Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let's start with the fact which I didn't notice this whole week - Steam
Deck is 10% off until the end of Steam Spring Sale. If you ever wanted it, it's a great time
to save a lot of moneys, because 10% here is not the same as 10% from some 12 dollar game.
Anyway... Dreamscaper
This is a beautiful action roguelite game. At first the gameplay is very easy - At least it
was when I played the game, I felt no bigger challenge and all the creatures died from my
mighty swings without any problems. I was like “hey, I’m really good at this game”.
The challenge began when I finally met the first boss. And the fight was great!
Like 10 out of 10 great. And also it was the strongest aspect of this game.
But I was kinda surprised that the more I played - the more souls-like the game got. Easy peasy
beginning was a trap. Actually Dreamscaper is very unforgiving and difficult. I wouldn’t mind,
but most of the weapons here are slow. You know, like your sister.
It felt like I was swinging them through the water or something, and you have to make
perfectly timed attacks for critical hits. That is a hard thing to do with slow poke weapons.
But if this isn’t a problem for you, then it may be the game for you. It
has great art design, visuals, puzzles and the gameplay is really fun.
The Talos Principle You find yourself in a strange, contradictory
world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of
increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith or to ask the difficult
questions: Who are you? What is your purpose? And what is the best recipe
of the potato salad? Here you will have to solve more than 120
immersive puzzles, divert drones, manipulate laser beams and even replicate time to prove yourself
and to find a way out. If you think that you have a great intellect, this game will humble you down,
I promise. Sunless Skies
Here you play the captain of a locomotive, a steam engine fitted for off-rail travel:
sailing the stars, leading your crew into trouble and out of their minds.
Smuggle souls, barter for crates of time, stop for cricket and a cup of vodka. Discover
more of the deep, dark and marvelous Fallen London Universe. Also, if you like this one,
check out Sunless Sea as well. You can play either game first, the stories coexist happily,
just like beer coexists with its bottle. Sunless Skies is a narrative game,
all action is just an addition to a bigger story, be prepared for that.
Starship Troopers Terran Command This game has a model similar to They
Are Billions where you defend from the hordes of enemies and try to keep your base alive.
Also here you can literally relive the best moments of the Starship Troopers movie by
defending your base from hordes of ladybugs. Anyway here you will encounter dozens of unique
insect types, each with their own special abilities and skills. Also the map has
terrain elevation, true line of sight & true line of fire providing deep tactical gameplay. Meaning
that units that stand behind other units can’t shoot unless they stand on a higher ground.
Sadly you can’t play as alien insects. It’s not off the table completely,
developers say, but now you can only play as a military human society. That’s it.
If you are wondering if you can build a base here - yes you can, but that is not the main focus of
the game I would say. Despite that it has a very positive review score on Steam and many
commentators are stating that if you like C&C or Starcraft you must try Starship Troopers as well.
So do not ignore it. Soma
What a great deal for this horror science fiction game. Here you will explore an
abandoned underwater facility in the bottom of the ocean.
You don’t know what happened here, where everybody is and what is your purpose. Although soon enough
you will find out that you are not alone here. And not everybody you’ll meet on this journey
will be willing to give you a direction or two. Most of the inhabitants will be willing to make a
potato salad out of you instead, so be careful. If you played Amnesia, be aware that Soma is
basically the same. Slay The Spire
More than 100 thousand players 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 up 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. Choo-Choo Charles
Here you will navigate a massive play area in a cute little train and your mission here
is to kill and destroy another train. Which is a bloodthirsty spider train named Charles.
So mister Charlie is a very bad train, he misbehaves by eating people alive. He's a very
hungry train and he won't stop until you stop him. With machine guns, rockets and other weaponry.
People on Steam are praising the game for having a great story, characters, concept and design. It is
a short game though, it will take about 3 hours to beat it, but those hours will be legendary.
Game has a very positive review score, so don't hesitate - if you ever wanted to hunt for some
killer spider train - it is your chance. The biggest downside of the game is that you
can't romance other trains or Charlie himself. It would be great if this story took a turn
towards breeding new Charlies. So you can’t cross that out of
your bucket list yet, but who knows what next patch will bring us.
Ryse Son of Rome Another game with a
ridiculous price tag. Ryse looks like God of War, Shadow of War and Assassin’s Creed smashed
together and that is never a bad thing. Here you will take on the role of a Roman soldier
who joins the army to avenge the slaying of your family and then become a hero who must
fight to save the Roman Empire itself. Well, we all know that the Roman Empire is
no more, so spoilers - you failed, but in the end it doesn’t really matter what you did or didn’t,
all it matters is that you had fun by killing hundreds of enemies and
did that in a satisfying manner. People on Steam are talking that Ryse:
Son of Rome is really nice - the game is short, sweet and enjoyable. Very
positive review score left by 27 thousand buyers can confirm that with ease.
Northgard This is an RTS game based on Norse mythology in
which you play as a clan of Vikings vying for the control of 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 pretty good story. Sadly, as I’ve mentioned many times
before, 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.
I know that many strategy games do not have strong AI's, but they at least try.
But you never know, maybe developers were AI geniuses but
were afraid of accidentally making Skynet. You know, being accused of making a bad AI
is one thing, but being responsible for a robot uprising that destroyed human civilization - yeah,
you know, better safe than sorry. Nevertheless, Northgard is a good RTS game
for a few days. Or maybe more, maybe you’ll fall in love with it. You know, like a tapeworm falls
in love with your guts... Cult of The Lamb
More than 90% of a positive review score is not something you may easily ignore.
You know, you may ignore your coworkers, you may ignore that nasty pimple on your nose, you may
even ignore the fact that you earn the same amount of money as in the last year and the inflations is
making you poor, but you can't ignore potato salad, boobies and cult of the lamb.
Because here you will be thrown in the role of a possessed lamb and must start your own cult in a
land of false prophets. You will venture out into diverse and mysterious regions to build
a loyal community of fanatical followers and spread your Word to become the one true cult.
Also you will have to destroy the non-believers and defeat rival cult leaders to absorb their
power and potato salad. People on Steam are saying that the game is unbelievably fun,
has great art style and is really addictive. Just like a real cult.
