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.

Playing Yakuza 3. I've basically played one each year starting from Yakuza 0 and I'm really enjoying the pace. I find I get a bit tired of the game around 3/4 in, so I don't think I could handle playing them back-to-back.

Aside from that, I've been playing:

  • Cities Skylines II - performance seems to largely be fixed, so I finally broke down a bought it; will probably play it some more during the holiday season
  • Dragon Age: Origins - I usually burn out on RPGs, so hopefully this one sticks, because it looks interesting

I'm also playing through a bunch of games I've owned for a while, such as some random point and click games (Syberia, Agatha Chrisie games, etc) and some random platformers. I'm basically forcing myself to finish two games I already have before getting more, and I've found some fun gems.

Just picked up Dave the Diver on sale and am loving it.

Edit to remove a game newer than 12 months! :-p

I'm playing Read Dead Redemption 2 for the first time, it's a really good game

Oddly enough I've been playing High on Life on the Steamdeck. I give it a solid 6/10.

The art style is cool and the characters aren't as annoying as I thought they would be, but damn is it shallow.

All levels are basically the same but the gunplay and movement are nice enough to keep me around. I just play it while watching TV with my girlfriend. Nice mix of a wave shooter and platforming. It really reminds me of Doom in a way
