Its that time again and i need some recommedations. (also a steam link question)

You don't need a steam controller, I've been using it with my xbox 360 controller. Also, it's not gonna be $2.50 with shipping. Still worth it tho

If you like puzzle game, you might enjoy Recursed.

I'm trying to decide on the steam link as well. I'll have to use it over wireless, and I've read mostly negative reviews of its wireless capabilities.

So..... I guess us Canadians don't get to even see a buy button or a price. Too bad. I'd likely buy the combo. I want a controller. A link would be good too.

You do not need the Steam controller - and I would only recommend the Steam controller as a keyboard and mouse replacement for games that don't have controller support. I use my Link with wireless XB1 S controllers and PS3 controllers, but you can also plug in controllers via USB and I believe also use an X360 wireless dongle.

For playing couch co-op or just playing games while relaxing on the couch, it works really well. Though the occasional game may suffer from latency - Shantae and Just Cause 3 were practically unplayable because of input latency, but other games played just fine.

While link itself would cost that 2,5 delivery costs are higher. Here link costs in steam 2.75€ but delivery expense add it all up to nearly 20€(steam estimate). Some sale from local store would even beat it. Plus steam link beta is on android now and some smart tvs also have it. You can link xbone controller with either of them depending on model(not promise tv but android usually has that bluetooth...)

Probably not everybody’s style, but I really enjoyed Age of Wonders 3. Pretty old, but legacy of Kain series is good. I also always recommend NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer for a good story and robust RPG system. Didn’t age well though (and some people find the sould hunger system annoying although it is fairly easy to manage.
