats!!! -- Gabe Newell probably
Br4nd
Payday 2, loads of fun and only $5 during sales (on -75% sales pretty often)
KentuckyFriedChildren
Does it have an active multiplayer scene? I've thought about buying it if that's the case
Br4nd
Check steamcharts.com. Average of 8000 people each month and the devs are supporting the game until at least the end of 2017.
Lunalunahai
Warframe is a great game its free and not pay to win but you can spend money to get more cosmetic shit and things faster. Its amazing.
SombreroWieldingLawmaker
And Warface. It's slightly more p2w, but it's one of the best free FPS games on steam.
BOtheGreat
*Sprint jump slide jump slide jump sprint slide jump slide jump sprint slide jump* "Mission Complete, great work Tenno."
AtlasUnbound
*bullet jump, double jump, roll* repeat.
Brayzure
Yeah, Warframe isn't pay 2 win, it's pay 2 not grind.
C0mtraya
That's why I call it Grindframe. :P
Atlasraven
After you grind everything you want, it's Fashionframe.

I agree, i want to play hearthstone again, but battle net disagrees with me, a lot of issues, etc. Lo and behold, i found this rare gems.

And if you go to humble bundle and sign up for their newsletter they're giving away 20 packs and some cosmetics for free to new accounts.

New accounts to the game or the newsletter?

Devil daggers is a great cheap game on steam
BlankMage
I heard it's pretty repetitive, though. I've been burned before.
InC0ntext
This so much. I just got it on the humble bundle a few days ago. Crazy stressful but in the best of ways.
ALPhaTONic
Mount & Blade: Warband is very cool too. I recently discovered that I enjoy the Napoleonic Wars DLC a lot. I especially enjoy the Coop.
ShamnusMcfee
'very cool'? I think you mean fucking lit af
KayEhn
And Viking Conquest! A lot of people dislike that, but I loved that DLC.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
@KayEhn Once they ironed out the bugs, it was awesome
Jisharagu
I wish more coop games were released! I love em so much!
ALPhaTONic
Same here.
Mushroombadger
Napoleonic wars multiplayer is the best with all the custom gamemodes.

ChrischinLoois
Wait..how do you co op? Tried playing the game of thrones mod with a friend and we could only verse each other
Resitas
Woah what's the mod called? Didn't know that was a thing
ALPhaTONic
Eh GoT is not my cup of tea. With the Napoleonic Wars DLC/mod you can just join a server with humans vs. bots. It's a LOT of fun! 1/2
ALPhaTONic
At least for me. I highly dislike PvP gamemodes in all games for some reason. 2/2
asaguda
He might mean the commander mode in multiplayer? There was a mod that attempted campaign co-op IIRC. It ran battles on a server, basically
asaguda
, called battle-time.
ALPhaTONic
There are servers that are running huge custom maps like Helms Deep with hundreds of units. Humans vs Bot is awesome.
IATTM
Sauce? Er, links rather?
ALPhaTONic
Hmm just launch Mount&Blade:Warband with the Napoleonic Wars module and hit multiplayer and join a "vs. bots" or "bot survival" server. :)
ICanChangeMyUsernameWheneverIWantButIDontBecauseIAmGodDamnLazy
Full Invasion 2 mod is fun. So many different factions and maps.
AllSystemsNominal
The only multiplayer games I've been able to find so far have been on the vanilla game. I should really try the Napoleonic one.
ALPhaTONic
If you liked the Half-Life mod Battlegrounds you will LOVE Napoleonic Wars.
InsecurExtrovert
Not to mention all the workshop stuff, starwars, war hammer all of it is dope
Resitas
Star Wars?
InsecurExtrovert
It's a re skin of the game, definitely recommend
Resitas
That's so cool, but how do the guns work? Laser arrows? And I'm guessing war hammer is also a re skin?
JJSAS
Commander battles!

I always upvote Mount & Blade. Always.

Mount & Blade.

Don't forget.. You can get a game of thrones mod for it

Don't worry about it, it's awesome!

paladins was in the works and in alpha way before anyone ever heard of overwatch. i played it back then. why do people keep calling it clone
[deleted]
[deleted]
MrMugg
They are both basically TF clones in that regard.
[deleted]
[deleted]
MrMugg
They are both team based base defense maps which is basically teamfortress in a nutshell. They just made diverse units.

systemiclupus
i saw that video and its bs. the Fernando(reinhardt) is based off the Ares character in smite not from overwatch. just to give one example
[deleted]
[deleted]
systemiclupus
because a shield is a completely new concept? i am not denying that there are similarities, but calling one a clone of the other is not true
