I've been out of gaming scene for.. 15 years..

I have my gaming rig on order, and I'm looking for some game suggestions.

Probably worth me listing some of games I used to play:

Half-life
Quake 2/3
Enemy Territory
WOW
CS
C&C/Red Alert
Warcraft 3

I do like a good strategy game, Total War.. but also enjoy FPS/competitive gaming, used to love ET (which I think is still available on Steam?). Used to play WoW when it was first released but not sure I want to go down that road again.

Seen loads about Fortnight, but not sure its for me, perhaps something more serious?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Phil
 
I think C&C Remastered would be a dead cert you'd enjoy. It can be quite faffy to make them work otherwise and I personally enjoyed the graphical overhaul. The remastered soundtrack is also excellent.

On the opposite side, I'd be wary about the warcraft 3 remaster (reforged I think). It was very poorly received though. I have no personal experience because I have not played it and I'm unsure what the criticisms were and sometimes it is just people with nostalgia not liking changes.

Against The Storm is dominating my better half's pc gaming time since Xmas.

Rocket League (Rumble gamemode) for free-to-play quick online fix.
Redout 1 and 2 for sense of speed in anti-grav racer.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 for fun arcadey racer.
Mortal Kobmat 11 Definitive Edition is ~£5 at cdkeys.
Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Automobilista 2 are all ~£5 at cdkeys, if you like sim racing.
Prodeus fps is ~£2 at cdkeys.
 
CS2
Escape from Tarkov

Those two will keep you going until retirement if you’re into competitive games.

*edit* Valorant is worth a try too.

Portal games, if you havent already, (was that 15 years ago?)
The metro games are good, currently playing through metro Exodus, seems less irritating than the first two.
