anyone ever try the total war warhammer games ? or any games in the total war series ? combat looks interesting, but i may be put off by the turn based parts of the game ?

Mainly picked up some add-ons for Train Sim World 2, which has grown on me considerably (just a shame there'll never be a route editor).
Also bought X4 to try but refunded after half an hour, total **** IMHO, couldn't even get the controls to configure properly. Usually by this stage of the lifecycle, Egosoft have ironed out most of the bugs. Back to Terran Conflict for me!

I've only bought two games so far [well, which I've kept].
The first was Axiom Verge which I initially loved but got bored with very quickly. The maps are too large and sprawling, too much backtracking and fighting respawned enemies, would have much preferred it if it were linear.
The surprise game of the sale for me was Muse Dash, which is absolutely excellent. It's a music/beats focused game, and so often these things are done poorly, but this one does it really well [miles better than Audiosurf], not least because a lot of the tunes are awesome.
I bought Baba is You and Oneshot, but got them both refunded.

You are best to refer to the Total War: Warhammer thread in this forum for a proper appraisal of the game. If all you want is combat, it may not be the right game style for you, but the Total War series has a good mix of empire building and management. The Warhammer iteration is particularly flavourful due to the number of races, units and magic involved. Bear in mind there is a lot of additional content in DLCs (i.e. extra playable races), however it is not essential to purchase these. Pick and choose depending on what interests you.
It is absolutely worth £23 of your money to buy both TWW1 and TWW2 right now. If you do buy it, I would also recommend subscribing to the 'Grimhammer' mod. It makes significant improvements to the base game. The mod is currently under re-coding due to a recent DLC release, but it should be released within the next 2 weeks or so.

CIV IV Platinum Edition £20.99 on CD keys if anyone is interested.
As far as I know it's everything CIV VI related, base game, the two expansions and all the DLC's, £35 ish on STEAM IIRC.

Wish they'd implement a "Games that cost less than you have in your Steam Wallet" button.
Oh! I think that's the best idea I've heard all year.
Second that, what a terrific idea. I sell bits i dont want anymore on the Steam marketplace so this would be good to have
I bought GTA V and Battletech.
Yes they are good. I have never had a problem with the turn-based parts, it adds strategy to the tactics.

Far Cry 5, Hitman 1&2, BF1, Metro Exodus, all the wolfenstein games, a few Tomb raider games. Basically catching up because I haven't been able to play these until now. I thoight about getting cyberpunk 2077 but I thought I'd rather wait until there are more bug fixes.

Bought Sea of Thieves on an impulse. A mate has got it for the Xbone so gonna see if we can crew up. If it’s a good laugh then the mrs might get it as well.
Is it any good? Been on my radar for a while.

One of the best if not the best RTS games I've ever played. Admittedly I'm into the Warhammer world but there is so much lore, game balance, support and game mechanics that it's a must in my opinion if you are into those kind of games
