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.

Celeste is 75% off and is a near-masterpiece of a game.

Portal 1 and Portal 2 are on sale again of course on the chance you haven't yet hit these absolutely classic legendary games.

Persona 4 Golden is 40% off and is awesome, and Persona 5 Royal is 60% and is even more awesome.

Metal: Hellsinger is 70% off and while it isn't a GOTY type game, it's a hell of a lot of fun if you're a contemporary metal music fan.

but my biggest recommendation is probably gonna be

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale at 80% for only $3.99 (US) which is an completely underrated hidden gem of a game and a huge recommendation for anyone who likes quirky cozy-hybrid games or who, like me, spent way too long on the shopkeeper segments in RPGs like Torneko Taloon's chapter in DQIV.

edit: why in the world would anyone ever downvote a personal recommendation comment? Weird behavior, fam

Will do! I just started playing Moonlighter recently which is currently scratching that itch a bit

Have you played BPM: Bullets Per Minute? If so, how would you say it compares? I like metal and I like shooting demons, but that one never really grabbed me, I'm not sure why.

I haven't ever played BPM, I'm sorry.
