Five Of My Favorite Classic Games

[@cpnrackham]

Mortym is the KING of KZbin content rn. Mad respect to you man, we all really appreciate all your hard work

Facts

[@Onelegbutitsok]

Man I hope the algorithm picks up your channel. You’re incredibly consistent in quality and upload time, and your commentary is precise and informative! One of my favorite channels right now!

[@dt5690]

Not cringe at all. In a sea of "gaming journalists" who don't give many rats' asses about the games they test, having someone like Mortym playing the games to 100% and offering an objective view encompassing all of the the pros and cons of the game is a blessing! I also hope he gets picked up by algorithm. Keep up the good work Mortym!

[@chovymasters7577]

For real, Mortem doesn't miss. Even games I actively dislike I will watch his videos for a take lol

[@Onelegbutitsok]

@@jarredlucas4000 NOOOOOOOOOO NOT CRINGE NOOOOOOO ANYTHING BUT THAT NOOOO

[@MortismalGaming]

Tripled since last August, on track to be quadrupled YoY

[@the_uggh]

I love that I can play BG1 on my phone. It's wild how different things are now. I remember being jealous of people who COULD play BG1 when it came out because I couldn't afford a computer but now I have it in my pocket

[@Swatyo]

How well does it run on android ? Are the controls easy to go through or is the touchscreen interface clunky ?

[@GeoGyf]

@@Swatyo It should be easy if you run a simple enough party, for example 3-4 fighters, a cleric and a wizard. And you prebuff before the fight, just roaming the map. BG1 has mostly low level enemies plus you can fiddle with easy difficulty settings.

[@theunhappygamer1744]

Yeah the first time I played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 was on my phone.

[@ashwinnmyburgh9364]

That is actually insane.

[@hubert9841]

​@@quint3ssent1a there is kotor 2 avaliable olso and you can even install restored xontent mod

[@AmShaedar]

I'm so happy Arcanum made it to this list. It's one of my favorite games ever! The world is just so full of potential and is begging for a remaster, a remake or just a new entry. You should definitely give it a try and play "Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor" which is a Forgotten Realms DND game released in 2001 by Ubisoft and "Sacrifice" released in 2000 by Shiny and Interplay Entertainment. Especially Sacrifice is such a hidden gem.

[@DARKTHORNE1]

Ive been dreaming of an Arcanum remaster for as long as i can remember, that game made me an RPG lover

[@fafnyr2537]

Tried the pool of radiance, and while not bad is definetly not great either the third edition ruleset is too much simplified, and charater creation is quite limited as well.

[@caubert]

some of my favorite classics. Jagged Alliance 1 & 2 (especially. two), Star Control 2, The Longest Journey series

[@kbar4462]

So happy to see Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines in your list!! It's one of my all time favorites, as well. Have so many fond memories playing it throughout the years

[@adamu.2674]

Bloodlines is an absolute classic. It has some great mods too, some of which add entirely new content using assets that were never quite finished, such as joining the Sabbat. One restores an entire act that was cut from the game, it's pretty solid and adds several extra hours of content.

[@hubert9841]

​@@adamu.2674 Oh yeah. East LA was very good. I loved that malkavian priest character.

[@victorsernache7337]

Wow! Your list is the same as mine! All great games. The fact that 2 out of 3 Troika games are in this list shows how good they really were.

[@magecraft2]

And the third makes mine as well (TOEE) Troika should be in the dictionary as the definition of a flawed classic (supported by dedicated player base) :)

[@kos_]

BG1 is a game from my childhood thats only gotten better the more I play it. Nothing will beat the first time, but after every extra playthrough I find more ways to enjoy it. With different small paths to take, and deciding what party composition to take, it just feels really good. Still need to play some multiplayer though, as I've only ever tried that out once years ago.

[@HansAlRachid]

Fantastic choices all around. Aside from Divine Divinity - which I never played back in the day - I still replay these games every couple years. Gothic 2 in particular was one of the most formative games of my childhood, what a masterpiece that title is.

[@FlotFyr13]

Man, seeing Baldurs Gate on this list really takes me back to when I was a kid juggling all the CD's for that game. And wanting to play a mage but always getting absolutely slaugthered by the gibberlings at the very beginning. Talk about a steep learning curve! :D

[@tesselesk8]

Makes me so happy to see you put gothic 2 in that list, because I had the same experience. I played gothic 2 like 2 years ago, and it became one of my top games of my life.

