Looking for games that are purely based on skill. Twitch shooters, RTS games, racing games and platformers with a high degree of difficulty. Think Trackmania, StarCraft, Super Meat Boy, Quake, etc. Preferably available on Steam. Any suggestions?
What makes something a "pure" skill game? By nature every game requires skill, and a person's skill level determines how good they are at the game. Calling anything "pure" here is entirely subjective.
Some games are more difficult than others, and some take longer to learn/master, is this what you want?
I think my definition, description, and list of examples I gave was sufficiently clear. The current crop of games is unengaging and boring. I don't want to sit back and wait for the game to play itself. I want to be challenged all the way through, preferably against other people with the same mindset. I should point out that I've played Brood War at the progamer level (a long time ago, but I've won a medal at the WCG) and StarCraft II briefly as well. It's the same kind of challenge that I look for in other games.
While everything takes some amount of skill, there are differences in how much games hinge on that amount. If you throw someone into a 1v1 match of Quake 3 against a seasoned pro, they are going to lose 0 and 30 (for example) every match due to the nature of the game. Change the game to COD, though, and it doesn't matter how good the pro is, he is going to die from something cheap at some point, despite winning most or all of his games.What makes something a "pure" skill game?

Quake Live/3, Unreal Tournament, Starcraft 2, Street Fighter 3 (console).... drawing blanks...
Pure skill games where the best win and the worst lose are rare these days, especially in the FPS genre were games like COD and Battlefield dominate... unfortunately![]()
