Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Frostpunk
If you ever had a dream to make children work in the mines - this game will fulfill this
dream of yours in no time.
Frostpunk is a city management and building game, but with heavy survival elements and
resource management mechanics.
You will be in charge of a steampunk society that survived the collapse of civilization.
But sometimes it is better to perish with the others than to be governed by a maniac
like you.
Just remember those children you sent into the mines.
Anyway you know, their hands are tiny, but they are fast.
Some of them might die, their parents will organize a coup against you, but you know,
you can't rebel if you're dead.
You know, you rebel - you die.
Also in this way you will have less people to feed.
Everything falls in place like mayonnaise on the potato salad.
Since the premiere, Frostpunk has been enriched with a number of updates.
Now you can enjoy the new Endless Mode that increases the game's replayability.
There is also a new scenario - The Fall of Winterhome, that further expands the game’s
universe and lore.
And for the dessert, they added things like naming characters and automatons.
And finally a photo mode.
The game has about 90% of positive review score on Steam and is great for everyone who
likes to dive into a post-apocalyptic world and make it better.
Or worse.
Way worse.
SnowRunner
Well, this is officially a realistic driving game about getting from point A to point B
while transporting various cargo.
But I would rather call it a souls-like roguelite puzzle game.
Of course not in the real terms, but rather metaphorically, because the game is insanely
hard and you will be doing the same task again and again.
Basically here you have to drive a heavy load truck to the appointed destination, but the
trick here is that the road is not what you normally expect - you will have to deal with
snow and mud, ice, rivers, fallen trees and so on.
And if you get stuck for real - that's kinda it, you will have to try again.
And of course, avoid mistakes of the past.
Which you can't in real life.
You know, all the mistakes you made in your life led you to this very moment where you
watch my video.
Yeah...
Well, honestly, if you would have done something differently, you could have ended up in a
lava lake instead or in the belly of a shark.
So, maybe your decisions were not that bad.
Pat yourself on the shoulder.
Travellers Rest
This is a tavern management game where you can brew your own beer, run a farm, and build
relationships.
You are an innkeeper, on a journey to transform a run-down tavern into a bustling social space.
Based in a cheerful fantasy setting, Travellers Rest is a place to meet people, explore new
places and uncover ancient magic.
Along your journey you’ll discover new things to brew, farm, cook, and build to create your
perfect fantasy tavern.
Game is still in early access, but has more than 90% of positive reviews.
People on Steam are saying that this game is awesome and if you like titles like Stardew
Valley, it's a must play.
Also you can smack angry customers away with your mop.
Moonlighter
Here you are a shopkeeper who wants to keep your customers happy by providing them with
various goods.
You can put items on sale, set their price carefully, manage gold reserves, recruit assistants
and upgrade the shop.
Be careful though – some shady individuals may want to steal your precious wares!
The trickiest part is getting the goods.
You have to swim over river Nemunas to Kaliningrad, get contraband and then swim back to the European
Union to get rich.
No, of course I’m kidding.
You have to go to ancient passages to different realms and dimensions, fight various enemies
and collect items from their dead cold maimed bodies.
So romantic.
Anyway here the part where you hack, slash and die begins.
People on Steam are saying that the game is fun, aesthetically pleasing and relaxing.
Yeah, relaxing.
So forget about big challenges, it's an easier game in general.
But hey, it's nice to have something not souls-like hardcore from time to time after all.
Dying Light 2 Stay Human
Playing this game while being sober was an act of heroism on my side.
You know why?
Because this game is scary and it amplified my anxiety levels - they went up through the
roof while I was playing it.
Speaking about roofs - most of the time here you will parkour and climb on them.
I played the game for more than 10 hours and in those hours I spent about 5 minutes on
the ground.
I don’t even know if the city itself is beautifully done, there is no need to go down
- it’s too dangerous
that’s what she said
And you often bump into a dead end with too high unjumpable walls.
And that is a bit inconvenient when you are running from a herd of brainthirsty zombies
and the level of your anxiety is melting your brain down.
It’s a fun game to try, but do not expect miracles - for me the deciding factor to leave
it and never go back was degrading weapons - you can kill like 10 zombies with one weapon
and then it breaks, so you can’t have a favorite weapon here.
That is terrible.
I made a review video back then and gave it 6 cold beers out of 10.
Now I’m thinking, because it's on sale, for this price maybe 7 is a more accurate
score.
Anyway, the price is still kinda high, be cautious, read the comments.
Crashlands
In this open world survival crafting game you are a galactic trucker whose latest shipment
gets derailed leaving you stranded on an alien planet.
As you hustle to get back your packages you’ll become involved in a nefarious plot of world
domination, which will require all of your wits to overcome.
Here you will learn recipes from the local sentient life, make new friends, uncover ancient
secrets and fight deadly bosses.
You can also tame everything and build yourself a home-away-from-home as you learn to thrive
in this unforgiving world.
People on Steam are saying that the game is entertaining, with funny dialogue and challenging
combat.