[@TheBoringInvestorMan]

Some absolute classics here, really nice to see Arcanum on it as it's one of my favourite RPG's and one of the biggest reasons why I love the Steam Punk genre so much plus the way the magic vs mechanic balancing was done was pretty cool and unique.

[@trassage]

Archolos. Ever since you started familiarizing yourself with the world of Gothic people have been asking you to try out Archolos. So I will throw my voice into that choir. There is a simple but very enjoyable game: Dungeon Siege 2. And I've never played Neverwinter nights but as far as I know, it's a classic, too. If I could see your review of it, that would be amazing :) Thank you for your work, Mort!

[@Orpheeus97]

I recently played Divinity Original Sin for the very first time, I was watching KZbin videos about the game because those games are kinda heavy to me (I come from FPS game don't judge me lol) and the YT algorithm recommended me the video about your review to DoS. I'm in love with your content now, I work remotely and I'm always watching all of your videos, you got me into all of this classics games that I really want to play now, keep it up with the amazing content that you create, you for sure deserve more recognition. Wish you the best of luck!

[@grey_wulf]

Hi Mortym! You have some of my favs on your list: Arcanum, Gothic 2, and VtM: Bloodlines. This video is overflowing with blissful nostalgia for me.

[@fragilemetal1982]

Baldur's Gate is approaching closer to 25 years now. I was in my teens when I first played it and in my forties now. Still remember my first playthrough though.

[@Aarynor]

Great list, always good to see Arcanum get the love it deserves. A few of my personal all time favorites are the Elder Scrolls games. Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim all have a special place in my heart

[@maximusroyalstar9084]

Nice too see Divine Divinity on you'r list.I'm proud to say i was one of the beta testers of the game.Larian studio's was like 10 miles from my previous home in Oudenaarde (Belgium) I also tested Divinity II :Ego draconis on the X360.Very proud to see Larian Studio's in the top tier list of best RPG creators in the world.Greets from belgium ;-) I also like you'r channel and looking forward for new content.Keep up the good work.

[@hansmeier8953]

Great List, I never could get into Gothic and of course everyone knows about Baldurs Gate. But VtM Bloodlines, Arcanum and Divine Divinity are some truly great games that are not that well known and people should try!

[@deputyswine]

Whenever I see a video regarding your favorite games I can almost always garuntee baldurs gate is going to be on it! Glad to see a classic getting the appreciation it deserves in the modern age!

[@themikep82]

Man, I would have LOVED Divine Divinity back in the day. Diablo 2 and Baldurs Gate are some of my all time favorites. It's just hard to get into old games nowadays though.

[@911Gargoyle]

Divine Divinity and Baldur's gate were amazing. Still need to play Baldur's gate 2, Icewind dale 1 & 2 and planescape tournament. But I will, some day.

[@zaccanasta-r3l]

My favorite classic games are Gothic, Age of empires 2, Diablo 2, Heroes of might and magic 3, Half life, Worms: Armageddon, Shogo and Septerra core.

[@coconutologist]

It's always nice to re-examine the classics, especially if their influence can still be felt. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@Alamar1]

Arcanum is still one of my all-time favorite games of any platform. I and many others have been waiting for a second installment for years. The ball is in your court Obsidian.

[@ebenkleinhans4474]

Bloodlines was awesome. still very playable (with community mods/patches). The first RPG I can remember that I loved was The Summoning, released in 1992. Veil of Darkness released a year later was also great. My favorite classic RPG is Wizardry 8 however, and Sir-Tech's TBS Jagged Alliance 2 still being my favorite game to date. System Shock and System Shock 2 along with the original Deus Ex would be my pick for classic RPG/FPS titles. Along with Strife and Cybermage... The one old D&D game that I wish one could still acquire and actually play would be Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance!

[@Tiavals]

For my own favorite classics, I'm quite fond of Dark Sun 1 and 2. They're less roleplayish than the ones on your list though, so might not be your cup of tea. Then there's Ultima 5 Lazarus, a fantastic fan version of Ultima 5 done with the(nowadays very dated) Dungeon Siege engine. One of the best RPGs I've ever played. HOWEVER! You MUST be a fan of the Ultima series and know who the characters are for it to make any sense, otherwise it'll probably be far less interesting since it's very heavy on the in-setting stuff.

[@waltblackadar4690]

The Ultima series doesn't get much love anymore though they were groundbreakingly awesome in their day. U4 is considered the classic but for my money U7 The Black Gate was the pinnacle of the series. Mort should try to play U7 - man, was that game tough in so many ways that players now don't even imagine.

