Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Terminator: Resistance
I remember seeing a trailer of this game a few years ago and I was like "meh, this probably
will be a flop" and I ignored it on my false prejudice for years.
Why false?
Well, it has more than 90% of positive reviews on Steam, not too far away from Overwhelmingly
positive title, so it's almost a masterpiece.
The game is a first-person shooter set during the 'Future War' scenario that was only glimpsed
in the first two iconic movies.
The machines are destined to lose, but at what cost?
So 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.
People on Steam are saying that this is the real Terminator 3, as it should have been.
It contains an amazing atmosphere, also interesting story and developed characters.
Most people are recommending to buy it for the full price without any doubts, but boy
oh boy, aren't you lucky today - 60% discount is a treat you may want to feast on.
That’s for sure.
Quern - Undying Thoughts
This is a first-person puzzle adventure game, inviting you on a journey to explore the beautiful
land and solve many challenges.
Here you will put your IQ to the test with the increasingly complex puzzles, and unravel
the mysteries of the island.
Remember Myst?
So it's quite the same: it is original and solving one or another puzzle is really rewarding.
You know, for your ego.
People on Steam are saying that Quern is one of the best puzzle games they ever played
- it also has more than 90% of positive reviews, and the bad ones are mostly about the technical
issues.
People don't realize that you should check your graphics card drivers all the time.
For example I couldn't even run Elden Ring without updating them.
Anyway, this is a great game, really worth your money even when not on a sale.
Against the Storm
This is a roguelite city builder set in a gloomy fantasy world.
Artistically this is one of the coolest RTS city-builder games I have seen lately... except
one thing.
Here it never stops raining.
And I hate rain.
In my country Lithuania, rain is always cold, even in the summer and in any other season
it feels like an ice needles piercing my puny body straight to the bone.
Also I wear glasses, so it’s a thing that’s really hard to love.
Anyway, here you are a pioneer sent into the wilds to establish and manage new settlements
inhabited by smart beavers, lizards, and humans.
Your goal is to survive long enough and gather the valuable resources necessary to rebuild
and upgrade your city.
It’s the only safe haven against the Blightstorm — a vile cycle of destruction ravaging everything
in its path.
Talespire
It is a beautiful way to play pen and paper RPGs except here you won’t need pen and
paper.
Instead you can bring your own stories to life and embark upon campaigns together with
your friends.
Regardless of where you are in the world, the engine of TaleSpire will do everything
it can to make you happy.
Well it can’t make potato salad.
Just a disclaimer.
So in a way it's a tabletop game, where the rules, battles and adventures are supervised
by AI.
As developers say - the beauty of real world tabletop gaming here meets the endless possibilities
of a digital world.
Here you can build your adventures without compromising the handcrafted aesthetic of
using traditional miniatures.
You can take on the mantle of multiple heroes and creatures, manage your stats, and express
yourself using the emote system.
Perform dice rolls directly on the board and interact with your environment.
As a Game Master, you can dazzle and thrill your friends by building expansive maps, setting
up shots, and controlling immersive soundscapes to bring all your delightful and devious designs
to life.
I also have to say that TaleSpire is not tied to a specific game or ruleset.
You make rules or bend them as you wish and the game makes sure that no one can break
them.
The Wolf Among Us
This is a gritty, violent and mature thriller based on the award-winning Fables comic books.
Here you will discover that a brutal, bloody murder is just a beginning where your every
decision can have enormous consequences.
And it’s not only WHAT you choose to do that will affect your story, but WHEN you
choose to do it as well.
You don't need to know anything about the comics this game is based on, because events
in this story are set before the events seen in the first book.
And this game gives you an option to beat up practically anyone you don't like.
Sadly you can't import that energy sucking co-worker of yours in this game, but hey,
you can beat him up in real life instead.
I mean if you are stronger than him.
If not, just smile and blame your genes.
Age of Darkness: Final Stand
Since that Starcraft mission I played 20 years ago where I had to hold my base intact against
a neverending zerg attack, this concept landed in a warm place of my cold beered heart.
Later I have played countless maps like that on Starcraft 2 and then They Are Billions
was released.
I enjoyed the game, but I was disappointed as well, because it lacked unit types and
was kinda repetitive.
Age of Darkness is a bit different - It has a very positive review score on Steam and
the technology, allowing over 70,000 swarming AI units on screen at the same time.
Also day and night transitions and more defensive unit types than They Are Billions had.
That sounds nice, but we all know how this gameplay will go for you.
You’ll see some zombies breaching your walls and then you’ll be like
“Ummm... this is fine”
Besiege
This is a physics based building game in which you construct medieval siege engines and lay
waste to immense fortresses and peaceful villages.
Build a machine which can crush windmills, wipe out battalions of brave soldiers and
transport valuable resources, defending your creation against cannons, archers and everything
else.
Game looks beautiful, the art style is 10 cold beers out of 10.
