Pretty Guardian Gaming is a welcoming space where we can talk about everything related to gaming and nerd culture. I make lots of reviews, lists, and more based on the content that I am working my way through. I primarily play on PC but am no stranger to Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or my Android phone. In the future I plan on doing some more collaborative videos with other content creators, and continue pushing myself to make new kinds of videos and keep growing this channel. Feel free to reach out if you have any feedback or are interested in working together!
Right now, I am playing New World: Rise of the Angry Earth and My Time at Sandrock. After that, I'm keeping my eye on Star Ocean Second Story R and Starfield when it goes on sale.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Vs Baldurs Gate 3
After beating Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, I wanted to take a beat to compare and contrast it against the award winning Baldur's Gate 3. From gameplay to story and cinematics, we're going to dive into both games and declare a favorite. #baldursgate3 #pathfinder #larianstudios #owlcatgames

5 Upcoming Cozy Games You Won't Want to Miss
I played all the way through BG3 one time, it was a lot of fun. I played through Wrath of the righteous three times and have about 15 or so partial play throughs and I just started another one and I continue to love it every time I play it and will continue playing it for a very long time, can you tell which game I prefer?
These games are more for people who have patience and are into good lore. TikTok people and ones with low attention span will find them boring of course.
I'm sure you yourself probably already know because you said you played multiple times but for anyone watching the video that might be on the fence of which game to play, the combat in WotR can be switched to turn based mode if they want where you'll have the order of peoples turns at the top of the screen just like BG3. Basically my opinion on which game someone should go for falls like this: Pick WotR if: You want seemingly endless customization options for your characters If you tend to suffer from Too Good to Use Syndrome with your abilities (you tend to get a lot more charges for your spells and stuff than you would in BG) You're either fine missing out on some things OR you're willing to use a guide to help you with a walk through (Owlcat likes putting puzzles with clues somewhere on the map but nothing to point you to why that would be the clue (ex. 6 rooms before the room you're currently in there are 4 paintings on one wall which colours will determine which switches you need to click in which order). This can make it feel even more rewarding when you figure out the puzzle but can also just lead to you not being able to figure it out because you don't know what's pointing you to the solution) You want to play a Kitsune Pick BG3 If: You want a more cinematic experience (graphics are a lot better, more dialogue, ect) You want to play WITH friends (WotR is only single player) You want to make it feel like the story is evolving around your choices (you do get this in WotR too but I just feel the depth of the differences is far more in BG3) You want to play a Druid* (WotR DLC kind of fixes this with the Shifter class it seems but base game Druid in WotR is pretty lackluster compared to the other classes xD)
Good feedback to add, thank you for sharing!
agree with what u said about handcrafted combat encounters, just started wotr after playing bg3 twice and bg3 does this so much better
Personally, I think both games could take cues from Pillars of Eternity and the original BG series when it comes to environmental design. Areas like Athkatla or Neketaka have the feeling of being real places. Owlcat's games have a distinctly gamey feeling to their environments and Larian has detailed environments, but they also feel a bit gamey. By gamey, in mean contrived for gameplay purposes, as opposed to feeling natural. Chapter 3 Drezen is a serious offender in this regard, being very obviously a hub area and not a real place. Also, Larian environment suffer from being overly dense. Doing basically anything in BG3 feels like a slog. Perhaps most egregious is the container spam. As a compulsive completionist, this is extremely annoying.
Those are both great points.
Pathfinder content ? WE VIBE
Still need to give WotR a play through myself but my love for BG3 at this point, i worried might cloud my judgement. Fantastic video as always!
Considering that, it might be better to cleanse your palate with a smaller scale CRPG or go to a different type of experience altogether and try out their Rogue Trader game. I'm waiting for a couple more updates and a sale before jumping in on that one.
@@PrettyGuardianis this Pathfinder have more voice over than Rogue trader?? Rogue Trader have so many silent dialogue, thank you 🙏
@@MultiDarto Great question! I haven't played Rogue Trader yet so I can't compare. Baldur's Gate is pretty close (if not) 100% voice acted. Pathfinder WotR FELT about 50% voice acted (most of the main story beats were voice acted but most of the side content was not).
@@PrettyGuardian exactly after playing BG3, it kinda feel somewhat off, with the missings VO, thanks for the insight 🙏
Can't wait for your next video, "3 months old toddler vs Mike Tyson".
Jake Paul's already making that one.
Both are good games, BG3 gets it for presentation, but for tactical depth and build variety WotR can't be stopped.
Awesome ty 🦾
As disturbing as it is, I think a lot of young women resign themselves to sexual servitude within their romantic relationships because they don't believe they have choice/don't know any better. As a 26 year old woman from a Catholic background I didn't start saying "no" to sex until 2022 when I met a group of friends who taught the concept of consent and respectful relationship. For context my own mother has always taught me that sex is a chore women endure for men's pleasure. I found this book boring, but I think Zevin captures the nuance of what it's like to be a woman growing up in cultures and family's with patriarchal and "traditional" undertones
DNF at 60%. This book irritated the crap out of me. As a girl, as a gamer and as a woman who's been in an abusive relationship...this book was awful. Period. So glad I'm not alone in this.