[@MilenioOscuroGames]

Except VtM, played and finished all of them! Great video by the way!!

[@Mornin.Coffee]

It's been 20 years since first Vampire playthrough and just finished another run, this time as malkavian. It's crazy how they had it so right and how it wasn't replicated to this day. Now off to playing arcanum for the -nth time, and still you can find new ways to build character. Cheers

[@mattmoylan4226]

Been loving this channel and your content I love that you don’t have any dumb gimmicky stuff with your voice or anything, and all the info is always presented so nicely! For content, not sure it’s an easy one to get ahold of and play, but I remember equally enjoying and having no idea what was going on in Ultimate VIII

[@SirCanuckelhead]

Ngl, there are some channels with content that I want but can’t listen to them. Overly hyped, saying ok guys every other word as if there is something super brilliant about to come out of their mouths just to beat around the bush some more. So painful.

[@Apokryph]

Great list of must play games! As to which other games I would consider a true classic and which I often revisit: Among them is Severance: Blade of Darkness from 2001. A game which in retrospect shares some similarities with Dark Souls. While combat could be clunky at times, it's atmosphere, level design and story telling was superb. The shadows were years ahead of their time. There is a remaster these days and it's even available on the switch. Give it a try!

[@ERHershman1]

The Baldur's Gate series will always be extremely special to me, as they were the first games I bought with "my own money" as a kid, and played obsessively. On BG1 versus BG2: I think I still would say BG2 is better overall simply because of the more expansive interactions with your companions over BG1, which are pretty much the defining point of the series for me. However, I recently worked my way through Baldur's Gate 3's early access version, and I'm coming to appreciate the virtues of lower-level gameplay and combat in D&D--having to manage your limited spells and resources in combat situation, and do a lot with a little, as opposed to the high-level play of BG2, where you can fling fireballs and rays of whatever until the cows come home. Anyway, I'm just about to revisit BG1 and BG2 for the millionth time, while I wait for the full release of BG3 in August. A great video as always, Mortym.

[@rubyismycatman7335]

Amazing im 55 years old and you just listed 5 of my favourite games of all time

[@Notsram77]

Man... this video brings back so many memories. First of all, Arcanum is a game I've always flirted with, but never finished. I always encounter issues that prevent me from completing it. Also, I've always wanted to finish Sacred 2, which is just a massive ridiculous ARPG. I need to figure out how to get Sacred 2 working consistently on Windows 10 and actually get through it.

[@Llortnerof]

I think i played through that once. The world size is utterly insane for an ARPG. So easy to just get completely lost, and the map isn't really helping.

[@BrianBrown-vd1vv]

Besides the obvious Baldur's Gate, I still fondly remember my time with Mechwarrior Mercenaries 2, Tie Fighter, Age of Empires 2, and Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Ronin Hood. Honorable mentions to Rebel Assault and King's Quest 5.

[@filnisius2153]

Absolute awesome list. Glad to see Divine Divinity on it. That game is a gem!

[@enoch1524]

What are the odds!? I started BG1 just yesterday and I am LOVING it so far. I’m ashamed that it’s taken me this long.

[@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968]

I've not played the Enhanced Edition but I am very familiar with the original and I play that using BGTutu with a lot of mods and tweaks. I think ultimately I'd prefer it to the Enhanced Edition.

[@derColt]

Really loved Vampire The Masquerade Redemption back then. I think one of my first RPGs i finished when i was younger.

[@Kobercules]

New to cRPGs. Tried pathfinder wrath of the righteous and it was too confusing but I WANTED to learn it. Fast forward a month I’ve been playing Baldurs Gate 1 non stop learning how dice rolls and things work and it’s a whole new world. I hop back and forth and PWotR makes more sense now, just a bit more. I’ve entered this crazy rabbit hole, I even dreamed of fighting in dice rolls last night, so I’m taking a break 😂 but Thank you Mortismal for what you do, can’t wait to go back and watch all your videos of these amazing gems. Hidden Gems to me anyway.

[@UncleSev]

Congrats on the PC 😎🍹I build a new PC last year. Played a few new games on it. But mostly, I play a lot of older games that I can play with good performance now. Nothing like doing a revist of the old Steam library 😁

[@RadleyB00]

@MortismalGaming Based on the games you like, I'm 99% sure you would love Archolos. It brings back the feeling of Gothic, but improves upon it in several areas while constantly surprising by original gameplay elements

[@Corehaven22]

I think a game a lot of you might like is Dungeons and Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun on Sega Genesis, which can still be played on any Genesis emulator. I just discovered it recently and tried it. What an awesome little DnD game.