Almost 90% of the reviews are positive.
Children of Morta
This is an action RPG with a rogue-lite approach to character development, where you don’t
play a single character - but a whole family of heroes.
You will hack and slash through hordes of enemies in procedurally generated dungeons,
caves and lands and lead the family with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming
Corruption.
Although I must warn you that this game is not for everyone.
For example I don’t like stories about cute cozy families, about love and similar drama.
This kind of genre mixing is weird, I actually have no idea who is the target audience of
this game.
Well, you might like it after all, about 90% of reviews are positive, so it may be your
spoon of potato salad.
And I...
I would give it 5 warm milks out of 10.
So this is the rare occasion where my score and public score is not even close.
This War of Mine
Here you will take care of a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling
with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers.
The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.
The pace of the game is imposed by the day and night cycle.
During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus
on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors.
And at night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique
locations for items that will help you stay alive.
You know, like medicine or a box of beer.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
This is a really original and truly amazing game where you play as an ape.
Yeah, your journey starts 10 million years ago and by then we still shared our ancestors
with gorillas and chimpanzees.
Our last common ancestor with the apes, chimpanzees to be exact is known to be roughly about 5
million years old.
So you start as an ape and over the years evolve into an early human.
The whole game spans from 10 million to 2 million years ago.
Your task is for you and your tribe to not to die and not choose the path of extinction.
The future of humanity is in your hands.
Like literally.
It's a wonderful game reminding us that we are just starting to go on our evolutionary
path as human species.
2 million years is nothing.
Dinosaurs existed for 165 million years before they all died out.
Except the birds of course.
Add another +65 million years to that big number.
That is a huge difference.
Not as huge as your mama though.
Anno 1404 - History Edition
So here you will be time-traveling back to the good ol' medieval days, but without all
the smelly stuff.
It's really a blessing that we can't smell things through our screens.
The game is all about building and ruling your very own kingdom, so it's like SimCity
on a knight's diet.
So get ready to flex those management muscles of yours as you build majestic cities, juggle
resources, and expand your empire.
It's like playing medieval Tetris, except the blocks are buildings and they do not annihilate
if you build them in a row.
That's a good thing.
So, it’s not like tetris?
Oh, shut up.
And the best part is diplomacy!
Forge alliances with other rulers, negotiate trade deals, and maybe even send a bowl of
potato salad to some neighbor.
Although be warned - it is a Ubisoft game so as always it is polluted with the Ubisoft
launcher, that may prevent you from even launching the game.
Verily, believe you me, my good friend, mine own eyes beheld some dread-inducing comments
upon yon Steam!
So, read them all.
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Here you will embark on an epic adventure full of whimsy, wonder, and high-powered weaponry!
Bullets, magic, and broadswords collide across this chaotic fantasy world brought to life
by the unpredictable Tiny Tina.
Which is your disorderly guide through this realm where rules rarely apply.
You will explore a vast overworld spanning majestic cities, dank mushroom forests and
epic fortresses.
You can choose your own multiclass hero and loot, shoot, slash, and cast your way through
outlandish monsters and loot-filled dungeons.
Take on a quest to stop the tyrannical Dragon Lord and show everyone who’s the real boss
is.
Well, as always, probably not you.
You can play it alone or co-op with a friend.
Although it has mostly positive review score on Steam, so if you are not made of money,
I suggest you put the game in your wishlist and wait for a bigger discount.
Monument Valley: Panoramic Edition 1 & 2
Here you will embark on a journey as Ida, the silent princess, through impossible environments
and illusionary puzzles.
You will experience this meditative and calming puzzle game by manipulating monuments and
creating evolving paths to explore new - surreal, and mysterious - worlds.
So basically you will solve tricky but immensely satisfying puzzles with optical illusions
at their core.
Evolve landscapes to reveal pathways that would have otherwise been impossible.
And as you progress, discover beautiful architecture, transforming landscapes through pushing, pulling,
clicking, raising, lowering and more.
98% of positive reviews is not a thing you can easily ignore.
So don’t.
Gloom
Here, afflicted by severe amnesia, you drift deep into the Common Dream.
You scour for the lost pages of the Necronomicon, while clinging on to any little purpose you
have left.
Faced with mad dreamers and horrible abominations, like you know, people who like pineapple in
their potato salad, and eldritch deities, you feel drawn to the dark Abyss deep within.
The game is inspired by H.P.
Lovecraft, but has an original story.
Here you will find a wide array of weapons, items, and foes offering tons of unique, compelling
scenarios.
Also procedural level structure that ensures endless replay value.
People on Steam are saying that the game has a great story, a bit clunky combat and...
you won't like this - a permadeath.
Yeah, if you die, then you die and the only thing you get for it is a bunch of tokens
to start a little stronger next time.
Gloom has a very positive review score on Steam and the price is more than nice.
Titan Souls
The game is like a boss battle bonanza, and you're the brave little hero taking on these
ginormous bad boys.
