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.

Ixion had me at the trailer. Not many games or movies hold that kind of sway over me, and I was so richly rewarded for giving it a shot.

My only frustration with the game is how low replay-ability is, and how the overall plot is fixed. You can make some different decisions along the way, but you're not going to impact the story all that much.

True.

The biggest change during my replays is how I interact with the spheres!