[@gahowell1]

Excellent video! I really like all of your videos, you have a style that is well polished and enjoyable to watch. Crusader No Remorse and No Regret are great games, would be great to put together a comparison between them :) Using the Numpad for control is a must in my humble opinion. They both run on the same game engine as Ultima VIII. Sanitarium is also another well made game that seems to be a beloved classic. Cheers from BC Canada.

[@direwolf8608]

Gothic 2 was my first rpg experience. Will always have special place in my heart. Same for Baldurs gate 1

[@adamu.2674]

Mortym, and all those interested in playing Baldur's Gate 1, I cannot recommend highly enough trying the Neverwinter Nights 2 mod: Baldur's Gate Reloaded. It's a faithful recreation by a bunch of die hard fans of the original, all played within a semi-modern cRPG that has a more familiar UI & controls similar to other modern games of the style. The folks behind it have been working on Baldur's Gate 2 reloaded for the last several years, and it's due out this spring. Which means you can play BG 1 & 2 Reloaded and then hop strait into Baldur's Gate 3 in the fall. :D

[@MSaint]

Way back from my Amiga times I remember playing such rpgs as Dungeon Master, Ishar 2, Eye of the Beholder. I always wanted to get to the classics like Might and Magic III, Ultima series or Wizardry series, but could not get them then. Not all are easily available for modern systems fortunately.

[@NeverduskX]

Congrats on the new computer! It's always nice to see some appreciation for good narrative games.

[@ArniesTech]

Here's mine: Gothic 1-3 Risen 1 Morrowind Oblivion WoW 3.3.5a Caesar III Stronghold 1, Crusader, 2 AoE 2 Diablo II LoD Always come back to those. ❤

[@unclemestor]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who put together a brand new PC and sits down to play 25 year old games with it.

[@maachdichfott]

Gothic 2 Was my first ever RPG. I was 14 years old and it blew my mind. ❤

[@Art0r1a]

I recently played through BG1, but this video makes me wanna play the other ones on this list as well.

[@MikoajPagan]

Hey Mortym! Maybe it was mentioned somewhere, but as you listed Gothic 2, I highly recommend mod called "The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos". It's totally new game with original storyline, voiceovers and added mechanics that uses gothic's engine as a base.

[@sarahohara5806]

Some of the classics I enjoy are Jagged Alliance 2, which to me is the best turn based tactics game, much more memorable and interesting than X-Com to me. Especially with the fan-made 1.13 patch that adds a whole lot of content and makes the whole experience highly customizable if you aren't afraid of diving into the ini file. S2 Silent Storm is another turn based tactics game. This one is in 3D though. And set in a fictional version of the 2nd World War. A lot of jank in this one. But some aspects have not been matched. Like the destructible environment. You can blow up a wall and every single brick can be seen tumbling away. Hugely impressive.

[@Heffalord]

2:58 greatest videogame soundtrack of all time, love Arcanum

[@tomemaster1744]

Arcanum, Divine Divinity and Baldur’s Gate are some of my absolute favourite games. I have yet to play Vampire: The Masquerade but I only ever hear positive things. Oh Mortym what’s the ARPG in the beginning? Is that Diablo? The UI has thrown me.

[@MortismalGaming]

Divine Divinity

[@MrXairaz]

Not sure if it can be defined as a classic game, since it's not that old. But I really love dragon age origins. I just love the world and lore, it really keeps me invested.

[@cmdr.jabozerstorer3968]

I've been playing it a lot recently. I never completed a Human Noble origin back in the day (only Dwarf Noble) so I've been getting through it slowly. I just finished The Fade yesterday.

[@galotta8475]

My Five Favorite Classics: - The Dark Eye: Star Trail - Planescape: Torment - Baldur`s Gate I - Ultima VII - The Curse of Monkey Island

[@BogdanYoji]

Gothic 2 and Gothic 3 my favourites,i played and finished this games like 30 times

[@Mentatskillz]

Bloodlines was and is amazing. I'd like to hope we see something like it again, but I'm not so sure.

