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.

8AM PT, 11AM ET.

Can't beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

Got excited until I realized it wasn’t the Outer Wilds…

Outer Worlds is a fun game. Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.

I avoided the dlc for ages because I couldn't see how it could top the main game. And then it did anyway.

It feels like a sequel honestly. Kind of incredible how many of the core mechanics from the base game they threw out in service of telling a new story differently.

Yeah I had to check 3 times whether I got the game right or not between the two.

Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.

Me too, but because I mehhed it so hard that I was unable to finish it. Nice vibes though and fascinating premise, but the gameplay sucked for me and the story wasn't compelling enough to counter that.

And I barely failed to get a refund in time :-|
