Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start this Steam Winter Sale video with
Terminator: Resistance
It has 92% of positive reviews on Steam, so it's almost a masterpiece.
Emphasis on “almost”.
This is a first-person shooter set during the 'Future War' scenario that was only glimpsed
in the first two iconic movies.
Basically here you will run and gun or sneak and hack through Skynet’s defenses!
Level up your skills and explore a post-apocalyptic world for scraps to trade and craft, also
Interact with other survivors and change their fates.
Game has pretty good enemy AI: For example, when alerted, Terminators will bash doors,
look into vents and so on.
And they will find you and blast your brains all over the walls.
Except if you blast their nuts and bolts first.
Most people are recommending to buy it for the full price without any doubts, so now
it's a really good time to get it.
Also in this game you can have sex.
“With robots?”
I don’t know, you will find out.
Desperados III
Here you can kill quietly with a knife, or take out multiple foes with your revolvers.
I especially like the knife part, it somehow feels more epic.
Probably a relic memory from playing Counter Strike 20 years ago.
Yes, that game is really old by now.
Scenarios Desperado’s presents are far from cliche, situations are quite original, but
also familiar, with a nice vibe of Wild West.
I say vibe, because here you will fight not only in small frontier towns, but also in
creepy swamps, riverbanks and even in sprawling modern cities.
Here you can choose between non-lethal and deadly attacks, meaning that you can finish
the game without killing anyone.
I have no idea why you may do that, it’s boring.
I live my real life without killing anyone, why should I do the same where I’m allowed
to snap a neck or two?
For example, I’m against hunting for fun, but I play theHunter and I slaughter all the
animals in the forest for pure entertainment.
You know why?
Because they are not real duuuh.
Anyway, Desperados 3 is like an old good Commandos game, but modern, with amazing visuals and
great quality overall.
Ultrakill
Although the game looks simple, almost too simple, it is in 9th place by review score
on the whole Steam with more than 50 thousand games.
It’s ridiculous how good this game is.
ULTRAKILL is a fast-paced ultraviolent old school FPS that fuses together classic shooters
like Quake and modern shooters like Doom Eternal with character action games like Devil May
Cry.
Mankind has gone extinct and the only beings left on earth are machines fueled by blood.
And now that blood is starting to run out on the surface and machines are racing to
the depths of Hell in search of more.
As people on Steam describe this game politely: This is a Doom Eternal if it was on crack
and also on heroin.
And I would add that playing this game It's like eating potato salad except if you dry
it out and then snort it.
Journey
This is a very different game if you compare it to anything else in the gaming world.
Here you will have to traverse the desert, learn the fate of ancients and dive into dangerous
ruins.
Or not dangerous, just beautiful.
You can’t fight here, running away is also not an option, if you encounter an enemy - the
only way for you to survive is to hide.
But don’t worry, this is not some hide and seek game, enemies are very rare.
The thing you will do mostly here is traveling.
You will be on a journey.
It’s a relaxing game, you don’t need almost any skills to finish it - it’s just a beautiful
adventure with amazing visuals and you have all my recommendations.
Imagine that - my mother is 65 years old and she finished Journey on her Playstation 4
without any help from a side.
This game suits everyone.
Dishonored 2 and Prey bundle
Both Prey and Dishonored 2 are really cheap right now, but if you buy them together you
save an additional 19%.
Which is not a lot, but I can without any guilty conscience recommend you both games.
Those are story rich first person adventures that will keep you entertained for hours and
hours.
Prey is a sci-fi shooter that is very similar to Half-life - here you will be fighting aliens
by using innovative weapons.
And Dishonored 2 is a proud member of the whalepunk genre.
Yeah, I don't think there is anything else significant made in this dystopian setting
where energy is being produced by burning whale fat.
What if they run out of whales, you may ask?
It’s probably impossible - the human population must be really small for this to even begin
to work in the first place.
King Arthur: Knight's Tale
It is a Role-playing Tactical Game - a kind of unique hybrid between turn-based games
like X-Com and traditional, character-centric RPGs.
Here you will find diverse battle maps where you will have to position yourself to avoid
shield walls, flank your enemies, use covers against archers, make use of the terrain,
hide in the foliage and surprise your enemies with your endless wisdom.
The campaign of Knight's Tale puts a huge emphasis on moral choices, which have significant
consequences in a rogue-lite structure.
This adds extra tension to the tactical and management decisions.
Meaning that your characters are expendable and if they die, they will stay dead forever.
Also here along with smashing monsters, you'll have to build up Camelot fortress and unlock
new upgrades for your knights.
Soma
This is one of the best story games I have ever played.
Here you will explore an abandoned isolated underwater facility full of scary things where
you must find a way out.
It’s really hard to talk about Soma without spoiling the story, but in general you will
spend a lot of time in confined spaces filled with spooky monsters.
You have no guns, no means of self defense are available in this game, you can only hide.
Or run.
Or die.
If you played Amnesia - it’s kinda the same, just in a science-fiction setting, really
reminds me of Alien Isolation as well.
Although Soma has a better plot, it’s like playing a novel or a short story.
You are not just wandering in the dark all scared, all alone - no, you are wandering
in there for a reason, but you don’t know what that reason is.
Yet.
And I can only guess that the ending of this game will surprise you.
It surprised me, that’s for sure.
Gears Tactics
This game easily stands in one line with X-COM titles in a sense of quality and provided
entertainment.
Great graphics, cinematics and really interesting encounters had me pinned on my chair for hours
and hours.