[@armelior4610]

Solid picks. I love ego draconis (more than DOS2) but never played the first divinity game, and I prefer BG2 to the first but both are great. Is Dragon age origins too "recent" to be considered a classic ? I think it's still the best spiritual successor but maybe that will change soon... Arcanum I'd put in the same category as Torment : great world and story but almost everything else is even worse (UI, combat, balance, loot...). A remake of this game would be so great but the rights are probably in the same place as the final boss of the game now :D The world of darkness is my favorite setting period after playing so many tabletop sessions, and Bloodlines is a great adaptation - and I don't even like grimdark and modern settings in games in general

[@ElevatedLiving111]

Love the review!

[@andrewfernandez684]

You should do a video ranking all the piranhabytes games next to each other! Would love to see that.

[@bakuiel1901]

That is an excellent list Mortem, tell you if anything I love could make it onto your playlist I would say anything from the Wizardry, especially 6-8, or Might and Magic series, especially 6-8. Just realized it's the same numbered entries in both series that I think are best.

[@FesterSilently]

I have always stanned Baldur's Gate 1 *over* Baldur's Gate 2 - despite the many, MANY things that 2 improved upon - if for no other reason than that Baldur's Gate 2 was the first (PC video) game in memory that TOOK AWAY the living, breathing bits of the world *in-between* the main quests and locations...to its detriment. I was 2023-years-old when I first heard someone describe Baldur's Gate 1 as their "first open-world game"...and I cannot disagree - that is the best description I can think of.

[@michaelblosenhauer9887]

I'm a hobbyist\amateur game designer and I am working on a diceless ttrpg system that I one day want to make into an infinity engine style crpg. The setting is going to be Victorian era steampunk magic, of course. I don't exactly plan on having magic and tech fully diametrically opposed, though. I also think it would be great to have the elves, with their high intelligence, be the ones to develope technology. And, dwarfs be the one that stay traditionally magical.

[@Fredericco1]

Good choices. For me all these games have two common things. World and atmosphere.They are not perfect, have their issues, but they can build atmosphere like no other games. And all those worlds are so alive and great. Modern games have countless things to do, beautiful graphic, 100+ hours of gameplay, but just watching daily life of minor NPC in Gothic is so much for me.

[@ThomasPaine01]

Hooked on Classics... 💯

[@yxolloxy3273]

VtM: bloodlines is such a masterpiece; it's such a dang shame it was rushed and had terrible launch bugs

[@Bogrin]

Man I loved Arcanum!! What a great game

[@sonmi2246]

Baldur's Gate and VTMB on the list? My kind of man My list: -Baldur's Gate 2 -VTMB -Planescape Torment -KOTOR: The Sith Lords (I'm going with the second one if I had to pick between them, but both of them are masterpieces imo) -Fallout 2 (clearly I'm a big fan of Chris Avellone's writing; Fallout NV is in my general top games of all time)

[@JemyM]

Considering my age when I feel mortismal's "classic games" list equals "modern games". :D I started out with Ultima I and Pools of Radiance but did not get deep into it until Eye of the Beholder on the Amiga. In 94-95 many AAA companies and magazines declared the CRPG genre to be dead and outdated and it was considered dead until Baldur's Gate revived them in 1998. Daggerfall and Diablo being exceptions to the rule. Since November I have primarily played CRPG's from the late 80'ies or early 90'ies on DOS or the Amiga.

[@ItchofCuriosity]

i loved the story of game videos u made please make more

[@hiroshi6421]

You produce videos faster than I can count

[@KingScottKing]

I’m shocked you didn’t mention Planetscape Torment cause you always mention it!

[@arabgamingtv1261]

I played all of these games and I agree with this list ❤

[@paganhorde4463]

Planescape Torment. It too suffers from 2nd edition clunkyness, but its story has never been matched

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

Since Diablo 4 is on the horizon I'd definitely mention Diablo and Diablo 2. I remember going through Diablo in one sitting. It took its toll but it was worth it. Then Diablo 2 came out and its expansion and that was just a whole new level. Such a great game.

[@Mindinvasion]

Albion (1995) from Blue Byte, I feel its really a shame it seems to be so overlooked, I might be bit biased as I was a child playing it, but the story, the world and races were to me and I think still are, outstanding. You can download it for free these days and all you need is DosBox to set it up, really encourage everyone who is in to older rpgs to give it a look :)!

[@Swatyo]

Man games like arcanum are ones that i really want a remaster for, i never got to play them as a kid and i don't know how well they run on modern systems.

[@dreadpirate677]

Going WAY back, I played several of the Ultima, Bard's Tale, and Might and Magic series. Some of my other favorites include Fallout 2 (the best of the isometric Fallout games), and the Temple of Elemental Evil, mostly because I was disappointed that Neverwinter Nights from the year prior wasn't a party-based RPG like the Black Isle games.

