Hi, my name is ColdBeer and this time I’ve made you a list of a Classic RPG games similar
to Baldur’s Gate that are on Steam Winter Sale right now.
Let’s start with a
Tower of Time
This is a story-rich dungeon crawler with innovative real-time combat that lets you
pause or slow time.
And here you have to turn on your brain if you want to succeed.
And I mean it – every battle is specially designed to be a tactical puzzle, so it might
be a bit challenging.
Or impossible, depends on your IQ I guess.
Also because of that, the game is really suitable for fans of this genre and not so friendly
for new players.
Tower of Time will burn about 50 hours of your boring lifetime as you enjoy hand-crafted
levels and interesting story.
Here you will also find thousands of pieces of loot and equipment.
I was trying to find some bad reviews of the game, so I could share not only good things,
but also what’s wrong, but most of those were ridiculous.
Look at this one.
Dude is ranting that the game gave him weaker sword than some random streamer he watched
got so he called the game garbage and posted a negative review.
Dude, man up, because this is the pussyest review I have ever seen.
You have serious problems, way more serious than some weak sword you got.
I’m not a doctor, but if I was your penis doctor for example I could clearly say that
your pp lacks some balls.
And I mean your mental pp, not the real one, because you can be a girl or any other gender
trending these days.
Anyway, judging from other reviews, the game is really entertaining and cuts all the crap
other games include to artificially lengthen the game.
So, this might be the unexpected game of your choice.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
One of the best RPG games ever created.
Overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam can confirm that with an ease.
And people in the comment section are openly saying that this may be the best game they
have ever played in general.
Well, to be fair, you can find comments like that under almost any better game, so take
it with a grain of salt.
If you have a friend, you can play co-op mode, but since you don’t have one, your mother
in law can do just fine.
Give her gifts such as gold, daggers, shields and potions of love, so she would always stand
by your side when you have an argument with your wife.
Make your life better through gaming.
Divinity has dark and gloomy world and sexual content where you can have accidental sex
with a skeleton or not so accidental if you have some crazy fetishes.
I don’t judge.
The best thing is, that the world is massive: when you, after 60 hours of playtime realize
that the Act 1 you just finished is only a tutorial, you gonna be amazed.
Game will take you about 200 hours from start to finish.
So it’s really worth your money.
Tyranny
This is a classic-styled RPG with a new original story, shaped and molded by your actions.
The very layout of the world will be altered by your decisions as you choose sides, make
allies and enemies, and fight for your own vision of law and order in an immersive and
reactive story.
Game looks beautiful, but that’s understandable because it’s quite new.
And reviews on Steam are very positive: you have to scroll hard to find any bad ones.
As people say, this game plays just as Baldur’s Gate, Although keep in mind, that Tyranny
is more dialogue and not combat oriented.
Of course you will kick some ass from time to time, but the main thing will be reading
and talking.
Be sure that you like that kind of stuff.
And one more thing: the player here is not a random villager who rises to power, but
a powerful officer with considerable resources and authority.
Use that power to enforce the new status quo or try to make change from the inside.
Literally this is a more realistic approach, way different than typical “Hey simple peasant
whose family was killed by the almighty Dark lord and his unbeatable legion of demons,
you have to learn how to fight, slay them all and cut the balls of dark lord himself
to resurrect your loved ones.”
Sadly this scenario is so common in many games and Tyranny tries to rise above that.
Pillars of Eternity
In a classic RPG world Pillars of Eternity is like an alcohol in vodka – it’s the
main ingredient of this genre, so if you never tried to play this one, there is no excuse
for you to continue this ignorance.
Game came to life after an unbelievably successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign which raised
more than 4 million dollars!
In example if you save 1000 dollars per month, you have to do that for more than 300 years
to get 4 million dollars.
That is a huge amount of time.
Not as huge as your mama though.
Game’s story takes place in Eora, where a strange and scary phenomenon known as the
hollowborn, meaning someone who’s born without a soul, plagues the land.
As I always say, scariest thing is, that not only ginger people don't have a soul, you
know, like in real life, but people with any hair color.
And even bald people can get this disease.
Yeah, that is no joke.
Also, if you like this game, keep in mind that Pillars of Eternity 2 is also discounted
right now - by choosing to play the first part you are almost instantly doomed to play
the second as well, because the game is great and also is a proud owner of very positive
reviews on Steam.
Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition
This classic game has been updated with a 4k interface and a remastered soundtrack.
So it was reborn again with a new beautiful face.
A thing most of us will never have.
But don’t let the pretty paint job fool you: this is still a story-rich tactical RPG
with a massive world that will rock your socks off!
Although not as massive as your mama.
Geez those will never get old.