Usually when I install turn-based games I get bored really quickly either because the
game seems too simple, too boring or it’s just too hard for me.
That’s what she said.
Yeah, but Gears Tactics is in the perfect Goldilocks zone in terms of difficulty and
fun, and it kept my interest alive for hours.
I can assure you that the quality of this game is as high as possible but I have to
stress out that I almost never play games that are entirely turn-based, well with some
exceptions like Heroes of Might and Magic, so I’m not an expert in this field by any
means.
Anyway, for me this game rocks and rolls and is great in general like the best doctor’s
sausage in the juiciest potato salad.
Homeworld Remastered & Deserts of Kharak Bundle
A 93% discount is not what you see every day.
Imagine that something is discounted like that in the real world, let’s say potatoes
or beer.
It would be gone from the store in a few seconds.
You would buy things with a discount like that even if you don’t really need them.
Square wheels with 93% discount?
Take them all.
Rubber ducks in the shape of giraffe - yes please.
93% discount on penis growing kit?
Sure, give me two.
Why two, you have only one.
It’s cheap, shut up!
So that is the trick here, to make you buy these amazing games actually, even if you
aren’t planning to play them straight ahead.
You know - this price is a steal and Homeworld games are actually very entertaining, a must
play for every RTS fan.
Inscryption
This is a card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike,
escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-infused cocktail.
Here you will acquire a deck of woodland creature cards by draft, surgery, and self mutilation,
unlock the secrets lurking behind the walls of a mysterious cabin and embark on an unexpected
and deeply disturbing adventure.
So don't play this game with your underage kids or something.
Anyway, overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam are well deserved, this game is a real
gem.
Also if you are in doubt you can play the free demo version.
Oxygen Not Included
Here you’ll find that scarcities of oxygen, warmth and sustenance are constant threats
to your colony's survival.
Guide colonists through the perils of subterranean asteroid living and watch as their population
grows until they're not simply surviving, but thriving...
Everything in your space colony is under your control, from excavation and resource allocation
right down to plumbing and power systems.
Resources will begin depleting with your first breath so be sure to dig fast if you want
to live.
Although if at some point of your life the mafia takes you to the woods and says these
words - it may not be entirely true.
Do not dig.
Syberia: The World Before
Game consists of two parts.
In the first one, you will play as a girl, who is beginning a brilliant career as a pianist.
However, shadows begin to appear over her future at the dawn of the Second World War.
And the next part of the story will take action to a year of 2004, where you will play as
the girl imprisoned in the salt mine, when a tragic event propels you into a new adventure
in search of your identity.
So here you will play in both timelines and explore a fantastic and poetic world with
amazing sceneries.
One thing I can say for sure - this game is beautiful.
Of course not as beautiful as you my friend, but still looking very good.
The art direction is at the top level, and it alone should spike your interest in this
adventure game with a great story.
Especially if you like to solve some complicated puzzles and nutcrack hardest riddles.
Oh yeah, sadly the game is not for the weak, it will squeeze your brain power quite well.
And all that is accompanied with a symphonic soundtrack composed by Inon Zur.
You probably know his tracks from Syberia 3, Fallout, Dragon Age and Prince of Persia.
Also you can try the demo version for free on Steam.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Here the city is overrun by deadly supernatural forces after 99% of the population just vanished.
You will use a powerful arsenal of spectral abilities to fight the paranormal threat and
unravel the mystery behind the mass disappearance.
It may sound and look a bit like a horror game but the main emphasis is set not on the
horror, but on the fast paced gameplay where you use your powerful abilities and can fight
various ghosts like a true ghostbuster.
Or more like a ghost eliminator!
Because you kill them, duh.
How can you kill somebody who’s already dead?
Oh shut up.
It’s not a science game.
And seriously, the game has a rating that allows 12 year olds to play.
So grow your mental balls and dive in.
Wildermyth
Again - overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.
Wildermyth is a character-driven, procedurally-generated tactical RPG.
Like the best tabletop roleplaying experiences, Wildermyth gives you choices and answers your
every decision with consequences that drive your characters forward.
The best thing is that all heroes die someday… yeah, that is probably not the best thing
to be honest, but here you get to hold on to your favorites.
Reintroduce them in the next adventure, and over many lifetimes you create your own legendary
pantheon.
This game is truly great.
Slay the Spire
Almost 100 thousand people are recommending this game for you and so do I. Slay The Spire
is a fuse of card games and roguelike titles.
Here you can craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures and discover relics of immense
power while trying to climb the ladder.
Game features a dynamic Deck Building so assemble your deck wisely!
Discover hundreds of cards to add to your deck with each attempt at climbing the Spire.
Select cards that work together to efficiently dispatch foes and reach the top.
People on Steam are talking that Slay the Spire is really addictive and yeah, I'm seeing
a lot of hours played in the comment section.
200 is quite a casual number here.
So, another game that will keep your virginity safe and sound for a long time.
Card Shark
Something really refreshing this time.
Card Shark is an adventure game full of cunning, intrigue, and delectable deceit.
Enter a world where you’ll need to play your opponents better than you play your cards.
For example when I play cards, I always cheat.
For me not winning is not an option.
That's why I never play cards with strangers.
You know, I avoid getting shot.
But in this game, everything is way more serious.
You will have to cheat your way to the top of 18th-century French society.
Master deceptions using card marking, false shuffles, deck switching, false deals, and
more!
Use your ill-gotten gains to buy your way into the closed world of high-stakes, or even
to a table of a King himself.
And yeah, please don't get caught while cheating a King.
So if you liked this video, there is another.