[@tivtag]

I‘d add Thief 1 and 2 to this great list :-)

[@LauDanielS]

Awww yeah... Troika represent!

[@wizardwhohasmorempthanhp]

Morty now a Gothic 2 chad. Good to see

[@mikesays08]

Baldur’s Gate 1&2, Diablo 2, Warlords III: Darklords Rising and slightly older but Warcraft III

[@pmgrodrigues]

Amazing list. Personally, i would put Morrowind there and take out Bloodlines, Arcanum, or Divine Divinity to make space for it, but a great lest nonetheless.

[@0Gumpy0]

My number 1 gaming wish would also be some sort of spiritual successor or sequel to Arcanum. Such a cool game that I wish was more mechanically sound. I'm still praying that inXile is secretly working on that right now

[@frankh6051]

If you like Gothic 2 that much you should play Chronicles Of Myrtana. 10/10 Mod.

[@theshadowcult]

I was waiting for temple of elemental evil to show up. go for that troika trifactor :D

[@Jasta85]

@Mortismal Gaming, Have you played the original Deus Ex game? I think it would be right up your ally. Ridiculous amounts of systems in such an old game, I was finding new things in it even after multiple playthroughs.

[@sjoerddondersteen1337]

Ah the good ol' days of Gothic II: Night of the Raven, the nostalgia (for simpler times).

[@rpmfla]

I agree that Baldur's Gate is a great classic game. I just replayed it and then BG2 (I have trouble deciding which of my Steam Queue games to play next so I'm just going in chronological order now). Since I prefer playing as a magic user, I'd say I enjoyed BG2 more since magic is so underpowered in BG1. I do think they really should be played back to back as to me they comprise one very long game. I played Throne of Bhaal back when these all originally were released, but this time after playing BG1&2 back to back I was a bit burned out and while I started ToB I couldn't stick with it. It just seemed like the grand story came to a good ending in BG2 and I didn't need ToB. I will likely continue it eventually.

[@vladimirpesic2463]

This list made up for you not liking Fallout. :D But seriously, apart from Fallout, these are my favorite video games from the late 90's, early 00's. Fantastic selection!

[@Shimamon27]

I suddenly realize the only RPG I really return to and have a full fun time with, is bloodlines. It's probably the game I replayed the most, and I still find myself having fun in it. While there are RPG's I know I love, I ask myself more lately - which ones do I actually want to replay? Hardly any of them, sadly... Allot of them are 1 time experiences for me, mostly because the mechanics are tedious, the narrative is a 1 time ticket... Once I know it, I have little to add by replaying it... And most of what I do there feels like labor work now.

[@CrimRui]

How much you mention these games in other reviews or top tens, it was kinda obvious what will you chose. Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines and Divine Divinity is among my favorites as well, and would return to them ever so often. Aside from that, Baldur's Gate II, Sacred, Diablo and Revenant are some of others which are dear to me.

[@Twistafan]

Love your list. I would argue that BG2 is a bit better than BG1 as its higher level and more epic, bigger bosses, bigger baddies etc. Divine divinity unfortunetly never dragged me in and it is such a chore to get into it now. But 100% agree with your comments on Arcanum and Gothic 2.

[@carlisborgon]

It would be very interesting to see Mortym cover Stardew Valley. It's one of thebest games of all time for me despite being a mainly action/RPG player, it would be interesting to see what his take would be on it.

[@matthiasbreuer8710]

Replaying Baldur's Gate 1 right now on Steam Deck, such a classic, and I too prefer it over BG2. Just love the low-to-mid level grounded atmosphere and open-ended exploration, not to mention preferring the Sword Coast as a setting. Also looking forward to Siege of Dragonspear and early BG2, but honestly dreading Throne of Bhaal and unenthusiastic about late BG2...

[@asturias0267]

I knew VtM:B would be on here :3

[@musguera]

You are doing reviews in a very fast way, you already played I think almost everything I know from my youth (from here I would have to search my brain for SNES era lost in my head). I will dare say two games you didn't play, but I don't even know if it is worth the effort: VtM Redemption and Dink Smallwood.

[@MortismalGaming]

I've played redemption, I just havent covered it on the channel

[@FretboardToAsh]

I am generally not too interested in list -videos, and for most channels this one would be quite futile. But in your case two years means roughly a literal hundred games played, which makes it actually worth checking out, both for the games and the actual opinion having been forged through experience.
