Partisans 1941 is the newest game from the developer Alter Games and publisher Daedalic Entertainment. It was released on Steam on Oct 14, 2020. This videos were recorded on Launch day and as of writing this on Oct 16th, it has received "Very Positive" reviews on Steam.
The events of Partisans 1941 take place behind the German lines on the Eastern Front during WW2. The game utilizes a real time combat system with a "bullet time" slow down rather than a full pause. The developers call this a "tatical pause." Partisans is a small unit tactics game with heavy stealth elements. It also includes some base building and resource management and crafting in between the combat missions. Partisans 1941 uses a top down, 3/4 view with a free moving camera.
I am Mellowseven and I'd like to welcome you to a Shadowrun Returns Let's Play! Hairbrained Scheme's Shadowrun Returns is a great RPG set in the Shadowrun universe. It uses the XCom turn based combat system and is infinitely moddable. This first story will be played primarily as a vanilla play through but we will be adding some mods as we continue and ultimately we will be playing player created adventures!

With patch 6 out I was advised that I needed to revisit Baldur's Gate and try out a wild magic sorcerer. And so we are back. I am not intending on this being a full play through of the available early access content but I would like to play through a bit farther than I have in the past. Expect it to be a thing for a bit anyway. :)
Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios is an early access CRPG based on the fully licensed Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition rule-set and setting. Baldur's Gate has turn based combat and party mechanics. In my opinion Larian has reached the pinnacle of technical success with this offering. The dice roll mechanics are second to none and the verticality of movement in combat is simply amazing. However, while they have given us a finally crafted story it falls a little short of the mark when it comes to enjoyment for me, as I really dislike pretty much every party member available. They went for dark and gritty and decided that every character needed to be an anti-hero. I think they overshot their mark and just made every character miserable to play. I have hopes that as I get farther into the game, party options will open up and I will have more choice. Failing that, I hope for some sort of unrealistic character development that will transform the existing characters into somebody I don't hate. :) We'll see. So far I have been loving the game in it's current state on this play-through, despite the party members.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a CRPG based on the Pathfinder pen and paper franchise. Pathfinder itself, is essentially a fork of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The CRPG had real-time with pause combat at launch. Recently a mod came out that converted the game to turn-based. Despite the fact that players have been asking for turn-based combat since before the game launched the developers ignored their customer base right up until the mod came out and was very popular. (imagine that) It single handedly restored interest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The developers decided they really wanted to get credit for this new interest in the game and so they finally caved and added turn-based combat into Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The patch adding this content is still in Beta and so there may be some bugs. The game launched about 2 years ago and despite being finished is still very much unpolished. The developers are still actively bug squashing but they are paying the price for a complete lack of any thing even resembling quality control before the launch. I've played many early access games with better fit and finish than Pathfinder has two years after launch. (Banners of Ruin is one such that I played and posted a video on just a couple of days before this series went up.) So expect bugs.
Pathfinder does support modding. We will not be using any mods on this save as I feel that the beta branch we are playing on is risky enough for recording purposes. We will be playing the Varnhold's Lot storyline mission which was added in as DLC and can tie into the main storyline campaign if you so wish. The basic premise is that we are part of a mercenary company that took the Swordlords up on their offer and carved out one of the three Baronies they were offering to support. Our primary character is an advisor to the Baron rather than the Baron himself. As such we have less control over the path of the story but hopefully don't have to deal with any of the realm control mechanics of the game (which i hated at launch but have subsequently been updated. i haven't had the energy to try them since then however.)

Football Manager 2019 | 1FC Kaiserslautern : From the Ashes - Episode 15 | Mellowseven Let's Play
1FC Kaiserslautern is on the brink of dissolving. Rising expenses incurred with a stadium renovation for the World Cup have made it increasingly difficult for the team to compete. According to Forbes magazine if the team misses out on promotion to the 2nd league of German football this year they might fold. We managed to achieve that promotion and are now in Fussball Liga 2. The money is better and dissolution is not imminent but for the teams immediate future to be assured we need to work our way back up to the Bundesliga.
