Sorry for the dramatic-sounding title. You all have told me to wait for the Winter Sale, which I did, and there are so many better options now so thank you for that.
Buuuut, I have another dilemma. I love FPSes and stealth, but I already have the original Hard Reset and SUPERHOT, I'm going to get Deux Ex: Mankind Divided anyway, but the aforementioned games have really good reviews so I'm not very sure if I should skip them. I've heard great things about Amnesia, which makes me want to get it, despite having minimal interest in the horror genre. The Thief games are classics, although I haven't played them. Eldritch is the only game here that I'm incredibly interested in and looks really original (as in, it's not a sequel, spinoff or derivative, although it is inspired by Lovecraft), but I'm not sure whether or not I'd enjoy it, so help.
Again.

Thank you.

TL;DR I'm interested in Eldritch, Amnesia and Thief and, to a lesser extent, a few others and can't decide so help me also kinda lame giveaway because you probably thought this was a Christmas puzzle or something - https://www.steamgifts.com/botsaway/aFm91/trauma

Hi, I'm [PLAYER_NAME], and this is the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

If you get Deux Ex MD be sure to get Human Revolution as well ... you kinda need it for the story. Other Deux Ex games aren't really needed that much.

If your into or like the look of Thief have you considered Dishonored series?

Stealth + FPS - Metal Gear Solid V ... I barely played the original ones (1st and 2nd) back in the day and couldn't really remember anything about them ... but after playing MGSV even though it is confusing, it seems to be a prequel so it okay. Despite being confusing though I really enjoyed it.

Should I take Human Revolution instead of Mankind Divided? I was tryna get a bit of variety on the themes and gameplay of those that I'm going to buy so I tried getting games of different series'.

I have Dishonored. I actually considered MGSV but I'm a bit tentative on buying it. I have Ground Zeroes though, and I suppose if I enjoy the gameplay of that I'd like The Phantom Pain.

Better getting the bundle:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2355/The_Deus_Ex_Collection/
Slightly cheaper than buying HR, MD + Season Pass but you get the classics as well.

You could skip ahead and just play MD but the story is a follow on from HR.

Deux Ex HR and MD should take up about 30+ hours of your time each.

Ground Zero is just one short mission compared to MGSV which has like 100+ (up to 150?) ... seriously, that one took up 120 hours of my time!

Zila commented further down about Prey (2017 game, not the other one), this game is from the same devs who done Dishonored. Great game, kinda of a blend between Dishonored and Deux Ex, as it has storage capacity and such.

Prey like the Dishonored games will take about 20 hours of your time.

If the playstyle suits you consider how much time the games take and their cost, think about how long you're gonna be gaming for such a cheap price :P

Yeah, I know Ground Zeroes is an overpriced prologue, but I do suppose it will give me a taste of the gameplay...

And I've wanted Prey since forever, and according to the leak it's going free on EGS. Fingers crossed!

I voted for Hard Reset as I'm huge fan of the game although the Redux version is kinda watered down.

Yeah. Read the blurb and apparently not much is different from the original. I'll avoid it for now.

I voted for Thief Deadly Shadows because that's my favorite from the franchise, although the purists say the first two are better. Yes, the Thief games are classics, but keep in mind that if you ever buy them, you'll probably have to install some mods. It's not big deal tho, I don't recall having issues making them run on my computer.

Also... have you ever considered the Splinter Cell games? I'd recommend Chaos Theory. I loved that one so much. <3

Have Chaos Theory, might try it sometime. Thanks for the suggestions!

Oh, you do? I could have sworn I hadn't seen it in your Steam library... O_o Ah, maybe you have it on uplay? Anyway, yeah, if you'd like to play a stealth game, Chaos Theory is definitely one of the really good ones.

Now, I kinda want to play it again. Aaaaand the Thief games too. :o/

Yup, not in my Steam library, but on Uplay. It was free a few weeks ago.
Yes! I've heard amazing things about Chaos Theory. I think it's widely regarded as the best stealth game ever made.

mind control delete was kind dumb, at least the added move. also i cant imagine wanting to play a game like superhot outside of vr. if you do have vr i heard deus ex is getting a vr mod but not sure which version of the game

Everyone thinks MCD's story sucks, and maybe y'all are right, so I'll probably avoid it for now.

I think it's MD because it already has an exploration-based VR mode.

Voted Thief.
Thief 1-2-3 + Deus Ex are leagues better than Eldritch, it's just an arcade-ish game compared to maybe the best immersive sims ever done, they blow most of the current-time AAA games out of the water.
For the sheer amount of content in these games, and the ridiculously low price, I'd go with Thief 1-2-3 + Eldritch + Deus Ex instead of Mind Control Delete.

(Look out for mods, Thief 1 has some astonishing mods to bring graphics closer to current games, while maintaining the unmatched sound system.)

And don't forget T2X for Thief 2! Adds a nice big expansion pack-sized side-story to the game

Also, in my country, MCD is reaaallly cheap. It's apparently 25 dollars in the US but here it's equivalent to 1.5 dollars, and the sale makes it approx 0.6 dollars.

While I did vote for Hard Reset (honestly, if you've already played the original after the Exile expansion was added, you've played Redux...), if you like FPS-es I'd also highly recommend Painkiller: Black Edition (and Bulletstorm, but you already have that one ;P ). Made in part by the same people as Hard Reset, I'd definitely tag it as a must-try old-school FPS. ^_^
Oh, and there's always also Half-Life 2. And Bioshock (which can be played half-stealthily too). And... ok, I'll stop now before I make you dilemma even worse. XD
...
...
...
... Prey is also a pretty nice option with stealth- AAaaAAaaaa, stop.

I've decided to avoid Hard Reset Redux, and Prey is apparently going free on EGS.

Actually I was already thinking of getting Half-Life 2... and I've also wanted Bioshock a while.

Should I go for all Half-Life games (except Alyx) + Portal + TF Classic and Just Cause 2 and Deus EX: MD or all BioShock games?

I've decided on the former but I'm a bit hesitant now...

Former looks like a great choice too. ;)

Although, like someone else already mentioned, probably better to get Deus Ex: Human Revolution before Mankind Divided... the latter is a sequel to the former, after all. Also, I haven't played Mankind Divided myself, but I've heard some... less than good things about it. The unnecessary addiction of microtransaction (I mean... just... why?) definitely comes to mind.

I dislike MTX, but if it's cosmetic-only, I have no problem with it. Thanks for the suggestions, again!

Wow, what a coincidence! I was going through old bundle keys I had trying to clear some out, and I think I still have one for Eldritch. Let me know if you're interested!

Ok - update.
Superhot MCD, Hard Reset Redux and Eldritch are out (thanks to the amazing Meeprulez! Meep, you rule!)
I'm tentative on Deus Ex (2000) and Thief 1/2.
Thief Deadly Shadows and Amnesia interest me a lot.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
