YouTuber and comedian Ashens has 1,000 hours in Baldur's Gate 3 and reveals the worst retro game he's ever played: 'By the time you've hacked it to work, it's just no fun whatsoever'
The filmmaker and author of Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of gives us a tour of his Steam library.
YouTuber and comedian Ashens has spent 1,000 hours playing Baldur's Gate 3 and has revealed the worst retro game he has ever played. Growing up on 8-bit games, Ashens recalls hating Syndicate Wars, a PC game he played early on, and later transitioning to Duke Nukem 3D. As a YouTuber since 2006, Ashens is known for his reviews of unconventional food products on his main channel and for his criticism and commentary on retro video games.
Currently, Ashens is working on a folk horror film told in reverse, but he paused production to discuss his PC setup, which includes the digital version of Gloomhaven, which he has played for 150 hours. His previous game was Baldur's Gate 3, still installed on his PC. Ashens' oldest game by release date is Street Fighter for DOS from 1988, which he finds to be very poor compared to the arcade version.
