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.

Aby game that you heard about and thought "meh it's just another xyz style game. How good can it be?" But you gave it a go anyway and it turned out the game was really good.

Absolutely amazingly beautiful game. The cutscenes...
makes me think of Arcane every time I load it up.

And then, it turns out it's got solid gameplay, if you like Dark Souls type of games. It's got that oomph to the fighting. That visceral feel that really makes the fighting enjoyable, although brutal. It's got room for improvement for sure, but they keep polishing it and every time I come back it's better. It's hard to believe it's only a fraction of the full game, too!
