An RPG Gamer's Guide To The Holidays - Holiday Buyer's Guide

[@EventHorizonGames]

Thank you for mentioning our game! We are still working on Dark Envoy, including some extra content that we will add in future updates. The next big update is planned for December, so you should definitely check it out! :)

[@cbake52]

I wishlisted your game back in 2020 and have greatly enjoyed it. Really appreciate the constant updates!

Loved Tower of Time, keep up the good work !

[@cr0mag732]

I bought the game and I'm finding it enjoyable

[@glharlor]

I just picked it up this week and am loving it. I hope it does well. My friend is picking it up this week as well. Fantastic job on the game!

[@shara7554]

I recommend placing a graphic on the screen with the title of the game in future holiday videos... It would make it easier to tell what is being talked about if the viewer is doing multiple things at the same time but gets interested in the game. Love the video

[@matekiddleton828]

Been playing Jagged Alliance 3 and Baldurs Gate 3 non stop since release. It's been a 20+ year wait for sequels to the previous edition to both games, and they have not disappointed.

[@ChesterRico]

JA3 surprised the hell outta me, they really pulled it off.

[@michaostrowski6316]

Can't wait for Rogue Trader. I never was a Warhammer fan, but I love some of the books and I love Owlcat games so I'm having some good feelings about this one.

[@assassindelasaucisse.4039]

It maybe is just a detail, but I love a critic who knows how to accurately categorize the works he's talking about. Makes me feel respected in my niche tastes :) I went to buy Wartales, cheers Mortis!

[@Morden97]

Glad you mentioned octopath traveler 2.. the actual biggest snub in the game awards IMO. Besides Rogue Trader, I think my pick for this christmas is gonna be either Lies of P or Remnant 2. Both look like really great games.

[@dennisdavidov782]

The Thaumaturge got pushed to February next year. Another game which was supposed to release this year (is still listed Q4 2023) is Zoria: Age of Shattering but it looks increasingly unlikely that it will actually come out before the end of the year.

[@reinierdash9020]

IT GOT PUSHED? fuck sake

[@karohemd2426]

Ah, that's a shame, I loved the demo. However, I'd rather they release a polished game later than scheduled than a buggy mess too early. AND I'll be busy with Rogue Trader for most of December, I'm guessing.

[@jameshughes1500]

Aliens Dark Descent was one of my favorite games this year (and gamers had a hell of a year!), I'm glad to see you recommending it.

[@jamiedavies3810]

I got Aliens: Dark Descent over the weekend for the PS5 and I'm having a lot of fun with it! The controls work very well from what I've seen so far, the environments look very cool! I'm looking forward to playing more!

[@rogerbabin8175]

Its a shame the Trails series hasn't caught the attention of big youtubers yet. Many of them got on board with Yakuza's long running story in recent years but Trails continues to get snubbed despite doing the same sort of thing but better (at least in my opinion). I'm currently playing through Trails to Azure for the first time and am about 90% done the game...its probably the single best entry in the entire franchise. I've yet to play Trails into Reverie and I won't be able to get to that until next year but I'm really looking forward to it as well since the Cold Steel series is my favorite arc.

[@PleasantSkulman]

There's a lot of reading and talking to NPCs to get the best experience, especially the Sky games.

[@rogerbabin8175]

@@PleasantSkulman For sure. I play them with guides by default which admittedly does not speak highly of the game design.

[@dennisdavidov782]

I've also got sucked into Trails recently and finished Zero last week and am now in CS3. These are some of the most intricately written games I've yet to play and following the story and characters has been fascinating so far. Trails through Daybreak is in the top of my 2024 wishlist now.

[@friegolit]

A problem with the early Trails games IIRC is that a lot of things change between the major story beats and if you want to see all the lore and sidequests it means that you will have to do a LOT of backtracking. Considering how many games there are in the Trails series that is a whole lot of time to be invested just to reach the “modern” games.

[@rogerbabin8175]

@@friegolit Yeah the games are definitely flawed but I feel very much the same way about Yakuza games which is why I drew the comparison with that franchise. There's absolutely a reason why these games aren't talked about along side your Final Fantasy or Tales of Arise...but that doesn't mean they need to be niche fan favorite games either. As much as I like Trails to Azure I find the game strikes a poor balance with going from zone to zone speaking to 1 or 2 NPC's and repeating that process for a very long time and combat. I think pacing is an issue in the entire franchise where a final dungeon typically involves more combat than the entirety of the first chapter of any given Trails entry. There's way more I could say as a fan but the games are ultimately greater than the sum of their parts.

