Cephalopocalypse: Please read this. I've been following you for some time now and really enjoy your content. I'm a reasonably intelligent person and it takes me forever to understand the mechanics of a game. I've been playing BG3 for going on 2K hours and STILL feel like I don't understand what I'm doing. So the reason I want you to read this is because I would love for you to do a video about how you figure out all the inner workings of a game. When I watch your Brotato vids, they feel a lot like you were part of the Development team. I mean you know stuff that I'm like, "How could he possibly know that?!?" And honestly, I'm looking for anything that doesn't require me to dedicate my life to following some online forum.
Wildermyth is not my game of the decade, but it is in my top 20 of all time, and I love seeing it get mentioned here. You have excellent taste, and I'm even happier to be a follower of yours.
Merry Christmas from the UK. Thank you for all the excellent content over the last year, keep it coming. I will definitely be picking up wildermyth based on this video! Sounds superb
You were in my top five this year on just the Baldurs gate content alone. Now that I’m looking for new games to play I was so happy seeing that you had just made a video on the topic I was looking for. Love the content man.
Really enjoyed the recommendations! I find it really cool that you're doing a different kind of video, would like to see more! (also if you keep making more videos like this i forsee some cephalopocalypse rpg tierlists incoming xD)
I F*cking love Solasta! Are you thinking of doing an in depth guide for it in preparation for Solasta 2? Also, any chance you can lend a hand with your great builds and insights for Divinity 2? It's a really difficult game! Happy Holydays to you, thanks for all that you do for us nerds!
Super interesting game recommendation, except for Solasta, Wildermyth, and Citizen Sleeper, I have never heard of these games. Both _I was a Teenage Exocolonist_ and _Troubleshooter_ really peaked my interest so thanks for putting them on my radar.
Troubleshooter is a fantastic game. I played a max difficulty settings playthrough a few years ago. Was a great time. Looking forward to their sequel that they are currently working on.
I have never gotten much out of '10 steam sale' lists, even from the greats like TotalBiscuit but somehow you've managed to make me listen intently the whole way through, so well done. I recommend Potionomics. Excellent 'comfy' game that's not comfy because it is appropriately challenging. Alchemy potion making, deckbuilder haggling, romance/friendship dating sim elements with fellow artisans and heroes gives you new cards/haggling techniques. Lovely animation work and extremely well-crafted game pace.
That looks like an amazing list! It's rare to see a video like this where I don't already know the games mentioned. You are already responsible for a lot of hours on BG3 playing your builds, and me trying out Brotato, I'm sure I'll discover something great with these. Game recommendation: Noita (You mentioned being interested in original takes on roguelikes, Noita is insanely deep, with a very unique weapon-crafting system) If you ever play it, please stream it or make a youtube video about it I would love to see your take on it. Happy holidays!
As a fan of many of the games on this list, I would like to strongly recommend Tactical Breach Wizards. It's a focused little tactics game with an awesome aesthetic and gameplay that never failed to be novel and interesting. Super worth a playthrough or two.
Awesome video! Thanks for the recommendations. I really enjoy this style of video. Anybody familiar with Streets of Rogue? It's kind of like Brotato crossed with an immersive Sim. Very fun and the sequel comes out soon. Also, everyone should play the all the Owlcat RPGs. Happy holidays!
Solasta, you convinced me to try. Having bought it, ok on discount, it was very dissappointing that the first page of character creation/generation offered a great choice but most of the characters were only available via DLCs. That felt wrong. Either let me choose anything or simply don't present it to me. So far I am through the tutorial sections, I have the crown, and I expect to have a TPK at any moment. If/when I do, I doubt that there will be enough to convince me to try again. None of the others really speak to me. But thanks for the suggestions. Have a great holiday season.
have you heard of the hit game, amongus? also i do like this style of video. can you tell i'm typing this while i watch the video? Merry Christmas, bud
Wildermyth is fantastic, as well as "I was a teenage exocolonist". Vagrus I personally found a bit slow, and for some reason the performance during combat was kinda terrible, maybe that was patched. The atmosphere and setting was very interesting, and not a bad game by any stretch.

Thanks for all the great videos!
Thank you bro you are goated
Thank you so much for recommending Wildermyth! I love it so much. The stories it tells are incredible and the lore is so unique.

this was really informative, thank you. I look forward to any more recommendation videos you might make.
You're a good curator, I am going to look further at 8 of these games and buy at least a few. Thank you for making the video.
Yippee! good video, many of these went on my wishlist for when i have money

I forgot about how much I loved Solasta's combat.
Game was too jank for me. When I was playing it, I could only think, "I'd rather just be playing baldurs gate right now"
Great Video. I was looking at Griflands and now I'll give it a shot.
Solasta is amazing and I'd love to see build videos for it, it has a lot of cool subclasses that aren't in BG3
I don't know if you're just a great salesman but these all sound awesome and I can't wait to check them out.
That looks like an amazing list!

Good list of not very well known games. Too many videos on UA-cam with lists that are very well known games. Keep these coming 👍
Awesome video! Really appreciate it.

Bro ceph i already spent around $70 on games for the steam and gog winter sale i cant keep buying more😭
Even in bankrupcy, I still serve Lord Gaben
I think you might enjoy Thea: The Awakening and Thea 2: The Shattering :)
Mordheim is $2 and I have countless hours in that one
this video would be 100 times more interesting with full screen gameplay showing while you talk ;)

Sigh-I really wish I didn’t suck so much at strategy games! I love the _idea_ of them, but as they’ve gotten more complicated, I’ve been left behind.
