Game & Hardware Suggestions Megathread /r/Steam Monthly Game & Hardware Suggestions Thread.
Welcome to the Monthly Game & Hardware Suggestions Thread!
This monthly mega-thread is meant to contain advice, questions, suggestions & generic discussion on what to play or buy in terms of Games & Hardware.
Do you not know what to play? Want a Steam Deck or Steam Machine but unsure which model is best for you? Did you find a niche game that everyone should try? Wondering what GPU you should upgrade to or unsure about the specs of a computer? Do you want to share your unique experiences and learning curves with a piece of hardware? Can't find the perfect survival sim or unsure which 1 RPG out of the thousands available you should buy? Well this is the thread for you.
Now to make this work best and not just be spammed with generic & useless questions such as "What should I play?" or "What should I buy?", please be in-depth in what types of games/hardware you are looking for and why, and when giving advice it would be appreciated if you're more detailed than "I think X is good".
There are too many games to be able to properly suggest something with no background information, also simply commenting a game title and saying you like the game offers no actual value. The same goes for hardware: Saying you're thinking about buying X or you think Y is good with no other information, context as to why, your unique experiences, etc. offers no actual value or information to base a reply on.
Feel free to ask and discuss freely in the comments regarding games and hardware, whether you want advice on what to play, want to give advice to others on what to play, share a hidden gem you found, experiences you have with Steam hardware, or your review of a piece of Steam hardware. Generic discussions & questions about discounts, sales, events, specs is allowed as well. This is not meant to be a restrictive thread within the designated topics that this thread is for, however it is not a support thread nor is it the place to promote any blogs or curator pages or anything else, subreddit rules still apply.

Pyrowave is amazing!
Finally tried out pyrowave today after learning you could use it in the Apple TV steam link app. I'm completely blown away. I've done a ton of game streaming over the years with varying levels of success.
Most recently, I've been very happy using Apollo/moonlight to stream my games to the tv. Latency was great and image quality was certainly "good enough." But now, i don't even need to settle for "good enough." Pyrowave is pristine.
Streaming Witcher 3 to my tv at 4k60, CRISP image, and no latency? This was a revelation. I'm very impressed with the tech.
My goal is being happy with an office PC setup streaming to my living room has been achieved. If you have similar interests and a robust home network (pyrowave uses a good chunk of bandwidth) you owe it to yourself to try it out.

Nioh 2 has one of the best combat showcases int eh soulslike genre.
Cyberpunk should be a priority if you are looking a fulfilling rpg experience (get the dlc now or later but do get it)
FF7 if you somehow don't want cyberpunk now, it's a good hack n slash game but yeah that shit is huge.

So ... I'm looking for some sort of game that would work good as an alcohol/drinking game. I have several board games, but finding a digital game on steam is proving difficult. The closest I have is a TTS mod (that I'm having trouble finding people for) and 8bit Fiesta (platformers aren't really my thing, and having trouble findin people for the multiplayer version)
Some game where you "drink if [this] happens", bonus if its hardcoded into the game. Something like Drunkopoly or Tipsyland sounds like alot of fun over the web.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on what to play next.
Recently, The Witcher 3 got a remastered version, Dragon’s Dogma has DLC, and there’s also the newer Crimson Desert. As someone who hasn’t played any of them before, which one would you recommend I start with? What are their pros and cons?
I just finished my big school exams, so I really want to dive into a game and play a lot.
Also, do people still recommend the Steam Controller nowadays? It doesn’t seem very popular in the Asian region where I live. I’m a PC player and usually play while sitting right in front of my keyboard and mouse.
Thanks in advance!

Is it better to get the Steam Machine or is it better to get a pc around the same price tag? I have been a console main my whole life but I want to play pc games. Which would be better? I also would not be playing mainstream games like cod. I just wanna play indie games and things of the like.

Played Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds so looking for something to scratch that itch, between these two, should I get one of these or both?

just finished drova and now have that empty feeling where nothing else scratches the itch. need something with that same sense of discovery but maybe a bit less punishing combat. anyone got a hidden gem that flew under the radar this year