[@adambbecker]

Such a great list, just in time for all the holiday sales and the Steam Deck Oled. Very impressed Mortismal with your ability to create so much great quality content, so consistently (one of my favorite channels here by far!)

[@valacarno]

I second that. 👍

[@ragvald8835]

Well done, as always! Almost have nothing to add... almost. A few more additions that are worthy to mention are - Street fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1, huge games for fighting fans, Metroid Prime remaster for the Switch, and Horizon: Forbidden West for PS5.

[@bigzachful]

Horizon is beautiful and was Amazing

[@abraxis59]

This was a terrific list! Really great selections. I have a few more of my own to add: 1. Cocoon - this is a super clever world within a world puzzle game with elegently simple controls. There are actually boss fights in the game which I think conflict with the otherwise pure puzzle feel of the game, but it is truly a special game well worth the $25 asking price 2. Chants of Sennaar - this is a puzzle and language game that is pretty unique and very interesting. The color palette for the game is a bit jarring, so play the demo or just watch a brief video to make sure it is your cup of tea, but I think it is fantastic for $20 3. Hi-Fi Rush - This for me was a serious game of the year contender as a unique rhythm based action game with amazing gameplay, easy and solid mechanics and great style. It is also well priced at $30 4. Everspace 2 - Think of it as a true spaceship story driven looter shooter. With excellent graphics, a decent story and tons of different ships equipment and guns, it is surprisingly well worth the $50 5. Age of Wonders - for the 4x fans out there (if you are not familiar, think Civilization) this one is a terrific new spin on the genre with the ability to have meta progression from game to game as well as massive customization of your starting civ. They are also adding to the game very regularly with both free and paid content. So be warned. It is a $50 game, but you can pay more like $70 for all the content that is out if there is no discount. Others worth checking out since this is getting too long: Brotato (Bullet Heaven), Immortals of Aveum (Solo FPS if you have the system to run it), Boltgun (Blaster Shooter), Wall World (Resource tower defense). As it is a good time to be a PC gamer 😀

[@natehammondtrio]

Talos Principle 2 and Viewfinder for puzzle fans, Age of Wonders 4 for 4X fans, Oxenfree2 and Slay the Princess for people whjo want a great story experience

[@jeffstewart2083]

Cocoon and Chants of Sennaar for puzzle fans too. What an amazingly overloaded year we've had!

[@kalemuteki]

Age of Wonders 4 just dropped a patch and DLC last week that vastly improved the game too. So if you were turned off at it at release, I suggest giving it a second go. I've been really enjoying it the past week.

[@tayw6466]

Hello Mortismal, I've been watching your channel since you only had like 20k subs, I just wanted to say I really think you make good videos and while I dont always catch them all, I always learn something interesting whenever I do, I am very happy you have found success and I wish you the best of luck in 2024 as well, thanks for all your hard work.

[@MortismalGaming]

Thank you!

[@coconutologist]

Disgaea 7 was the release that I had the most interest in for this. Not because I thought it would be great, but because the last one was that terrible. Thanks for the video. Onward to 300k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@Evanz111]

Awesome idea for a video! As my own contribution, for anyone who enjoyed the Recettear shopkeeping game - there’s a fantastic indie RPG called Final Profit - A Shopkeeper RPG. It’s got loads of fantastic systems and it’s really well designed and unique. Hidden gem for sure, but it still has overwhelmingly positive reviews.

[@adambbecker]

Thanks!

[@MortismalGaming]

and thank you!

[@kn0bhe4d]

Final Fantasy 16 came out this year as well, as a PS5 exclusive right now. But it may release on the PC next year as well if you want to wait for it, which I will be doing. Trails into Reverie came out this year too, and if you want to play it, you will have to play the previous Trails games to get the context and the story of it. It's a JRPG franchise, and the Trails game universe is vast and really good, so you have the Sky trilogy, the Zero and Azure duology, and the Cold Steel quadrology to play before playing Reverie. I haven't played Reverie yet, but plan to in the near future.

[@jovannicorona9804]

A man of the people. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy holidays!

[@bigzachful]

I have to complete Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Baldurs Gate 3, Pillars of Eternity 2, Lost Judgement, Trails to Azure, Trails into Reverie, Octopath Traveler 2, Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Lies of P, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, Like a Dragon Ishin, Horizon: Forbidden West and Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.. Crazy.. I completed Remnant 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon and Hogwarts Legacy this year so far..

