Hi, my name is ColdBeer and let’s start with
Astroneer
Game is set during the 25th century Intergalactic Age of Discovery, where Astroneers explore
the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives in harsh environments to unearth rare
discoveries and unlock the mysteries of the universe itself.
In this space sandbox adventure you can work together with other players to build custom
bases above or below the ground, create vehicles to explore a vast solar system, and use terrain
to create anything you can imagine.
So basically you are invading beautiful planets with beautiful nature and making an industrial
hell out of them.
Yeah, screw nature, the galaxy is full of it.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Very positive reviews on Steam won’t let me lie - this western is one of the most entertaining
games I have ever played.
The game is expensive even with a discount, but boy oh boy it is good.
Well, except those moments when you encounter a bear, then you just die.
You know, like in any other game - bears are the worst.
So here you are an outlaw on the run.
With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on your heels, you and
your gang must rob, steal and fight your way across the rugged heartland of America in
order to survive.
Game is serious, but it doesn’t take itself seriously - it’s full of really funny unexpected
events and situations.
On the other hand - the story is serious and some of your actions have serious consequences.
Main story will take about 50 hours from your boring life and all the online content can
take ten times more.
You know, those are the same creators as of GTA games, they know how to pin your attention
for a long time, so be sure you have it.
Shadow Warrior 2
Become a tornado of steel and blood with razor sharp katana, short swords, crescent blades,
and hand claws or unleash a hellish symphony of firearms to dismantle your enemies to pieces.
As I always say -If I had one word to describe this game it would be... deliciouspotatosalad.
Because deliciouspotatosalad is great and so is this game.
It’s worth all your money even without a discount.
People on Steam are talking that Shadow Warrior is just another Doom game, except here instead
of Doom Guy you are a crazy Ninja Gunslinger.
The Third part of the game was also released recently, but it has 40% of negative reviews
on Steam.
That is sad.
So let us stick with the second part and make some chaos in there.
Inscryption
This is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room
style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-infused smoothie.
Darker still are the secrets inscribed upon the cards...
Here you will acquire a deck of woodland creature cards by draft, surgery, and self mutilation,
unlock the secrets lurking behind the walls of Leshy's cabin and embark on an unexpected
and deeply disturbing odyssey.
So don't play this game with your six year old daughter or something.
Anyway, overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam are well deserved, this game is a real
gem.
And it's absolutely single-player, you won't find any shaddy card collecting, money scuking
mechanics here.
Also if you are in doubt you can play the free demo version.
Medium
Concept is simple - here you have the physical world and the spirit world, and you have to
interact in both of those.
You will use your psychic abilities to solve puzzles spanning both worlds, uncover deeply
disturbing secrets, and survive encounters with The Maw - a monster born from an unspeakable
tragedy.
Sounds grim and a bit scary.
Also the whole concept reminds me of a Silent Hill, although in there you weren't in control
of world switching.
In a matter of fact no sane person would ever go to that other world of Silent Hill by choice.
The world of Medium has been invented and designed under the inspiration of Zdzisław
Beksiński’s paintings.
He was a Polish dystopian surrealist with a sad life story.
He obviously wasn't a fan of airy fairy unicorn rainbows, but rather he saw a grim mirror
of our reality and reflected his imagination on his disturbing, but very cool paintings.
Foundation
This is a grid-less medieval city-building game with a focus on organic development,
monument construction and resource management.
As the newly appointed ruler of a land still untouched and full of potential, you are given
the opportunity to create a prosperous medieval settlement as you envision it.
Managing your resources and growing population, whilst being challenged by narrative events,
quests and missions, from across the kingdom.
From very modest beginnings, build rudimentary workplaces, extract and store resources, establish
trade routes, erect majestic monuments and a sprawling city may emerge in your new found
lands!
But, let’s be honest, you will probably fail and...
instead you’ll create the ultimate world of doom, suffering and despair.
Those tiny artificial humans have no idea what grim fate awaits them with you behind
the steering wheel of the kingdom.
Dawn of Man
This is a nice city building game where you control some ancient people, hunt mighty mammoths,
gather various herbs and build stonehenges.
Immediately after the release the game received many negative reviews: people were talking
that the game is limited and its content is scarce.
But developers were quick to react and after a few updates the situation was totally different.
They added more buildings, more mechanics and even made a 300 person population possible.
Now the reviews are very positive!
Dawn of Man also has great AI.
No, not as great as a Skynet, why do you even think of that?
Although we never know what simple AI is plotting against us.
The biggest flaw of the game, in my opinion, is the game's color palette - super boring
greenish-brownish tones everywhere can be really hard to the eye.
And the game itself is focused on survival and not war, so it can be a bit boring for
people who like to wage battles.
Of course, there are war elements, you have to defend your settlements from various raider
scum, but that’s almost it.
Vaporum
This is a grid-based, single-player & single-character dungeon crawler RPG set in an original steampunk
setting.
Game is obviously inspired by old-school games like Dungeon Master, The Eye of the Beholder
series, and the most recent Legend of Grimrock.
Stranded in the middle of an ocean, in front of a gigantic tower, you have to find out
what the place is, what happened there, and most importantly, who you are and where that
secret vodka stash is.
Game looks beautiful, so if you are into dungeon crawlers keep in mind
that this one has very positive reviews on Steam and is a true gem for your collection.
Rock Simulator
Here you can become what you have always wanted - a rock with no problems, no debt, no health
problems, no worries.
Here you will level up to explore the great landscapes created by mother nature with zero
responsibilities and nothing else but the wind blowing by your hard rocky surface.
Listen to the relaxing sound nature has to offer in many different landscapes while earning
enough stones to unlock your favorite rock skins!
Start your adventure in the Plains while earning enough experience to unlock many more maps
by doing what a rock does best... just exist!
Also the game has an intense online co-op play mode implemented so you could play this
exciting game together with your friends and have tons of pure fun.
93% of the reviews are positive - that is also huge.
Anyway, this game may not be a gem you were looking for, but it for sure is a nice polished
rock.
One of the best games of 2019.
You have my sincere recommendations.
Jotun: Valhalla Edition
This is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology.
Here you play as Thora, a Viking warrior who died in inglorious death and must prove herself
to the Gods to enter Valhalla.
Aside from the boss battles, the game revolves around exploration and puzzle solving, with
a few enemies to fight.
It isn’t very surprising that puzzles often are solved by using ax swings to interact
with the objects.
People on Steam are talking that this is a beautiful and deceptively difficult game and
the art and music lull you into a false sense of security and comfort.
Just like your mother in law does.
This is a really nice game, especially for this price.
And now don’t forget to check out GOG weekly sale as well!
You will find the link in the description below.
All GOG games are DRM free and they also support refunds for up to 30 days.
Way better and gamer friendly place than Steam is.
Thank you for watching, have a nice day and I’ll see you next time, bye!
