I'm going to give Dark Messiah a go (it's under £2).
Best Arkane game.

I've finished it in the past, and was recently lamenting the lack of good FP hand to hand combat so...

I played (and finished) Dark Messiah for the first time last year, and while the melee fighting and especially kicking the enemies into traps and pits etc. was a lot of fun at first, I remember it starting to get a bit tedious towards the end. Still, it's a great game and definitely worth checking out!

Does that include Shadow Warrior (2013) and the sequel?

For me, Vermintide is the game with the best melee combat since Dark Messiah.

I picked up a couple bargains, both published by Devolver, as it turns out.
High Hell - 2,04€
Super-intense FPS, kinda feels like a first person Hotline Miami. It's ok.
Golf for Workgroups - 2,49€
I'll let the screenies speak for it.

looks like some wacky bullshit, it's actually a very robust golf simulator. This game was previously known as "Golf?" and it's in development (or perpetual Early Access) by Cryptic Sea, who also made "Hockey?" and are working on "Sub Rosa". While I'm on the record as saying the best video game golf is 2D, this 3D golfing ain't half bad either.
This thing has multiplayer so if anyone picks it up, let's play a few rounds! See you out there on the links! *imitates golf swing* *winks*

The sale is still going for a number of hours, so I'd be remiss not to recommend (
https://store.steampowered.com/app/732430/Superflight/) Superflight for 74 cents. It's a very simple wingsuit game where you fall through colourful randomly generated levels, trying to score points by going near walls or through holes, and when you get to the bottom you'll spawn at the top of the next map. My only niggle is that I wish the individual levels were longer/endless so you could properly space out, but it's still relaxing to play while listening to a podcast or music. I recommend turning down the rather intrusive score sound effects though.
EDIT: Oh, and (
https://store.steampowered.com/app/200910/Before_the_Echo/) Before the Echo (previously called Sequence) is a mere 79 cents. It's been years since I played it so I can't say much about it, except that it's the only rhythm game I've ever had fun with, with a nice story and catchy music. Definitely worth getting at that price.

Probably because Smart TVs can just use an app to achieve the same functionality, and you likely won't find many who'd use a Steam Link and not already own a Smart TV.
I've noticed much better performance of the Steam Link than that of my Smart TV, possibly because of the model or due to the Steam Link being a dedicated device. On a related note, I only recently discovered the app being available for mobiles. I was surprised at how well Dark Souls 1 played on my Samsung S8; while awkward to play with the touch controls, it looked and performed quite reasonably.