[@varieedeventualii]

I was waiting for this! Your Holidays suggestions are the only one I take into account when it comes to RPGs 🤩

[@HiddenAdept]

One game I will mention from this year that was incredible was made by fellow Canadians, the indie game "Trepang 2". A first person shooter in the mold of the old F.E.A.R. games. Really nails the atmosphere and personality of those Monolith classics with some cool new ideas.

[@jakeryan2805]

Wow I loved Fear1, heck even 2 with its batshit crazy ending....but man they really messed up with the third game. Such a shame the series ended so terrible story wise, and gameplay. I will look up this Trepang. Never heard of it.

[@acolyte1951]

Upon clicking, I thought this video would be a meta guide about how an RPG gamer should live their life during the holidays, and plan for a gaming schedule.

[@hanssen71]

I am planing to finally finish my 175hours playthrough of Pathfinder Kingmaker. Last time played november 2022 :D At this point I just wanna be done with it. might cranck the difficulty all the way down. I got lost in the kingdom management, side quests, what actually is going on in the story in the last acts. No clue what class builds I was running. So hard to get back into after a long break. man I am so lost.

[@Crimsondeeds]

Good luck. Last time I played kingmaker was 2021. I restarted again this year and got distracted. I'm starting to think I'll never beat. Win one for me.

[@sharangcool]

Bro, u gotta play wrath of the righteous! Its 10 times better!

[@hanssen71]

I have that and already started but couldn't bring myself to play this without finishing kingmaker :D@@sharangcool

[@frooglepete]

Had this on as background noise while I work on some code, ended up firing up steam so I could wishlist everything you mentioned that I don't already have. Thumbs up!!

[@adielubbe4200]

Love this idea for a vid. Very helpful and informative 😊.

[@joshuarogue9345]

I appreciate your vids and the work you put into them, to bring us all this content man. For someone like me that has to choose/limit his games due to financial limitations, your vids are a goldmine.

[@javiernovoa8756]

Tremendous year in gaming! I'll be playing catch for a long time with everything that released. I cannot rave enough about Dave the Diver, I got all friends into it and it is so good. Played or will a lot of back half of this list. One note on Super Mario RPG, the original was fantastic and nothing I've seen of the remake makes me believe it is anything less than fantastic as well.

[@RollinRamsay]

Really glad to see aliens dark descent, truly a slept on strategy game. Overall great video with even better recommendations☝️🤓

[@bakuiel1901]

Great list Mortim. So sad about what happened with Lamplighters League, I hope Harebrained Schemes can pull through.

[@EerieV23]

Same here, I want a BattleTech Sequel

[@LORDOFDORKNESS42]

Glad to see Dark Descent get some mention. That game got overshadowed quite a bit, but it's the best Alien game I've played since Isolation.

[@MSaint]

I planned to buy BG3 during Steam Sale, but after physical edition announcement for Q1 2024 I will most likely wait for that.

[@garethdavies2093]

I know there's the steam 100% aspect to this channel, but it's probably worth mentioning when a game is on game pass. Since game pass tends to go on sale at online resellers over this period. If a game is available on that (or in this case numerous games) it's astounding value. Thanks for noting the lesser known / indie games. Many are pretty great, but are just never seen. I very much enjoyed Colony Ship and i'd never have seen it without you mentioning it.

[@ungreatfulduck750]

Disagree. People are not babies, if they are interested in a game they should be willing to take the 5 second it takes to search for the game and see which platforms are gonna be launched. We PC games never get any info, we never get announcements for platforms, it just says "PC" as if that was self-explanatory. So for every single game we have being interested, we spend a few more seconds to check if it´s in our platform, when, if there are time exclusives, specs for PC version... Why can´t console players do the same? Are they all stupid children with no attention abilities? If no, then they should be fine googling a game they are interested.

[@cirelancaster]

The problem is that games rotate out of game pass. While some games like Starfield are probably permanent, he'd have to update the video if any other games rotate out.

[@jonathanpickles2946]

@@cirelancaster It's a holiday buyer's guide for 2023 if it's on Gamepass now it's relevant. It just makes the reviewer look ill informed. & @the other guy this is supposed to be a guide. not a great one if it's missing info - just google another guide.

[@Llortnerof]

@@jonathanpickles2946 It's a holiday *buyer's* guide, exactly. So gamepass is off-topic.