And the same is difficulty, at least at the beginning, because my machines did more harm
to themselves than to their surroundings.
Anyway, I promise you that after a bit of practice you will build your incredible mechanical
potato of terror and destroy some peaceful castles.
The Witness
I hate this game.
The Witness is for smart people with great memory.
And I’m none of these people.
And although I like puzzles and all that, but by playing Witness I realized that I’m
way dumber than I imagined.
So, if you would like to test your memory and IQ, this is a great title for you.
Just keep in mind that the results can be a bit disappointing.
The game itself is set in a beautiful open world island, where you have to crack all
the riddles to unveil a terrible secret.
If you are not some puzzle maniac - you will never get there, but at least the game will
show you your limits.
Citizen Sleeper
This is a serious game for serious people and it has above 90% of positive reviews,
meaning that this is a great game no matter how you look at it.
Citizen Sleeper is a narrative RPG which takes you on Erlin's Eye - a ruined space station
that is home to thousands of people trying to survive on the edges of an interstellar
capitalist society.
You are a sleeper, a digitized human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation
that wants you back.
So literally someone owns your ass and the rest of you.
And amongst the unfamiliar and colorful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships,
earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to
survive.
Game is text-based with multiple endings, beautiful drawings and sci-fi cyberpunk atmosphere.
It's like a great book, where you can actually tell the hero what he must do.
Return of the Obra Dinn
This may come as a surprise but the game has an overwhelmingly positive review score left
by thousands of people who actually bought and played the game.
In 1802, the merchant ship Obra Dinn set out from London for the Orient with over 200 tons
of trade goods.
Six months later it hadn't met its rendezvous point and was declared lost at sea.
But early this morning, about 5 years after its disappearance, the Obra Dinn drifted into
a port with damaged sails and no visible crew.
As insurance investigator for the East India Company's London Office, you dispatch immediately
to find means to board the ship, and prepare an assessment of damages.
So this is a first-person mystery adventure based on exploration and logical deduction.
In other words - a story-rich single player atmospheric horror detective retro walking
simulator return of the jedi of the planet of the apes.
The Deadly Tower of Monsters
The game treats itself as a 1970s movie.
That is not a joke, that is the whole concept of the game.
It is filled with classic themes: such as the daughter versus the tyrant father, the
planet full of innocent ape-creatures, the dashing space-age liberator, the robot companion
or the tower full of treacherous mutations...
As developers say - a timeless classic for all ages!
So in general this is an action adventure sci-fi comedy game with dynamic narration
set in a retro futuristic environment.
You can play it alone or together with your friends or mother in law on a shared or split
screen.
Game has full controller support and, honestly, full support of your poverty, because the
price is more than friendly.
Rustler
As developers say they took the inspiration for the Rustler from the Monty Python and
first two GTA games and made a medieval game out of that.
I can remember playing the first part of GTA for hours and hours and skipping school because
of it.
Never regretted that.
Anyway, the Rustler is a humorous approach to the medieval genre - here you will find
stuff such as no parking zones for your horse and police horses that have flashing red and
blue lights on them.
Game is set in an open-world and you play as The Guy, whose parents apparently were
too lazy to give him a proper name.
Here you will experience feudal injustice, inquisition, witch-hunting, and join The Grand
Tournament.
Meet incredibly stupid knights, complete a wide variety of twisted missions and quests,
or ignore the plot and bring mayhem in the villages and cities.
Choose to go on foot, or by a stolen horse.
Fight with a sword or pick a fancy automatic crossbow.
All that, spiced up with a Monty Python inspired sense of humor.
And you can burn down the whole village as well.
The Shore
I have played this game while it was still in development and I was really impressed
by the grand scale of some creatures and entities that roam this Lovecraftian world.
Well, by saying Lovecraftian I really mean it - you will literally encounter Ctulhu himself.
So basically The Shore is a game about the mystery of the unknown, set on a forbidden
island filled with horrors.
Here you will take control of Andrew, a father searching for his lost daughter and while
doing the searching part you will awaken a cosmic horror or two.
Or you know, four.
Or seven.
This game is filled with them.
Although keep in mind that it is not flawless, it has some bugs, some invisible walls and
terrible combat.
Although fighting is not the main aspect of The Shore, that’s for sure.
Anyway, for this price I can really recommend this game if you like dark stories, Lovecraftian
worlds, your mother in law and creepy vibes in general.
Also it has photorealistic graphics and looks amazing.
Close to the Sun
It’s 1897.
Deep in international waters the Helios station stands still.
Born of Nikola Tesla’s vision, the Helios station serves as a haven for the greatest
scientific minds.
An unbound utopia for research, independent from the state and isolated from the gaze
of society.
Free to push the boundaries of matter and time.
So you will step aboard the Helios in search of your sister and you will quickly discover
that something went wrong:
grand halls stand empty and a stench of rotting flesh lingers in the air.
But why, tell me why?
Because there are bodies on the ground.
