Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Wasteland 3: Colorado Collection
I will say bluntly - if you like tactical turn based games - this RPG here is a must
play.
It’s not a recommendation or something, but the law.
You must play it if you want to go to, you know, Gamehalla after your death.
Well, I’ll be honest Gamehalla is not the best of Valhallas you can choose after death.
But, honestly, we play games like that, so nobody ever would invite us into Boobhalla.
Anyway, this version of the game includes both The Battle of Steeltown and Cult of the
Holy Detonation expansions, as well as the Colorado Survival Gear bonus items.
And the game itself is a wonderful gem for all Fallout, Baldur’s Gate and all turn-based
combat fans.
In Wasteland 3 you will travel to the frozen wastes of Colorado to deal with gangs, cults,
and psychopathic clowns in an effort to bring stability to the wastes.
Or you know, even more chaos and even more psychopathic clowns.
Here your decisions really matter and the world will change according to your actions
and reactions.
Cyberpunk 2077
I have no doubt that many of you are wondering - is it finally the time to play Cyberpunk
2077 and is it actually fixed?
As you all remember - game had a lot of issues back then.
Police instantly teleporting behind your back was just a cherry on the top.
The game was released without advertised metro system, which was literally specifically shown
in the main trailer of the game, driving cars felt like driving a sand bag and I’m not
even talking about the lack of such casual features as a hairdresser - you had to play
the whole game with the same dumb green beard and pink eyebrows you chose while being drunk.
Anyway, after some time, major updates and fixes are slowly turning it into a decent
game.
You can already change your haircut and the police are teleporting a bit further away.
It still literally feels like they teleport though and that sucks.
Recently developers said that a complete overhaul to the cop system as well as vehicle-to-vehicle
combat is in the works.
When it will be updated nobody knows.
Now the game has mostly positive reviews, but recent reviews are very positive with
90% of happy players.
That is a great result and I’m happy that Cyberpunk is crawling out of the dark place
finally.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Made by the same studio as Baldur’s Gate 3, this is one of the best party-based RPG
games ever created.
Here you can play as a lizard wizard or skeleton knight and the world will react to your appearance.
Or not.
If you are a skeleton you will have to hide your face under the mask, because people here
are afraid of the undead.
I wanted to say that it is ridiculous, but then I realized that the real world is full
of people who believe in ghosts and other supernatural things and are afraid of them
even if they do not exist.
And here undead can actually take a knife and slice your throat just like a casual bandit.
That’s really scary.
Also keep in mind that this is a serious game for adults.
It has dark and gloomy world and sexual content.
But don’t worry, it will keep your virginity as strong as ever because it will take about
200 hours out of your boring life and that is really amazing.
Grim Dawn
If I had to recommend only one game similar to Diablo for you I would be going out of
my mind because I know a lot of them, but the fact is that Grim Dawn is definitely among
the 10 best Action RPGs like Diablo ever created.
It is like Diablo 3 we never had.
It's way darker and gloomier than the third Diablo, but it's also harder to master.
When I played it for the first time, I had some problems understanding how to level up
my skill tree correctly and so on.
And my hero turned out quite lame.
Don't be me - watch some tutorial for beginners, you will thank yourself later.
Also keep in mind that Grim Dawn is an indie game.
Yeah it looks like a triple A kind of isometric creation made by a huge greedy company, but
it’s not.
It’s literally the first game of the studio, so because of that it is even more impressive.
Operencia: The Stolen Sun
This is a classic-styled first-person dungeon-crawler which will take you to the land of Operencia,
an unconventional fantasy world inspired by a faraway land referenced in countless Central
European folktales.
In game you will find an intriguing mix of unexplored mythology and fantastical versions
of actual historical locations and characters, all coming together to form one cohesive new
gaming universe.
Along with a strategic turn-based battle system full of spells and special skills to execute,
tile-based movement encourages you to explore each area.
You will find 13 maps here.
Game has 78% of positive reviews and that is mostly because of the difficulty - normal
here is very hard.
Last time I encountered this nonsense was while playing Jedi Fallen Order - I died a
lot even in story mode.
So I don't know if other people are so much better at games and I just suck or developers
are a bunch of madmen.
Probably both.
Anyway, if you like dungeon crawlers and challenges - this may be your potato salad.
Also you can try the free demo, that may help to make up your mind.
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.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
If you like science fiction space operas, Mass Effect is one of the best there is.
It has a great plot, many twisted turns of events, mystery on every corner, giant robots,
giant spaceships and giant space stations.
So as you can see it is filled with giant things and size does matter here.
The whole game kinda feels like someone smashed together Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and
Star Trek.
You will also find a cast of great characters as well and it has 93% of positive reviews
on Steam, meaning that game is lacking only mere 2 percent to be in the Overwhelmingly
positive reviews tier.
By buying Legendary Edition you will get all three remastered Mass Effect games with all
the DLC’s and other stuff included and remade in one huge game.
If you never played it I envy you beyond words, these are among my most favorite games of
all time.
Remnant: From the Ashes
This is a third person RPG shooter where the world has been thrown into a chaos by an ancient
evil from another dimension.
Or as one gamer on Steam pointed out - they just ripped-off a plot from Neverending Story.
That’s a shame, but in general this is a great game.
If I had to describe it in one word it would be an RPGDarkSoulsWithGuns.
Yes that is one word if you throw out the gaps.
So here as one of the last remnants of humanity, you must set out alone or alongside up to
two other survivors to face down hordes of deadly enemies, rebuild, and retake what was
lost.
The strongest side of the game is the various guns and weapons - they are really good looking
and fun to use.
Vigil: The Longest Night
This is a 2D action platformer RPG game with precise, technical combat and a strong narrative.
Inspired by Salt and Sanctuary and Castlevania, it aims to challenge you with its difficulty
while compelling with a tale of eldritch horror.
So, in other words this is an artsy Lovecraftian flat Dark Souls.
Game has a very positive review score and people on Steam are talking that the story
is great as well and this is not just another game in this genre - it is really good and
may even influence other games in the future.
People are talking that the combat is not that difficult and the game is even suitable
for newcomers of the genre.
Well, personally, I'm not so sure about that.
Be careful.