World of Planescape: Torment is filled with interesting creatures, devils and other strange
beings.
Game features 5000 pages of dialogs, so there is way less combat and a lot more exploring
and reading.
Listen to that again: 5000 thousand pages.
Of dialogs.
People who created it had a serious writing problem.
Just like I do.
You know how many pages of text this video is?
It’s... five.
Still a lot, when was the last time you wrote five pages of anything huh?
Anyway, I even know several guys who prefer Planescape: Torment over Baldur’s Gate and
I can see why.
But I also have a friend who likes to eat potato salad with pineapple in it.
Yeah...
I obviously need new friends.
Solasta: Crown of the Magister
Here you take control of four heroes, each with unique skills that complement one another.
Every hero expresses themselves in the adventure, making each action and dialog choice a dynamic
part of the story.
You will create your heroes just as you would in a pen-and-paper game choosing your race,
class and personality.
And like in a ​ pen-and-paper game, here dice is the god.
Roll 1 for critical failure, roll 20 for critical hit.
And we all know that you will roll 1 way more often than 20.
It’s called “balance” instead of bad luck.
Have you played early access of Baldur's Gate 3?
There you miss almost 2 shots out of 3 and still somehow win the battle.
Solasta is in Early Access right now, so It should be full of bugs and glitches, but surprisingly
reviews are very positive and it’s hard to find a bad comment.
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Game is a modern isometric RPG released in 2016 and it takes a lot of elements from Planescape
Torment.
I have to say that the game is inspired by this classic game, but Tides of Numenera doesn’t
share the lore of the Planescape: Torment.
Instead it shares the composer Mark Morgan, a dude who created music not only for Planescape
Torment but also for Fallout 1 and 2, so here you will hear about 50 different music tracks
made by him.
In Tides of Numenera most encounters can be settled with a bit of conversation instead
of fighting.
So, prepare for walls of text again.
Game consists of 90 percent reading and 10 percent of… everything else.
And that is great, because it is really fun to create and live your own book of adventures.
That is if you like books.
I like boobs, not books.
Yes, this hobby is more superior, I must sincerely give you that.
Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition
Made with the same Infinity engine as a classic Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale is a more battle-oriented
game.
Here you will find less side quests and less story, but you will enjoy an amazing atmosphere,
because the game is really detailed: every animation and sound effect is really nailing
it.
Game is well known for it’s beautiful landscapes and eye catching colors.
Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition has very positive reviews on Steam, and even bad ones are somehow...
not legit.
In example there is one man complaining about multiplayer not working properly.
Do any of you play Icewind Dale for multiplayer?
Ok, maybe you do.
I’m not judging you or whatever.
You may also like potato salad with pineapples, strawberries with mayonnaise, vodka with coca
cola, well done steak or even zirga galva, which is a traditional Latvian dish made of
horse head.
Don’t ask me why I know this.
You may be weird, but I still love you.
Please subscribe.
Avadon 3: The Warborn
This is not the prettiest member of this RPG family, just like you are not the prettiest
member of yours.
Avadon 3 is a huge, old-school, indie fantasy role-playing adventure, where you are a Hand
of Avadon, warrior and spy, judge and executioner, pizza baker and stay at home mom.
Ok maybe not the last two, but although your titles are limited you have unlimited power
to fight the enemies of your homeland.
Your word is Law.
However, your lands have been invaded.
Barbarians and monsters are raping and pillaging through your home, and you are the only one
who has a way to stop them.
Here you can choose from five different character classes, each with dozens of unique spells
and abilities.
Explore dungeons, hunt for hundreds of magical artifacts, and pass judgment on your enemies
or just people you don’t like, just like you don’t like that asshole coworker of
yours and wish he was dead.
That’s cute.
Avadon also features many different endings.
Will you save your people or betray them?
Follow orders or claw for more power?
All this is for you to decide.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
Hundreds of kingdoms have risen and fallen in these lands, and now it is time for you
to make your mark, and not by painting a pp with balls on some walls, but by building
your own kingdom!
Yes, the task is not for some random weakling.
Though, I should mention that players are complaining about loading screens.
There are a lot of them, so if you are not a patient one, you should consider reading
the comments before buying.
Also the second part of the game called Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous will be released in
June of 2021.
This time 35 thousand backers pledged more than 2 million dollars, so the game will be
even bigger and better than its predecessor.
Well, we all hope that it will, it may also suck as well.
You can’t be hyped on any games anymore.
Thanks to Blizzard and CDPR.
That’s it, this is the end of this video where you subscribe to my awesome channel
or I will go and paint a small pp on your doors with even smaller balls.
You don’t want your neighbors to know.
So subscribe now and paint a giant pp by yourself.
Have a nice day and I’ll see you next time.
Bye.