[@capablanc]

​@ungreatfulduck750 if you disagree with letting people know where to find games, surely you disagree with letting people know which games to find? P.S, gamepass is on PC. Hate to have to tell you seeing as your own logic forbids telling people where to find games.

[@bigego503]

I don't usually comment this long after a video drops but feel that Dead Space Remake deserves mention. Released very early in year. First thing I've seen from EA in a very long time that I will wholeheartedly recommend. Other than this one omission great list. Good vid

[@Nedwig747]

Really enjoy this video ever year, hoping you'll do it again next year!

[@FezzYousuf]

Enjoy this while eating breakfast! As a gaming lover this video is a gem, solid line of games Mortismal. cheers

[@SageofStars]

For JRPGs, try out the remake of Star Ocean: The Second Story. It's a fantastic place to get into the series, and the remake is just great in terms of accessibility and design.

[@junk3996]

though i believe people who haven't played the original can and will enjoy this game, they may have gripes about the pixel sprites. however this game is by far the best game i've played this year. a huge fan of the original, the changes and additions put this title so immensely over the top. they completely nailed the environments and streamlining dungeons etc, its just wonderful.

[@SageofStars]

@@junk3996 Indeed, there are a few references to the first game in the plot, but they are sparse. It is a stand alone story, like most games in the series(The Fourth is questionable given it's a prequel and LOADED with call forwards to later games). So you can enjoy the second game all on its own without any big things. That QoL features are great, and they even added New Game + to the game, something I feel needs to be a standard feature in all games, especially RPG genre ones. The Sprite Graphics with 3D world looks quite nice, even lighting the sprites up in certain areas with the natural lighting.

[@AtomicBrows]

I’ve been wanting to get into star ocean for the longest time, but never knew where to start. I’d been eyeing second story, so this seals it 😤

[@SageofStars]

@@AtomicBrows The series is great at letting new players into its world, as while the series all takes place on the same timeline, WHEN they take place is sometimes hundreds of years apart, and given space is really big, like possibly bigger than Texas, the actions of the protagonists are known only in vague terms. They happened, they mattered, but save for Star Ocean 3, none of them are universe spanning sorts of things. But yeah, Star Ocean 2's remake is probably the easiest place to get into the series, thanks to all the QoL improvements, and all the little things they added. Also it is DANG pretty.

[@junk3996]

@@AtomicBrows i entered the series with star ocean second story, it was the original but still the second game from there i played the 3rd one, then the 1st one. but if you like the series and want to continue, i suggest going to the 1st then the 3rd 1st is basically just as good as 2. also very wonderful. 3rd one is great too.

[@dimi7242]

It's just such a great idea for a video! Thanks a lot for doing it :) hope you have some great holidays this year!

[@inquisitor_eisenhorn]

Finally getting Baldurs Gate 3 this holiday! So excited :)

[@Sabamonster]

What an awesome video man. I can imagine this is super helpful for people who don't play games that want to buy one for someone who does. Well done. Edit: I am a medically retired combat veteran so I literally have nothing but time on my hands to play games. I consider myself MORE than knowledgeable about most games as I more or less live on my PC but there were some titles on here I hadn't checked out. Most of which, I just picked up. Lol. So, thanks for the recommendations!

[@karohemd2426]

BG3 and Alan Wake 2 are my contenders for GOTY and while I really liked the beta I'm not sure Rogue Trader will be able to steal it. I'm definitely going to play it because I want to see where they are going to take the actual story and to see how trading and voidship combat works (I didn't play far enough into the beta for either of those to come up because I wanted to wait for the full release).

[@theheadytimetraveler3864]

​@@shanew7361Not the person that you replied to but I'll give a crack at a few of these. I would highly recommend Ghost of Tsushima, along with DLC Iki Island....Tons of a great fun, I'm 99 hours in and still have the majority of Iki Island to go, been doing absolutely everything. In regards to playstation plus, it depends on what you have or have not played....Plenty of good classics from playstation. Tons of Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games, bunch of indie games that seem great as well. Personally speaking, I would say it is worth it, especially if you haven't gamed a ton (I really haven't).

[@voyddd]

Playing cRPGs saves so much money considering how much gameplay they offer :D

[@samuel.jpg.1080p]

Great list! I personally want to add Like A Dragon games that were released this year. Ishin (the samurai spin-off) and Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name are both very enjoyable to play with different fighting styles to play, offer intriguing stories, plethora of side contents, minigames and great characters all around. Can't wait for next year's Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth! Aside from that, I really had a blast playing Bramble The Mountain King and Hifi Rush, both very different games but very unique on their own.

