A gaming sub 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've noticed this one seems to be chilling (lobby emptyish), so I would love to pipe it up to people who might not know about it.

I've been obsessed with Spy Party recently. It's this casual-not-casual 1v1 strategy game where one person plays a spy trying to complete innocuous missions at a crowdy cocktail party while the other player is a sniper trying to catch them in the act and shoot them. And the whole game runs just 3-4 minutes. The spy wins if they finish their missions or the sniper kills an innocent, and the sniper wins if the spy fails or they catch them redhanded and fire their ONE bullet.

Dev has basically stopped, but the game is pretty much complete. What a blast. You probably want to make sure you have a friend to play with in case the lobby is sleepy (there's usually one or two people inviting me to a game immediately when I join, but mostly because they're chilling alone waiting for a join). A buddy of mine and I keep going back to it over a bunch of other games because it's so damn addictive.
