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 recently started my first Serious Sam game and I am super excited! I've been craving a bulletstormy mindless shooter, and I thought that that was what Serious Sam goes for. So I started it up last night and went with normal. Almost immediately I found myself having to conserve ammo, aim carefully, and watch my health. I died after the first group of enemies. I reloaded, moved more carefully, and made a decent dent in the level before dieing several more times.

I started googling and found out I was entirely wrong about Sam, its a game meant to challenge and force you to think about enemy spawns and weapon choice. It is not at all the game I was expecting but it is a ton of fun and I reccomend it to anyone looking for a fun challenging shooter!

Maybe Boltgun? It is a Doom clone - think Original Doom not the modern with fancy graphics. This is a homage to those pixelated run and gun shooters from the past.

I got it a couple nights ago on the PS5 and have not been able to put it down. Just the look and feel of the original Doom, the death metal soundtrack, and of course, it is set in the 40k universe - so prepare yourself for an endless amount of cultists and demons.

Google a few videos of it first though to make sure it’ll fit your bill. The graphics are meant to look the way they do.