If I had to recommend a game for you to check out it would be Battle Brothers, it’s like $30 on steam since it’s a couple years old. It’s a tactical RPG that you can really sink some hours into

[@josquinlanglois2554]

I'm surprised you don't mention soulslike like Blasphemous and The Last Faith in your Souls section, amazing games that needs to be played.

[@shupasopni]

I just got done finally watching Edgerunners recently, so I'm very excited for Cyberpunk 2077, especially since the game was apparently very improved by 2.0 and has recently been further improved and feature completed with 2.1. After seeing the adventure of David and Maine's Crew and learning about that dystopian world I want more, much as I can get. Even with the game apparently being good now I still wouldn't have gotten interested if not for ER hooking me. Plus I want to see all the ER easter eggs and things the anime got from the game, and beat Smashers ass. Good thing I happened to be getting a Steam Deck, which apparently can play it even though my computer can't.

[@LC-pp4bb]

I cannot wait for WH40k Rogue Trader

[@karohemd2426]

I was so excited for Lamplighters League and then so disappointed with it, especially considering their track record with the Shadowrun games. I love the premise and art/design style as heroic pulp is one of my favourite genres but once you had played a few missions, it was just so samey. New enemies didn't really add anything to it. On the other hand, Miasma Chronicles did everything right, I thought. It was harder than LL but much more compelling.

[@firstMDMX]

Colony Ship was a surprise hit for me. Finished the game and was left badly craving for more. So I played it again, and finished it again. That's not something I usualy do.

[@Jerler91]

Talking about pop culture games like mario, zelda and spiderman at the end of the video; i imagine you dropping the drake nah-yeah meme. Lol

[@magecraft2]

My top 5 (I think you mentioned them all 1) Rogue Trader (this is based on playing what has been released so far but love company and subject) 2) BG3 (while I still have reservations on some of the mechanics Bunny Gate 3 was imenses fun) 3) Dredge (only caught because saw a video on it and had a blast) 4) JA3 (just a good game) 5) Alien Dark Descent (came for the Aliens stayed for the game :) ) I suspect Diablo would have made it but still prefer my Diablo single player or co-op so will be waiting until Blizzard convince me with a sale.

[@derheadbanger9039]

This year had so many phantastic games - a nightmare for my backlog!

[@ungreatfulduck750]

On a positive note, if next year there are less, you have a backlog, no?

[@RobertFromEarth]

lol yea the backlog problem! This year, I was able to get rid of my backlog. I still have a list of "games to play" but I don't buy games in advance. I used to have 5 or 6 "unplayed games" on my computer and this was annoying. Now I finished a game, I look at my list and buy the next game I feel I want to play.

[@rust_and_ruin]

I'm adding a recommendation for Cocoon. A neat indie puzzle adventure game. I haven't played them yet, but I've seen good things about "The coffin of Andy & Leyley", "Slay the princess", and "Little Goody Two Shoes". "Alien hominid invasion" also looks good. I played the demo, and it's certainly fun. Reminds me of Risk of Rain a bit. And speaking of, "Risk of Rain returns" seems to be a good remaster. It's getting good reviews. What I'm waiting for, is to finally get my hands on BG3, but I'm waiting for the Xbox release. Because my laptop can't run it. And Rogue trader, of course. There are also some cool boomer shooters and immersive sims that I'm looking forward to - Fallen aces, Peripeteia, Retrospace, Core decay, Selaco, the Ashes 2063 sequel, Zan's next game etc.

[@752shashank]

nice video bro. very helpful for RPG lovers

[@diegoangulo370]

I hope you make 1 of these this year too man

[@MortismalGaming]

Probably will, people seem to enjoy them

[@stuartmorley6894]

Sorry to double post but my other one won't let me edit it. Of all the games I've played this year my favourite is Alan Wake 2. Its a great game, beating out Resident Evil 4 remake for best survival horror game of the year. The way they've incorporated gameplay, visuals and music together is incredibly well done. I honestly love it, its one of my favourite games of the last ten years (Although there could be some recency bias in there i guess). Bear in mind i haven't played BG3 yet because I'm saving it for when i have a clear run so i can just focus on it.

You mention Cyberpunk DLC, any thoughts on Wrath of the Righteous DLC or Solasta DLC released this year?

[@MortismalGaming]

I've reviewed them individually, all pretty good stuff
