What would you buy?
I can't help you but so much here since a few of these titles don't really grab me, gameplay wise but I myself just bought J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars in the sale. I couldn't pass it up as it's been on my wishlist for ages but I haven't played it yet - I hope it's as good as it looks. I also just added Windscape and World's Dawn to my wishlist thanks to your post.
Could you possibly afford either:
I know either way would be close to (hopefully not over) your limit, but if you did that at least you'd be able to get 2 games just in case one of them isn't what you expected. MagicMaker doesn't appeal to me so much but it sounds like it has a lot to offer for those who enjoy the genre. Regardless of what you decide on, happy playing!

To answer your question: I can afford both sets. I actually was going to have them as options but figured I'd let the results speak for themselves. Now if I'm able to swing by a store that sells Steam giftcards before noon while running some errands I'll be able to get more than one game. If not, then I'll be assured that I have at least one more title and had the help in narrowing the selection down.

I would normally vote on stasis but considering how limited they were with the previous game i would bet in something else.
I voted asura for best apparent return for investment in hours of fun to be had, having some inovation (procedural skill trees) and dam- inidian mythology!!! Wishlisted right away.
But despite voting on asura my true vote goes to Windscape. I can't really recommend most ea games considering unfinished content and windscapes apparent earlier development but to see it come to light depends on buying it. When i see people 'that interested me but won't buy because EA' im like wtf? If the guys are funding though ea that means without people buying the EA it will fail- thus EAs proportion of failure compared to kickstarter (all the cash upfront).
And goddammit i want a first person zelda. Another one that was under my radar that i now wishlisted and may buy this sale or soon.
Cautionary tale: Battle brothers. Expedition vikings. Some EA titles im mad at myself for not buying earlier before release. Be aware that most EA increase in price upon release.
PS:
My favorite purchases these past years were EA titles. Subnautica, dead cells, warbands bushido at the top, but theres plenty more.
It may change now with some recent purchases i didn't even played yet (hollow knight) but seriously- on the past 2 years, with the exception of doom, i didn't felt i got way more return for my money then some great EA titles.

I'm well aware that some EA titles go up in price after release, I often look at description for info on release and the one here said that they are NOT planning on raising the price.
Honestly though it is a bit of a mixed bag in quality for EA I agree but sometimes its really worth getting anyway or you're given very nice offers. Like for instance when JumpJet Rex I believe was on Early Access they had the game either on sale or slightly cheaper in base price but included a spare gift-copy with an EA purchase. For me I've seen more poor results from Kickstarter than Early Access. Not to mention that many Kickstarter titles I've had my eye on have not been finished yet even after four years of development. I'm looking at you, A Hat in Time. Then there was the screwup with Red Ash thanks to it being started while Mighty No 9 wasn't finished yet and considering how MN9 came out I'm both relieved and disheartened that the Mega Man Zero + Legends style game wasn't able to be.

If you go for quality content I'd go for Stasis (which I voted for) - It's almost like a Point&Click version of Dead Space.
If you want to spend loads of time on a single title I'd go for Magic Maker but you should be aware that it gets really repetitive quite soon.
When I played that game there were like 6 different levels which you need to do over and over again (every time with different goals and enemies became stronger depending on the quest you intend to fulfill). The idea itself was good and creating speels is fun but that's all about it.

I thought time would make things easier to pick but nope it's gotten worse. So I need help. I only have about $8 left and I can only be certain that I can get one more purchase before the sale ends. Problem is that many are over $4. I can't decide.
A lot of low-cost games that are popular purchases this sale I already have such as the Half Life / Portal games and Mordor.
As a thank you for looking in this thread and hopefully voting, I have prepared a few giveaways.