“No chopping down trees in this game!” *stares in confused Animal Crossing*
Don't make me get the net
Excited to hear your video about this game! I got it a while back on switch and haven’t played yet but looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it :)
It's a wonderful game. Switch is usually the last to get updates because of the extra development time and the processes they have to go through with Nintendo in order to get the updates active online. So if you're comfortable waiting, you'll probably get a better experience from it further down the road.
@@PrettyGuardian Ah I see! That makes sense and thanks for the heads up! 😊
Those combat animations are pretty cool. I might check this one out. Thanks for the detailed review.
What kind of games do you normally go for?
@@PrettyGuardian SRPG's with maybe a puzzle game to play in between. I've been getting a decent amount of play out of BG3.
@@Vagran Oooh, I'd definitely recommend Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. My next video is going to be a little compare and contrast between them and BG3.
@@PrettyGuardian Great game! I put in around 900 hours in that one! I loved that you can play it either Turn Based or Real Time w/Pause. It will be great to hear your take on that game.
Awesome analogy thank you. I liked when you said your going to criticize all the games but then tell us how good they all are. LOL. I do the same. Im playing Archeage again and man there is so much wrong with the game. But I love the game too I been with AA for years.
My thoughts after finishin Pivots Chapter: What bugs me is Saddie not only getting in an abusive relationship with Dov and her not really coming to terms with it (why does she still keep contact even) ...But that the book is trying to make her look like an empowered woman, when she isn´t So, she wants to make it in the gaming industry as one of the few girls... yet she was overshadowed by the male producers in the book. For Both Sides, Mapletown the ideas that made these good (or at least Both Sides not flop entirely) came from Sam and Marx. Saddie made the engine that was good...but it didn´t really impacted the story or another hit production. For Ichigo...both Sam and Saddie had ideas...but Sam wasn´t shown to be struggling so much with designing whereas Saddie had to use Dovs engine to make it work. This would be okay if the story made an actual effort of her breaking free from Dov, coming to terms with it and moving on as a stronger person. But it doesn´t do it aside from a shallow way. A popular side game of Sams and Saddies company also had a male producer team. So...Saddie is really overshadowed up until now. It doesn´t helöp that she is written as less likeable than Sam. Sam also doesn´t has the best character developement but he gets a bit more in his reasoning, backstory. This on top with the whole Dov thing makes her look quite the oppisite than the book is trying to convey. It could have worked if structured in a way that she has to grow to make it. Which is isn´t by how the book is written. Anotehr thing bothering me is that it is a story about friendship...yet it was revealed Sam had romantic feelings towards her most of the time. I wanted to read about friendship without the love aspect for once. This is destroying the whole premise. Not to mention they keep making similar mistakes in their friendship and not really grow from it. The only aspect intact is it about young people getting gaming developers. The issues they faced on this front were written good so far but also we have missing a define end goal here. It is just something is missing. I am just really disappointed with it and will stop reading.
Excellent review. I agree with you.
I was always interested in the my time at games. i love seeing it get a bit of attention. definitely going to finally check it out. been looking for another cozy game since getting bored of Palia. great video.
Thanks for checking it out. Palia is on my game list, I've just been waiting for it to come out of early access and get some updates under its belt.
Excited to check out this video 😊 Best wishes for 2024! Hope you have many awesome gaming experiences and cool movies/tv!
Good luck with your channel! I really like this analysis of your 2023 top rpgs of the year.
It means the world to me that you took the time to check out the list!
Still a fan of ESO after playing 5 years. A lot of game play changes, and I thoroughly enjoy the Telvanni Peninsula, Apocrypha, and the Arcanist class. I still haven't tried Diablo 4. I started with the OG back in the day. Diablo 2 scared me to pieces! Loved D3, but keep hearing mixed reviews on D4. Thanks for your rankings and comments!
To this day, my favorite chapter has been Summerset. It's just such a beautiful zone and so many of the questlines felt like they had love behind them like everything that went down with the House of Revelries. Greymoor and on hasn't been as good but they seem to have a creative direction again so very excited to see what comes next. Diablo 4 is definitely a mixed reviews type of game. If you feel compelled or have a friend to play it with maybe grab it on sale, otherwise it's a safe one to leave off "must buy" list.
Hey she's back at it again!
You know I'm not going anywhere ;)
I was thinking the same thing. I was like did I see this video before. LOL
Just got this game gifted to me on Steam so was looking at some reviews for it..I love XCom so hoping to enjoy it. Really enjoyed your straight forward take on the game, looks like fun..I wasn't too sure lol.
Have you had the chance to play it yet? It made my top 10 games lost for 2023.
@@PrettyGuardian Just the tutorial at the beginning so far but it looks really good, I think I will be pretty addicted to this one..
good job, stay precious
No gag reflex baby girl?
