As the title says: give me a great game since I pretty much exhausted everything I wanted to play. What I played and liked:
-The Devil May Cry series (including the last installment: DMC)
- The Fable series (can't wait for the next one)
- League of Legends (got bored of it eventually; don't want another Moba)
- The Legacy of Kain series (my favorite game of all times!)
- WoW (got sick of it due to the grind fest; don't want another mmorpg)
- Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z (currently playing this but am halfway through it)
- Dark souls 1 & 2 (played both and progression was too slow and hard to like; felt like a fanatic's game)
- Bound by Flame (a very obscure but good game; mechanics were somewhat "meh" but the overall gameplay and story kept me going till I finished it)


I hope you got an idea of what I like and can recommend something similar. On the flip side: I recommend all of the above games (except for WoW and LoL) for all the casual games. For those that want to feel their blood boiling or hold their breath as the story moves forward: DMC series; Legacy of Kain series.

Awaiting your awesome answers 😀!
 


Far Cry
Assassins Creed
Dying Light
Saints Row
Hitman
Battlefield
Watch Dogs
Sleeping Dogs
Call of Duty
the witcher
Need For Speed
Etc (End of thinking capacity)
 
hi,

more in your taste
dead island epidemic - free to play not bad but in beta and needs more levels.
the new gauntlet is good if you can play with friends - 20 $

if you wanna try some other games
planetside 2 nice free to play fps

I think the best thing to do is install steam and browse the games there.

 
Would want to add that I finished Half Life 1 & 2 and Portal 1 & 2. All four are epic games!

Thanks for all the suggestions boys! Keep 'em coming!

Edit: also played Bioshock Infinite; Singularity; Timeshift; Painkiller 1 & 2; Max Payne 2 & 3.
 
Ok, I'll try Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Inquisition after I finish Yaiba 😀. I remember vaguely finishing a Dragon Age, but it was something in the style of Elder Scrolls where you could eventually turn into a dragon for short periods of time.
 


If you are not in a hurry, I would wait until the next time Origin is on sale, then Dragon Age: Inquisition will probably be down to $40 or less and maybe you can get Mass Effect Trilogy for $10, I got mine for $10 when it was normally $30.
 
Played Mirror's Edge (eagerly awaiting the sequel), also played Darksiders 1 & 2, Prey (awaiting sequel again!), Max Payne 3 got incredibly difficult around halfway through (docks/ swamp area) and decided to uninstall :/, and Civilization is not my type sadly since it's turn-based.

Mass Effect is tempting but I'm a bit in a tight spot right now; will see if I can pull through till it ends on March 17 😀.
 


Can't recommend the Witcher and especially The Witcher 2 enough...seeing as 3 is around the corner my friend.
