Top Steam Games Under Five Dollars: Our Recommendations

SteamFirst: How often do you log onto your Steam client and see in the top right corner your wallet balance with only a few dollars left. Oh how I hate having Steam cash just sitting there going to waste. There are always some excellent FTP titles available such as Team Fortress 2, Warframe and DOTA 2, but sometimes you want to branch out from free to play. This article is a list of my personal top 5 Steam titles that you can spend your last five bucks on.

I'm sorry, but that's quite a poor list. IMO.

Moncole3764d ago

Its called an opinion. Everyone would have a different list.

ThatEnglishDude3764d ago (Edited 3764d ago )

I've never understood why people feel the need to state that. No shit it's an opinion. Does saying this somehow make my opinion less relevant? No.

dsswoosh3763d ago

Almost everything on Steam is poor.

I wish more people would admit it something we all know deep down.

There are hundreds of meh games, mediocre at best, and virtually zero triple AAA games that make you go wow.

Steam sucks in all honesty.

If you disagree with me, you must link a decent new game on Steam.

If you disagree without linking, your gpu will overheat and die within the next 2 weeks.

OK Metal Gear Rising came out on Friday and not only is it good but from what I have played it is quite the solid port.
You are trolling but I want to mention this game because Platinum deserves some recognition on PC so more of there games come to the platform and I want MGS (that won't happen though)

webeblazing3763d ago

why do ps fanboys troll every article on this site.

Volkama3763d ago

I was excited to buy my new consoles, but 2 months in and the only thing I still "play" is XBox Fitness. When I'm done with that I switch on my PC where I have a quite overwhelming list of games queued up to play.

Coach_McGuirk3763d ago

@dsswoosh - it's that type of mentality that stagnates our beloved industry. "If it ain't AAA, it ain't good". Means that people just buy the same old games, meaning publishers don't take risks. PC is where you go if you want something fresh and new.

@ webeblazing

Imo Dota 2 tops everything out there right now and its free. Sure it has items you could buy for the game but those are purely cosmetic.

I personally love the Glados kill announcer in dota 2, hilariously funny.

SteamFirst3764d ago

Ahh, yes. My next article which is pending is my top 5 free to play and dota 2 is number one. This is inexpensive, but not free games. Feel free to comment and suggest other titles which you prefer. We all have our own opinions. Right.

DC7773764d ago

I got Half Life 2 for under 5 bucks. An oldie but a greatie.

SteamFirst3764d ago

It is a great one. This list is of best $5 games when not on sale. But agreed. Half Life is great

JohnnyTower3763d ago

I just downloaded the Steam App last night for the first time. WOW. I cant believe what I've been missing. The Mods alone make it so much better than console. And with the Big Picture mode it plays just like a console. The dashboard is actually better than X1 or PS4. I just ordered a GTX 670 graphics card so I can rock the Skyrim upscaling mods. I had no idea what I had been missing.

hiredhelp3763d ago

Plus the savings johnny every saving you make is saving off your 670 ;)

SteamFirst3763d ago

The app is amazing. Just another great part of being a Steam gamer.

webeblazing3763d ago

you mean the os. i maybe try it later closer to the end of the beta. you if you mean the phone app, yes i can chat with people on my friends list and buy stuff on sale while out of town and even have it download to my pc. steam keeps improving as time goes by

Volkama3763d ago (Edited 3763d ago )

You think it's good now? Wait til you see a Steam Sale in action. It may just blow your mind.

Steam’s Refund Policy Change Won’t Affect You Unless You’re A Lowlife

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected

thorstein6d ago

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii5d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo5d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows905d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19895d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus5d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha5d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno5d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan5d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno5d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19815d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6695d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19815d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Why Are Steam's Recommendations Dogpoop?

Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm

UltimateOwnage23d ago

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
