A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I absolutely love Doom. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are some of the best singeplayer FPS games I've played.

Doom 2016 wouldn't start for me. The loading screen just hung forever. Weirdly other people had the same complaint. If I knew I could refund it a second time I might try it again.

If you can get it working somehow, I would definitely recommend playing it! Earlier this year I played through 95% of the game on my Steam Deck (using Vulkan) then switched to my gaming desktop for the final few bits where I needed keyboard and mouse to get the job done. It's easily one my favorite games ever now.
