Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Iron Danger
This is a tactical combat game with a very cool time manipulation mechanic that blends
the tactical depth of turn-based games with the action of real-time strategy.
Here you will be in control of two characters and will use a variety of skills and your IQ
to overcome the challenges. I'm not gonna lie, I tried the game and my brain was overheating.
The core of Iron Danger is its unique time control
mechanic. You can rewind time for up to 5 seconds whenever you want,
trying different strategies and combinations of moves until you find the right one for the task.
Although be warned that battles feel a bit clunky, and that is
because that time rewinding sometimes feels endless. You dodge one attack,
then you are hit by another, so you rewind time and do something different,
but then you are hit by a third attack, so you rewind again and again and again.
Your characters can only take two or three hits at max before they die,
so you will be rewinding all the time. In general, you can't really die here
if you choose to. That is a curse and a blessing in one.
Anyway, this price is the right one for this game. 4 Euros - that's what I'm happy to pay.
You will find all the links to the games in the description below.
Control - Ultimate Edition
This version contains the main game and all
previously released Expansions in one great value package.
A corruptive presence has invaded the Federal Bureau of Control…(and)
Only you have the power to stop it. The world around you is now your weapon in
an epic fight to annihilate an ominous enemy through deep and unpredictable environments.
The plot is quite simple:
Containment has failed, humanity is at stake, so it's time to kick some paranormal ass.
SCP vibes are really strong here. To be fair, this game feels like you are in a dream all the time.
Well, nightmare to be exact, because everything is changing all the time, but this time
you are in control. Yeah, pun intended. The game is not scary, but it’s ominous, that’s for sure.
Even if you eventually get bored by this title,
I can promise you that it will entertain you with maximum strength for at least 3 hours.
That's if you don't like the game. If you like it, prepare to sink in another 20.
Apsulov: End of Gods
In this future viking horror you awake in a sanctuary of steel and concrete, built to research
and exploit the worlds of Yggdrasil, and to house an artifact, buried in the earth eons ago.
Your task is to unveil the secrets of the mythology, the artifacts,
and the realms of Yggdrasil. People are talking that the Apsulov has wonderful gameplay elements,
progression and mechanics. Game has no jump scares,
so if you are afraid of these just grow a pair, but in the meantime keep calm and play the game.
It is very short though, it will burn about 5 hours of your boring life.
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Here you will take control of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo,
in a journey through the darkest hours of Europe’s history.
Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats,
kids struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. Dead rotten bodies lay everywhere and
rats... those creatures can and will eat anyone alive who does not carry a light source.
This is what makes this game a low key fantasy - you know,
rats are no vampires, I used to own one, it loved bathing in the sunrays.
Although keep in mind that the atmosphere in this game is grim
and dark so if you are a sensitive person it may prove a challenge to play it.
White Shadows
This is a cinematic puzzle-platformer where you play as a little Ravengirl
trying to escape a brutal dystopia founded on oppression and violence that puts you
at the bottom of the social ladder. Reminds me of nowadays Russia.
The city composed of a vast network of towers rising from the void of post-apocalyptic
darkness is a dangerous place. Not as dangerous as your ex-mother in law,
but still you have to be very careful and not to become a victim of vicious machinery,
leap across rickety infrastructure and avoid the watchful eyes of guards ready to gun you down.
Game is pure art, a really well made Limbo clone, to be fair, but it has some cons as well.
The platforming part is kinda clunky. And this is a platformer. Also the game is really short.
But this is why we buy games on a sale - now the price is right, check this game out.
Othercide
This turn based game takes you on a journey to a
world that has yielded to the pressure of evil forces from another dimension.
During the game, you take control of the heroines known as Daughters,
who face the invaders no matter what price they have to pay. Game has an incredible
art style and that distinguishes it from many other similar games.
Also Othercide implements permadeath mechanics,
which means that after the death of the protagonists,
they cannot be resurrected. I played this game and I can confirm - everything I had just died.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision
quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.
Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade:
Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind. And that mind is a
crazy one so the game is pure mindfuck. You will never know what is reality and what is not.
The one fact that you will know for sure is that this is a beautiful game - graphics are almost
photorealistic so if you are a sucker for an eye candy, this game definitely delivers that.
Also I have read several reviews written by people who never played games of such
genre - everyone was really hesitant to try, because Senua’s Sacrifice is
not something you play every day, but most of the people who took a step
out of their gaming comfort zone found out that this game is really cool and told the others.
Think about that if you are struggling to try.
SteamWorld Dig 2
Game takes you on a mining adventure forged in Metroidvania flames. When an old trading
town is struck by mysterious earthquakes, it’s up to you - a lone steambot and your unlikely
companion to uncover what trembling terrors lies beneath. And you know what you uncover
deep below? Your fat mama. Oh come on, no, it’s a secret you have to discover it by yourself.
So you will dig your way underground and explore vivid worlds riddled with treasure,
secrets and deadly traps.
Fight dangerous enemies at every turn of the underworld,
including shadowy creatures and the haunted remains of an ancient
electrical threat. Well, this game is obviously story-rich and that is awesome.
AER Memories of Old
Art again! As one of the last few shapeshifters, you are sent on a pilgrimage to the Land
of Gods. And you will have to uncover the secrets that will help save reality itself.
So here you will fly around and explore surroundings by transforming into a bird
at will. Yeah, it would be a shitty game if your power would be to transform into a snail,
turtle or dildo. Huge open world along with mysteries,
puzzles and amazing places to visit await you here.
People are talking that this is a very entertaining game which doesn't guide you by hand.
So there are a few negative comments stating that it was hard to understand where you
are supposed to go. So if you are easily confused, keep that in mind. Also the game
is very short - 3 hours - it's probably all it will take from your borning life.
But at the same time it's a great game for those
who often play new games and never finish anything. That's your chance.
Tomb Raider GOTY
The game is in the 80th place among the best rated Steam games of all time. Yeah,
I was surprised as well. But now on Steam it costs way more than on GOG where you can get the main
game with all the additional content only for 4 euros. I'm not gonna lie, that feels like a steal.
So it is fair to say that this is the best Tomb Raider game ever released and if you
were thinking about playing a game from this franchise,
but couldn't decide where to start - there is your answer. Start here and now.
But before you get too excited and buy it, check your Epic library, because Epic was giving it for
free some time ago and you may already have it. If not you will find a GOG link in the description.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice
On Steam this wonderful real time tactics has 90% of positive reviews,
but on Steam it also costs 20 Euros right now, so GOG delivers once again. The game
is a standalone expansion of the Shadow Tactics franchise, meaning that you are not required to
have the main game to play it and that Aiko's Choice is a full game with no strings attached.
It is set in Japan around the early Edo period, Aiko's Choice is a stealth strategy where the
main protagonist is a master of camouflage and distracts enemies disguised as a Geisha.
But it's not the only character you will be able to control. An agile ninja,
mighty samurai, young thief, wise marksman and perverted penis doctor
joins your cause as well. Well, maybe not the latter, but you never know ;)
Game has three difficulty levels. But as I see them, they are hard, nightmare and impossible.
And I wish they just added two more - easy and for pussies so I could enjoy this game as well.
Don't laugh, it's really hard. That's what he said.
So, you will find all the games in the description below and if you buy any of them or any other game
using my links anytime I will get a small amount as well so you will support my channel this way.
The commission is only a few cents from a purchase, I'm not getting rich from this,
but if I manage to buy 1 additional vodka bottle every year, that is a win for me.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I'll see you next time, bye!