Rotting.
Yeah, when you see that, it can ring a bell in your mind that it might not be the usual
state of this beautiful place.
Or is it?
That’s what you have to find out.
Blacksad
This is a gloomy game set in a New York City of the 1950's in a world of anthropomorphic
animals.
You will play as Blacksad - a private detective and will have to untangle the secrets of mysterious
disappearance.
This sinister case will take you to the darkest, most dismal depths of New York where you will
immerse yourself in an eerily dark adventure.
Game is based on comic books, but if you don't know them, it's not a problem - it's probably
even better to not have any untimely bias.
People on Steam are saying that this is a very interesting game with a satisfying deduction
mechanic, probably one of the best among other detective games.
Although keep in mind that the game is short, it will take you about 9 hours to finish it.
Book of Demons
It is a surprisingly good game ignored by many just because of how it looks.
It has great lighting effects, but those paper figures are definitely not for everyone.
Anyway, here you can decide the length of the quests.
Wield magic cards instead of weapons and slay armies of darkness in the dungeons below the
Old Cathedral.
Yeah I bet you heard that somewhere.
People on Steam are talking that Book of Demons has great replayability with a variety of
combinations, interesting art direction and fast, non boring gameplay.
Although some are saying that the game can become a bit monotonous.
Buuut I'm pretty much sure that it can happen because of the skills and spells you use.
If your build is not fun enough - you will not get enough fun.
Simple, right?
So google some nice builds before you play, let there be a bit of Book of Demons among
big boobed milfs in your search history.
Anyway, the game has 91% of positive reviews and is kinda cheap.
The Falconeer
This story-rich action RPG game was created by one man.
Sometimes it's really hard to believe how talented some of us are.
You know on Steam there are hundreds of games created by dudes who can code, but have no
idea what design or good writing is.
Steam is becoming a trash container where I have to dig through the garbage to find
really good games like The Falconeer for you.
And I can assure you that this game is underrated - it has less than 200 reviews on Steam with
the result being Very Positive.
So here you take on the role of Falconeer, a powerful warrior traversing a vast oceanic
world torn apart by generations of poisonous decisions and dissent.
Throughout multiple campaigns, you will experience life from many different perspectives and
loyalties as you embark on a journey of discovery, and solve the biggest mystery.
Most people on Steam are talking that they had a lot of fun with this game and a recent
update made it possible to play it in VR mode as well.
So, if you have no problems with sea sickness, this may be a great choice for you.
Lilith Odyssey
This is a small, but really ambitious indie project you probably never heard about.
So here after The Great Nacho Wars have ended, A corrupt galactic government saps life and
resources from the many war-weary planets it controls.
Your alien family risks everything across an open-world galactic odyssey to find a mysterious
land of new beginnings.
And they’re all aware of their simulated nature.
Well, that's a twist.
I always say that our world is a simulation, because there is only a slight tiny chance
that our Universe is the original one, and not being simulated in a computer of some
other civilization in another universe.
Which is itself simulated in some other computer by some even more advanced civilization in
another universe.
And the cycle may continue endlessly.
So really, what are the chances that we live in the first one, the original universe?
A rhetorical question, but makes you think, right?
Anyway, you will embark on a galactic journey to Lilith - a faraway planet of new hope.
You will discover the history of the Mugalo galaxy.
Relax to in-game radio.
Grow your fishing, farming and spacefaring skills and enjoy casual adventure.
Pentiment
This game looks kinda dumb, but it is made by Obsidian Entertainment.
Yeah, the same guys behind Pillars of Eternity, Fallout New Vegas, The Outer Worlds and many
others.
What are the others?
Oh, shut up.
This is a narrative-driven historical game focusing on character development.
With heavily stylized art and choice-driven storytelling in early 16th century Bavaria.
You will play as Andreas Maler, a clever illustrator caught up in a series of murders in a secluded
abbey over the course of twenty five years.
You will be responsible for conducting your own investigation to decide the fate of the
community, but each decision will have lasting consequences and draws you closer to the center
of an underlying conspiracy.
People on Steam are saying that the writing is top quality, art style is amazing and animations
are great.
And yeah, the game has an Overwhelmingly positive review score as well.
Cat Museum
This is a surreal psychedelic point & click puzzle adventure like you have never seen
before.
If you like cats and original design and artwork aren't your enemies then this game is probably
for you.
A museum sits in the middle of nowhere and is guarded by a mysterious cat.
You unexpectedly become the manager of the museum and take on the job of repairing it.
You must find hidden clues and solve the puzzles, all the while dealing with his mischievous
cat.
The deeper you go, the closer you will get to the frightening answers.
And there are so many questions.
At least in your head.
More than 90% of positive reviews and this price is an irresistible combo.
Thank you for watching, and keep in mind that in my channel you can find many more Steam
Summer sale videos.
Like more than ten.
Closing to twenty now.
Watch them all.
You won’t be disappointed.
Have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye!
