Steam Summer Sale: what should I get

[Ninja_Prawn]

Edit:
Aforementioned XCom is a really nice turn-based combat game, but it has cinematic slow-mo kill shots.

D'oh! I had totally forgotten about that. Just goes to show how little they matter within the overall experience. Can they be turned off in the options somewhere?

It's hard to answer the OP based on "I like most games" and "I just really want some new games" isn't it? Like, should we just start listing games we think are good? By hours played on steam, my top games are Infinity Wars, Card Hunter and Baldur's Gate, but... I dunno, I feel like they're probably not what the OP is looking for? But maybe the change of pace would be a life-changing revelation to him?
