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.

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be fantastic.

I recently finished Grime (I got it for free on EGS). Not 100% tho.

A metroidvania with lots of difficulty to it.

Tho I found it to be a great game, but not amazing.

The bosses have great music and a beautiful design, they offer a great challenge, and often a respoin point is close enough to not be an annoyance.

There was some (multiple) places where area music was absent, and seemed sketchy.

Weapon balance is, well not that great, due to stamina. The game heavily pushes towards using low stamina consumption weapons, which also attack fast and do low damage per hit.

Higher damage per hit weapons are slower and use more stamina which is very punishing.

The inability to change the mouse binds is also a disappointment. Tho good thing I had ghub to create macros for the game and allow me to change those.

I just did unga bunga (strength) and had a fairly easy go of it. I put a good many trait points into stamina as well. I also invested into stamina regen abilities.
