Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Scorn
The game was just recently released and now look at it - a discount already.
You probably heard that Scorn is not as good as it was expected to be, but that is mostly
because they advertised it as a horror first person shooter.
It is not.
Well, it is definitely a horror game - Scorn has a lot of gore in it, but it is actually
a puzzle game with a huge amount of point-and-click elements.
Because basically works like that - you have to find things you have no idea even exist.
So you have to, you know, “click” around.
I can assure you that at one point you will be wandering inside the huge building carrying
a severed hand with you, without any idea where to go next and what to do with it.
And some puzzles you’ll encounter are really hard.
It will take a lot of your brainpower to solve them.
And most of the time you will get no clues.
So sometimes the biggest puzzle will be to understand if this object you are seeing is
a part of the puzzle or it is just an object without any purpose.
Yeah, things are that bad here.
Scorn is a niche project, meant for people who like horror puzzle games.
Yeah the window is that narrow.
Despite that I can honestly say that Scorn has the best graphics I have ever seen anywhere.
The whole game is a work of art.
Art-wise it is absolutely 11 cold beers out of 10, but as a whole game I would say it
is worth only 6 or 7 warm beers.
So maybe you want to wait for a bigger discount.
Risk of Rain 2
Everyone who played Risk of Rain two can agree on one thing - it plays way better than it
looks, meaning that everything you are seeing now to you looks like a graphic gibberish
of some sort, but if you take control of the hero - everything changes immediately.
The game has 96% of positive reviews left by hundreds of thousands of players who bought
the game.
You can't argue with that.
So here you will fight your way to the final boss and escape or continue your run indefinitely
to see just how long you can survive.
A unique scaling system means that both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power
over the course of the game.
People on Steam are talking that Risk of Rain 2 is a bit unfriendly for new players - it
will take time for you to adapt, so be prepared for that, it won't guide you by your hand
or penis.
Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
Title includes improved graphics, new achievements and all the DLCs from the original game.
Here you can experience the campaign or compete in online multiplayer battles.
It is a surprisingly solid traditional base-building RTS.
Game has 91% of positive review score on Steam.
It’s hard to ignore this number - it may not be a masterpiece, but it's definitely
one of the best RTS games out there.
The downside is that almost nobody is playing online anymore - you have to have a friend
to test your might in PVP matches.
Or, you know, a mother-in-law.
Also I have to stress out that the game is oriented for those who know what Halo is,
but the knowledge is not necessary to play.
Killer Instinct
This fighter game has very positive reviews on Steam, so maybe that will keep your attention
even if you don’t like games like these.
Some people even rank Killer Instinct above Street Fighter V, because it offers almost
lagless multiplayer mode, smooth gameplay and diverse roster of different fighters.
Game is easy to learn, but hard to master, meaning that you will feel comfortable from
the beginning, but if you encounter a mighty sensei of this game - you’ll be crushed.
Along with your dignity.
Nevertheless, the game will give you the feeling that you’re the ultimate combat god and
not some puny peasant.
So, as always - if you have friends - beat them without any regret, they deserve your
mercyful fists of fury and then after that you can beat them in this game as well.
Rise of Nations: Extended Edition
Here you can choose from 18 different civilizations and guide them through 8 different stages
of world's history.
People in the Steam comments are saying that this is a masterpiece, best game ever, greatest
RTS in the world, blah blah and so on.
But all of those people are about 40 years old and they have nostalgia, because they
played the original release some 20 years ago.
Well, I’m among those people, so my opinion is biased as well.
Although back then I hated that automatic spawning of workers who automatically looked
for a task to perform.
I think this is a terrible idea, because it is neglecting the micro management part of
the game.
What's next?
Maybe warriors can spawn too and buildings can be built by themselves.
Why do you even need a player when you can just sit and watch the game playing itself,
right?
It’s almost the same if you watch some guy eating your own potato salad instead of eating
it yourself.
Anyway, Rise of Nations is a great title, I do recommend it without a doubt.
Because I’m old.
Hero's Hour
Exploring the world and developing your town and army are both turn-based, giving you time
to think and plan out your next moves, but in battles your units will do the best and
fight for themselves in real time - all hundreds of them.
And you can cast spells and give attack orders to swing the tide of battle - or just sit
back and watch as your might unfolds.
That is a really cool concept, something fresh in the world of games similar to Heroes of
Might and Magic.
Although I’m not saying that this concept is perfect.
You know some things are good as they are, you don’t need to mess with them.
For example potato salad.
If you add pineapples or, you know, even vodka to it it may look cool, but please don’t
do that.
People on Steam are saying that procedural generation in this game is great and last
patches greatly improved the performance, but the game can be really difficult and prove
to be a challenge for a casual player.
Gears Tactics
The game easily stands in one line with X-COM titles in a sense of quality and provided
entertainment.
Great graphics, cinematics and really interesting encounters had me pinned on my chair for hours
and hours.
Usually when I install turn-based games I get bored really quickly either because the
game seems too simple, too boring or it’s just too hard.
But for me Gears Tactics is in the perfect Goldilocks zone in terms of difficulty and
fun, and it kept my interest alive for hours.
I can assure you that the quality of this game is as high as possible but I have to
stress out that I’m a casual player, I don’t like very difficult games, so if you are a
true professional of turn-based titles, it may not be for you.
But on the other hand, I could even recommend this game for people who have never played
any turn-based games.
Gears Tactics may become a gateway drug for you.
You know, like potato salad can become a gateway to the world of other salads.
Oh yeah, I know a lot of recipes.
Will definitely share them on my adventures channel one day.
Anyway, for me this game rocks and rolls and is great in general like the best doctor’s
sausage in the juiciest potato salad.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
This iconic release includes six games, built for PC and collected in a single integrated
experience.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or meeting Spartans for the first time, The Master Chief
Collection is the place for you to start or to continue your Halo gaming experience.
People on Steam are affirming that this is the best way to play Halo nowadays.
If you want the best quality Halo experience play this version over Halo Infinite.
The latter is free but as for now it has a bit too many problems.
Although updates are constant and it may become a serious game after all in the future.
Like you can still become an outstanding penis doctor if you try your best.
Well, probably not, but don’t lose your hope.
So The Master Chief collection will give you the best experience possible.
The games are action-infused but the franchise also has a large storyline and are among the
best story-heavy FPS games ever released.
Control Ultimate Edition
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
across the deep and unpredictable environments.
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 and not for good.
The game is not scary, but it’s ominous, that’s for sure.
People on Steam are saying that the story here is very good, the game itself is out
of the ordinary and it has some really cool puzzles to solve.
So a bit of everything for everyone.
And if you liked this video - there is another filled with games that are discounted on Steam
this week.
Click on it, don’t hesitate.
Also subscribe.
That’s a law.
And you don’t want to go to jail, so better do as I say.
Thank you for watching and I’ll see you next time, bye!