So prepare for some epic battles that'll test your skills, reflexes, and patience.
It's a souls-like game, so lots and lots of patience.
The game is packed with 20 colossal titans, each with its own unique and challenging boss
fight.
You'll be like "Twenty titans?
That's more boss battles than I have fingers!"
Well, at least some of you would say that.
So shout out for you my fingerless friend.
Now subscribe, use something else for this task.
Titan Souls typically takes around 4 to 6 hours to complete, depending on your skill
level.
Although if you are like me, a bit slow with these kinds of games, it probably will take
longer.
Way longer.
The Wandering Village
This is a city building simulation game.
In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth and emitting toxic spores
as they grow, a group of people seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature.
Here you will have to become their leader, build settlement and form a symbiotic relationship
with the creature to survive together.
Well I hope you can be really helpful for the creature, because, you know, otherwise
those people are just parasites living on its back and you're the leader of parasites.
That doesn’t sound so dreamy and glamorous, right?
Well, you help the creature to get rid of the evil plants, but I doubt that it is a
good deal for the creature.
You know people are pooping and dying and planting stuff on your back, it’s a colony
of horror from the perspective of that dinosaur thing.
Anyay, the game has around 90% of positive review score, but it is in early access, so
some features are probably missing.
Lumencraft
This is a combination of a top-down shooter and base building game with tower defense
elements.
Here you will enter procedurally generated levels with a fully destructible environment.
You will build your base, dig some tunnels and find the precious Lumen - humanity's only
chance for survival.
A crystal of high energy that may be the last chance for mankind.
Your people established an underground settlement and went into the dark to reach the nearby
deposits.
But the darkness consumed them, as the subterranean caves and tunnels hold as much danger as salvation.
Now it’s time for you to step into the endless shadows and show all that darkness who the
real boss is.
As always - probably not you.
Old World
A really nice game for Civilization and Crusader Kings fans.
It is an historical strategy game where you lead your empire through multiple generations,
building a grand legacy to last beyond your own years.
Here each of the 7 kingdoms has four noble families that provide various benefits when
put in charge of your cities.
So you will obviously have to marry for politics, raise your heirs, and manage your relationship
with the other influential noblemen of your kingdom.
So like in that movie I never saw with Vin Diesel, family is what matters here and if
you want to be a strong ruler - your family must be strong as well.
So probably marriages between cousins or brothers and sisters here and there is what you actually
want.
You may think that this is just a simple clone of Civilization, but the game actually takes
about 40 hours to beat and contains 3 000 unique events inspired by history and mythology.
Review score howers around 80% of positivity, so despite some minor things all is good in
this field.
Rain World
Here you are a slugcat.
The world around you is full of danger, and you must face it alone.
Separated from your family in a devastating flood, you must hunt for food and shelter
between terrifying torrential flows that threaten to drown all life.
So you dream about being not a slugcat but a fishcat instead, but here your dreams, just
like in real life, never become a reality.
You will climb through the ruins of an ancient civilization, evade the jaws of vicious predators,
and discover lands teeming with strange creatures and buried mysteries.
And of course, find your family before death finds you!
And it would be all nice and all, but I can see a "souls-like" among the tags of the game.
So be assured, be absolutely one hundred percent warranted that death will find you.
Not once, not twice, not three times, not...
Well, you know what I mean.
People on Steam are talking that Rain World has a very steep learning curve, but once
you've mastered it, you start to feel unstoppable.
Also about 90% of positive review score is not a joke.
Death's Door
Here you control a Crow - some kind of bird grim reaper.
Suddenly your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a
realm untouched by death - where creatures grow far past their expiry
date and overflow with greed and power.
Well, this place sounds like a parliament of every country.
You will have a vast array of melee weapons, various arrows and powerful magic to overcome
a fantastic bunch of beasts and demigods - the land is full of twisted inhabitants and countless
secrets.
Just like parliament.
Anyway, here you will experience a somber yet darkly comedic tale, uncovering the secrets
behind the flow of souls, the role of the Crows and the origin of the Potato Salad-Man
himself.
Well, probably not the latter.
I’m just kidding.
Or am I?
Project Hospital
Here you will manage your very own hospital.
It's a serious business without funny diseases or events.
Here you will become an ace doctor, an aspiring architect and a successful manager - all at
the same time.
I especially like the details of this game, how you put a microscope on the table, how
monitors are lit up only when the doctor is using them and many many other small things.
You know how they say - the potato salad is in the details.
Also this game has great educational value - I've seen actual doctors saying that this
is a very impressive title.
Well, honestly anyone can introduce themselves as a doctor on the internet, so take this
with a grain of salt.
For example, I'm a doctor as well.
But I can cure only one disease: your eternal boredom.
For that I have a vaccine of good games in my entertaining lists.
And speaking about this game, if you ever wanted to become an outstanding penis doctor,
but life ripped this chance out of your weak limpy hands, this is your opportunity to at
least take a glimpse at this glorious life you will never have.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I'll see you next time, bye!
