Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
New World
I usually avoid speaking about well known MMO’s in my channel, but this is a wonderful
opportunity to try New World absolutely free.
You can play it the whole weekend with no charge and, you know, if you have a lot of
free time in the next few days, maybe you can feel the true charm of this game.
Or, you know, finally make sure that this is garbage - it’s up to you.
New World has a nice classless real-time action combat system.
As you progress you'll be able to determine what you want your gameplay experience to
be like.
And those are just like in any other MMO - you may heal people, play as a tank or do massive
amounts of damage.
Although only MMO I ever enjoyed was World of Warcraft, but I must admit that I stopped
playing after the third expansion rolled out.
Northrend was the last continent I actually enjoyed.
But, to be honest, after all these years I still have an addiction - if I had a lot of
free time I would be playing it right now, I love it.
So the same is with the New World - if time is scarce - even free is not worth it.
The Surge 2
On the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands
in the outskirts.
You wake up weeks later in a derelict detention facility inside the city.
Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nanostorm
looms over the cityscape...
So long story short - everything here wants you dead.
But you are not some lame puny peasant, you have your mechanical sword and can beat enemies
with it and take their parts and make yourself better in the process.
Imagine if in real life some MMA fighters could just take the muscles from their beaten
adversaries and absorb them into their bodies, and every time they win - they add more and
more, until they are like 2 tons of enraged muscle power which can’t even stand up,
because you know, the gravity.
So a new sport, a race of rolling muscle balls would appear.
Hairy balls.
Imagine, that probably already exists in some parallel universe.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
I just featured it last week in one of my videos, but now this whole weekend you can
play it for free.
It was just recently released as a Steam game after a long time of being and Epic exclusive.
And it lacks Steam achievements - that’s why a lot of achievement-addicts are raging
at it and giving it a score of only 61% of positive reviews.
Well, I’m lying, that’s not all - it also requires you to have an Ubisoft account and
it’s armed with DRM.
BUT if you can see past all that - the game itself is great.
Also it’s free now, it doesn't hurt to try.
Here you will put on the shoes of a legendary viking warrior on
a quest of glory and explore England's Dark Ages as you raid your enemies, grow your settlement,
and build your political power.
Although it is a nice game Valhalla is far away from the top predators of the genre such
as Witcher 3 for example by the quality of the story and characters.
Anyway, it will keep you entertained for a few days at least.
God of War
Here you will slay the whole pantheon of pre-Viking Norse gods and creatures, because you rock
and they suck.
The PC version has some nice upgrades compared to the PlayStation version.
Here you will enjoy true 4K resolution with unlocked frame rates, higher resolution shadows,
improved screen space reflections, ultrawide screen support and so on.
The difference will be best understood by people who wear sight correction glasses - the
difference between those two game versions is like the difference between your old glasses
and brand new ones.
The world just becomes more beautiful and you never knew that you even needed that.
Red Dead Redemption 2
One of the best open world games there is.
It’s hard to argue about that.
Here you are an outlaw on the run.
With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on your heels, you and
your gang must rob, steal and fight your way across the rugged heartland of America in
order to survive.
Game is serious, but it doesn’t take itself seriously - it’s full of really funny unexpected
events and situations.
On the other hand - the story is serious and some of your actions will have serious consequences.
Main story will take about 50 hours from your boring life and all the online content can
take ten times more.
You know, those are the same creators as of GTA games, they know how to pin your attention
for a long time, so be sure you have it.
Beautiful Desolation
I can honestly say that this is one of the coolest games I have ever played.
It may sound silly, because this is actually a point and click game, but it was made so
well I was very impressed during my playthrough and I still am.
They wanted to create something original, something different and never seen before.
And, I can clearly say that they succeeded.
I promise that story-wise you never played anything like that.
Whole game feels like some wet surrealistic sci-fi dream of Carl Sagan, with weird characters,
weird conversations and a weird atmosphere in general that somehow still makes sense.
If you ever read anything by Phillip K. Dick you will understand what I’m talking about.
And this game is pure art.
But it’s hard.
