Oh hell no, total war in particular is expensive as shit. WH total war has a trilogy, where the first and second games have content that can be used in the third, and the first game has content that can be used in the second. I managed to get all three games for the price of one while it was on sale, that was 60 USD (for reference, each game is usually 60 USD by itself not including DLC content, but theres so much content already by just doing campaigns, you’re likely not gonna buy a dlc unless you like a particular race. I managed to get all three fir 60), I’m pretty sure there is a website that will sell you the steam key for cheaper (CD Keys I believe, or something similar) but I didn’t trust them enough so I went through the steam webstore.
Redout 2 I got for under 10 USD though. At least it’s somewhat cheap when it’s on sale. It’s precursor was 5 USD in the same sale.
