This guy is dangerous. Hellboy, Mage Knight, Galaxy Defenders, Deliverance: all mine, now. The passion and comprehension for games that he has is very contagious and appealing.
I am glad to see Nemo's war in your list, not only do I love the game, but it is also a game that got me back into solo gaming and made me push my bounderies more. Beforehand, I had some solo games, which I played once a while. And the games had relative low complexity aswell as I was scared that I would not get more complex games. Nemo's war did change that though. And a big thanks to you, I remember seeing Nemo's war online at first and thinking it did sound pretty neat, but I was not really yet sold. But then I watched your playthrough where you were playing the adventure motive, and then I was sold and got myself the ultimate edition as soon as I got the chance. I hope to see a playthrough of one of the new motive's. I like the World Order motive. You score relative low for everything but new allied tokens & you score for 2 tonnage track rows make it a fun twist!
Fallout! I wasn’t expecting to see that one. I love Fallout and find myself thinking about it a lot while playing other exploring focused games. It’s underrated I think, and sometimes it feels like I’m one of ten folks who like it. Probably a good time to pick it up now if anyone is interested before it is forever out of reach for a reasonable price like Runebound.
Gears of War.. well, I did NOT get it for cheap, sadly, so you can imagine my nervousness at playing the game for the first time, hoping to all hopes that it wouldn't disappoint. And it didn't. Love, love, LOVE this game! It's my favorite skirmish combat board game. I'm a fan of the IP, but the game is just SO good on its own! I also have mission pack 1, and a bunch of fan made content (extra characters, extra scenarios, a campaign, etc). So there is a lot of variety there, just not the official kind. But still, what a great game.
@@OneStopCoopShop Just noticed this! Anything by Fernando Wilbert is great; I particularly liked The Ransom. Also, the extra characters add some nice variety, and I think they're pretty balanced overall; some are a bit stronger, some are a bit weaker, but the variety they bring is very nice. One of my favorites is Sam whose special ability is that she can throw grenades as a guard; it can completely transform how you approach a group of enemies.
Gears of War: Interesting that you still love this one that much! Having played Zombicide: Undead or Alive, I would say that, space being limited, it replaced it for me. Concordia: I love this game as well. Just played it this Wednesday with my gaming group. So good. Fallout: I am very surprised you like it. As you may remember, I was pumped for it and sorely disappointed by that base game. I will have to look at those expansions... Kingdom Rush: it looks fun! I somewhat did not dwell too much on this one when it came out, but I also used to play the app.
Hi Timothee! Yeah GoW I think the cards as health and the line of sight makes it a superior game to Zombicide for me. Fallout is great as long as you have the expansion and Kingdom Rush is still one of my favorites! I painted the entire game I liked it so much!
I am also a fan of Gears of War and have the fan made expansion for it, which was professionally printed so fits in perfectly with the rest of the game. And my collection has this and Fireteam Zero in the forever collection.
Thanks for the list Collin. Love all you guys but your videos are spoken slow and measured which for me makes a better listening experience then the fast talking by the other guys. I have so many games but was sad to see that I have none of the games on this list.....It kinda shocked me. Still with your passion about these games I may try some out. Thanks for all you do.
A few of mine here, but only Gears of War would I call a forever game. Some of the others, I haven't played enough (fallout, Arkham). I'll never understand the love for Nemo's War. I do keep wondering about Dice Throne Adventures.
Hey Colin - thanks for another great list. Quick Q: Why do you prefer Star Wars Rebellion over LOTR - War over Middle Earth. To my knowledge they are the same game but another theme (+ diff cards) no? Does Star Wars have a better solo mode? Or is the vs. Bairnt that tipped this one over and the other one not?
GREAT point! So the unofficial solo modes are much easier to handle in Star Wars rebellion that is the biggest reason. War of the Ring I have yet to get one that I tried and liked so that is why it is not on this list yet since this is a co-op or solo list!
Great list, so happy to see DTA make the cut. I'm curious if you think Uprising has a chance to make the next list that will include 2021 games. I am waiting on my copy but I have really enjoyed watching your channel's content for that one.
Thank you Ben!! I need to get Uprising back out the only part for me on that game was the snowball effect. I need to give it another go and I'll let you know! I did back the expansion as I love the designers.
Oooooozing enthusiasm. More Colin, please. Kingdom Rush is tempting, though is it too difficult? You are a games master. How will us ordinary folk cope with this game?
Haha! I have my top 2022 games coming out next week. I did not feel like kingdom rush was too hard actually felt it was on the easier side? Better playing 2 player than solo that's for sure. Thanks so much for watching!!
I really like 2 player. 3 player is still good but 4 player you have a very limited amount of towers I found it to be the least fun. Still good though!
Great stuff as usual Colin! After getting back into Marvel Champions, now I'm torn between Arkham Horror, LOTR LCG or Marvel Champions. I'm feeling like I want to go "all in" on one of these but am on the fence with which one. As someone who has played all three way more than I, any advice? (And yes I know I'm a bit late to the party so if you don't catch this comment I completely understand!) :)
Hi Clay!! Thanks so much for watching! So the hard part with these 3 LCG's is trying to decide what you are looking for in a game. If you want story, Arkham is the winner, if you want deck building LOTR is the winner, if you want new stuff and superheroes Marvel is the winner! So any 3 could be the winner! :) For me LOTR and Arkham is where I landed. Felt Marvel was a little too procedural for me.
@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for the reply Colin! Yeah, I think Arkham is where I'm headed too. I love how close you feel to your investigators and how battered they become throughout the campaign. :)😃
The game is great just on the long side. I love the unique factions. Just wish in coop I had more ways to help my fellow players! But it's a high recommend from me for solo and 2 player!!
Thanks Colin. I love seeing what’s on your lists as someone who’s just started getting into the solo experience. You mentioned Fallout feels similar to Runebound. Which one do you like better?
@@OneStopCoopShop Nice. Runebound has been on my wishlist but hard to get and expensive to buy from somewhere like Nobel Knight as I live in New Zealand - postage is about the same price as the base game! 😫
I wish someone would do something with the Gears of War system or just reskin it. Fallout is my story/adventure game and I don't even care for the IP. Sold off my Arkham Horror card game stuff years back and went all in on Champions but I'm now deciding whether to get back into Arkham or LoTR which I also sold off a while ago even though it was easily my most played game at the time, I'm dumb.
Love the video and the passion! I can’t find gears of war anywhere for less than $200 near me 😔 Looking at Fireteam Zero as an alternative - Colin can you recommend the key expansions needed to make it play best? Lots of options!
Thanks for watching! Sorry about how expensive GoW is. . . For Fireteam Zero the expansions I would recommend are the ones with more scenarios: Fireteam Zero: Europe Cycle and Fireteam Zero: Africa Cycle! you should be set for awhile after that!
@@OneStopCoopShop thanks so much! Really appreciate the help and please keep up the amazing work. You guys have helped me fall in love with the hobby ❤️🙂
I thought the best line of sight handling in a game was in Heroscape? 😅 You simply position yourself behind a miniature and check if they see their potential target.