Lots of good information and an honest review. Just a bit of constructive criticism, just compile your thoughts a bit more before hand, maybe sections, story, characters, base/over world mechanics, and then combat and final thoughts. You have a new subscriber in me thanks for the video.
Thank you for the feedback. I will keep working on it.
I loved your dialogue in this vid and combined with the video footage - your video was really immersive!
Thanks for dropping by Kaffs. Glad you liked it lol.
Look how stinking cute you are! ❤
Sadie’s character ruined the WHOLE book for me. I gave this a 2 star rating and was so frustrated by everyone who kept hyping it up. Yes, Zevin is a good writer. I mean the book isn’t generic or boring. I just cannot understand why someone would give this a 5 star rating 😂 it’s driving me insane. But it’s also not my issue because at the end of the day everyone has their own opinions. I’m just glad I’m not alone in the fact that I didn’t care for this book that much.
Blades book club is worth the price of admission
Felt exactly the same after reading. 3 out of 5
Where y get this game?
I got it on Steam but it looks like you can get on Switch and Playstation too. I don't know if it's on Xbox.
Yeast 9 Monster Nox. I'm not editing that out.
TemTem is super fun and the community behind the game is fantastic, awesome video you posted here, can't wait for more! This game is a hidden gem, and your videos make it shine even brighter. 🌟
I agree needed a good editor to be decent. The Dov thing felt so odd cause Sadie was so angry at Sam for forcing her to interact with Dov, but has no problem with Dov?
The way the situation was handled was just bizarre. Thanks for the comment though. It makes me feel better that other people had these thoughts too. The book was so celebrated when it came out that I wasn't sure if I was just missing something.
Great review. The previous game was very good, it grew on me over time and im fond of it. Nox felt like a big step BACK wards, am i nuts? I remember playing for an entire day, and i was still in that first city, i was just so tired of being stuck there, it wasnt interesting. I ended up quitting, im sure it gets better but i just was baffled by it. I gotta get a ps5 copy somehow, if i can get it cheaply and give it a proper go. But i remember really disliking the 12 or so hours i played. Dana definitley had a slow start too, but the island you are on was so wonderful, i didnt mind at all. The city youre in, here, is just so blah
That's the point, you're trapped in that city and you need to figure out why. while you do eventrually leave the city, it's not the point of this particular Ys Game.
@@RaifSeverence and I'm telling you it's not good
I SWEAR TH-cam unsubscribed me from your channel and I’m so pissed
the game is pretty over rated
I'm glad it is. This is one of my favorite genres of games and all of the traction BG3 has built up means we have an even better chance at getting something like Pillars of Eternity 3 or getting a new Dragon Age that isn't made with a SaaS model in mind.
For my campaign with my husband, I will be a Tiefling Ranger so I can have an animal level up with me, also I will romance Shadow heart cause her story seems very intriguing. For my solo campaign I will be an Elf Monk romancing Karlach <3
Gotta love a good romance!
I wanted to make a ranger too. What kind of animal companion were you going to take on?
Character bio. This might make more sense if you've read the echos saga Rise of The ranger but. My characters name is Srizzt son or Drizzt and Katy Bree Trained by none other then the immortal father of the Arokesh himself , Asher. So I'll be a half elf gloomstalker :)
Very nice!
Ooh a half elf gloomstalker is going to be awesome.
I mentioned the wild magic barbarian, and the shadow monk but i also want to try to do a heavy multiclass! Maybe the Cleric/Paladin min max!
While i love eso. But its formulaic content has run its course for me. There is nothing new, its just repeat of everything before. Im thirsty for something new
Good evening Pretty!!! I am interested in this series and after seeing it through a couple videos and a stream, i would like to check it out for myself!!! Also i do agree that the dichotomy between rpgs is pointless. Great video!!!!
I don't know what kind of games I expected you to be playing... Maybe stuff like Doom... But I love that you're interested in this series! Thanks for checking out my video!
Nice, I always enjoy your reviews.
VAGRAN!!! Thanks for stopping by. I always smile when I see your comments.
Bethesda is legendary for bad launches. Every game they have made has been bad at launch. People forget how bad Skyrim was lol
Rip and tear, the DOOM SLAYER is here!!! Sorry for late notice but i will say this about this film: OH SNAP!!!! Talk about escalation in massive proportions. This film got me really immersed of how the curse of spider-man has really weighed heavily upon so many characters and in the forefront is our boy Miles who faced a dilemma that will forever affect his life. The story is great, gwen and miles are absolutely incredible with their stories slowly becoming intertwined with the situation that is getting more and more disastrous. I would talk about more about the film but that would take way too long, so got to say this was quite the experience and one hell of a continuation and real excited to see the next film the following year!!! Great video Pretty and Derek!!!!!
Couldn't agree with you more on every single point. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks for your comment man. Big preesh! I got nothing to add!
Absolute banger of a movie!! Great video!!!
Thanks for checking it out. I can't wait for the sequel!
Big preesh to you sir! Thanks for checkin the video out! It’s such a stellar movie that makes me beg for the day Beyond comes out!