Puzzles you have to solve are no joke, so prepare to be mentaly humiliated and deal
with the fact that your IQ is not as high as you think it is.
Immortals Fenyx Rising
So another Epic exclusive just received a Steam release.
And it also has tons of issues; people are talking that gold content is not available,
some have controller issues and of course it needs you to have an Ubisoft Account as
well.
But in general this is an amazing title.
I bought this game for a full price on the release day and I can proudly say that this
is probably the best game I have played in the year of 2020.
I was expecting nothing from it - it looks childish and colorful and I don’t like any
of that.
I started to feel that something is a sus with my prejudice when I heard the first joke.
Which was really good, I’m not gonna spoil it to you.
And Later I started to realize that the whole game is filled with jokes that I find funny.
Even in the character creation menu.
Fun thing is that during the whole game gods - Zeus and Prometheus - are talking in the
background about you in the past tense.
Like everything you do has already happened.
You know, when they say “and then he saw a terrible monster”, you can be sure that
you will see a terrible monster in a second, because it is your story that has already
happened, but you don’t know how yet, only gods know.
In other words - you have to live the story gods are talking about.
So let’s hope they don’t say anything like “and he put some pineapples on his
potato salad and then some on his pizza as well”.
Oh the horror!
Although avoid this game if you don’t like puzzles.
Fenyx Rising is filled with them.
But if you liked solving puzzles in Skyrim for example, you will feel right at home here
as well.
Days Gone
This is an open-world action-adventure game set in a harsh wilderness two years after
a devastating global pandemic which has made a lot of zombies out of unlucky humans.
Here you will take control of a bounty hunter trying to find a reason to live in a land
surrounded by death.
You will scavenge through abandoned settlements for equipment to craft valuable items and
weapons, or take your chances with other survivors.
Also, as I always say, have you noticed how every single movie, tv show or video game
about zombies tries to call them any other name except zombies?
Walkers, Biters, Flesh-eaters, Crazed-ones, Infected, Creepers, Roamers and so on, anything
except zombies.
And in Days Gone zombies are called Freakers.
And no, Zombie is not a copyrighted word.
At least for 30 recent years.
And that, although I like this variety, makes no sense, because if the zombie apocalypse
actually happened you would call it the zombie apocalypse, not freakers apocalypse or walkers
apocalypse.
That is ridiculous.
You know, if you saw a man at night drinking blood from the neck of another human being
you wouldn't say something like: aaa...
I know what it is - it’s a sucky, a red liquid thirster, syphoner, freaky imbiber,
a burner-in-the-sun, a necky-biter, the drinker-of-human-juices.
You wouldn’t say that.
Anyway, Days Gone has very positive reviews on Steam, so give it a try.
Northgard
This is an RTS game based on Norse mythology in which you play as a clan of Vikings trying
to conquer a mysterious newfound continent.
In this simple strategy game you will find lots of victory conditions, atmospheric music,
changing seasons and, as you can see, pretty nice art design.
Also the game has a decent campaign with a good story.
Sadly Northgard’s AI is cheating with infinite resources and manpower, meaning that developers
couldn't create really good Intelligence that could win against humans on its own.
But nevertheless, Northgard is a good RTS game for a few days.
Or even more, maybe you’ll fall in love with it.
You know, like a tapeworm falls in love with your guts...
Yeah, I’m not the most romantic person, I know.
Ancestors Legacy
This is a real-time strategy game influenced by historical events of the Middle Ages.
Ancestors Legacy combines resource management and base building with large-scale, squad-based
battles across vast battlefields, all rendered in great detail with Unreal Engine 4.
Here you will experience medieval bloodshed and can enjoy a cinematic action camera that
puts you right in the middle of the battle.
People on Steam are talking that Ancestors Legacy is easy to learn and it's like chess.
It involves a lot of strategy, so the more you play the better you become.
Also don’t forget that the GOG Winter sale is happening right now!
You can click on my affiliate link in the description below and you will get straight
into it - thousands of deals, discounted games and DLCs - it’s all there.
Or you can pick one of my videos about the sale you are looking at right now - I will
help you to make up your mind.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye!
