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.

pokemon lets go. i skipped it on release because i assumed the dumbed down mechanics are not for me as an aduld fan. but once i picked it up i like it a lot. the graphics are breathtakeing for a gamefreak ip. and the way more accessible and time saveing shiny hunting, made me commit to a shiny only run.

I gotta admit i boxed eevee eventhough i love it, because that would just be too op.

but a strong recomendation for the pokemon fan that yawns for a chill experience

Rivals of Aether 2, its so good to have an indie platfighter that has Smas'hs level of polish.

The first one is still a better casual experience because of workshop and single player modes, but I'm here to shmoove in ranked.

Help, the Factorio expansion has taken hold of me and will not let go!

No cure has been found yet for factorio.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I've found the perfect method to take a break from Factorio is to apply Satisfactory and a dash of Techtonica.

I say break, because there's no stopping Factorio. I'm afraid it's chronic.

The only cure is to burn out the addiction with more factory.

I've started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I'm glad that I waited a few years

Started Changed. What an insanely difficult game. What a strange thing for someone to be into.. but I love the art. It’s way too difficult for me so far, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

its kinda crazy isnt it? i would never tell irl i played it lol. but as a person who was in the rpg maker scene of the 2000/2010 years, it feels like the pinacle of this era and comunity. its not the best game but feels like the most iconic by haveing every standard and every stereotype of rpg maker games turned to 12. Perhabs there is potential to write a paper about how and why it was developed.

Sifu is a fun martial-arts focused game. If you liked the combat of Sleeping Dogs and Batman Arkham, it might be your kind of game. It's currently on sale for $20: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2138710/Sifu/

I recently looped back to rimworld.

I was playing a bunch of frostpunk 2, then a little frostpunk 1, and then bounced between the two of them. But in the end all gaming comes back to rimworld...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

i once heard somewhere that rimworld was just supposed to be an example piece of how gamedesign works rather than an actual game. and it had such good game design it grew a huge comunity :D

No source, dont remember where i got that

Caves of Qud

I cannot recommend it enough

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago

I've been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.

I’ve been addicted to WarFrame for months and before that it was Wayfinder but that was pre 1.0 so I’d like to go back into that one when I can peel myself away from WF

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Good luck on your Warframe journey! Where are you in the story right now? I dropped it after the railjack came out, and am tempted to go back and see some of the new stuff. I just don't have that much time and patience for grinding all the resources now, maybe I'll just see a playthrough or something.

Hello,

Thanks for this post. Do you think they could be made weekly? The community is probably large enough to discuss things once a week

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

I have an anti-recommendation for Pathfinder Kingmaker.

They almost have a good RPG here but the combat is so frequent and the encounter design is just wack. The second to last dungeon is the worst I have ever experienced.

Normally I stop once I'm not feeling it. I'm not really sure why I pushed through here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

I've been playing Eldritch. Friggin frustrating game. Ok, just one more go.

Death Crown (2019)

It's as if a 4x was stripped down to the essentials, just you and the map and three building types, the gameplay is basically "try to overwhelm the enemy" and zerg rushing has been my winning strategy so far. Love the aesthetic though.

Narita Boy (2021)

I first played it close to release, but got bored of the story after a while, rediscovering this one on Steam Deck, the controls and combat has surprising depth !

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I'm ashamed to say I've stepped into the Gacha rabbit hole with Zenless Zone Zero. It's a fun game, combat feels quite good on PC, characters are likable, and the story is intriguing so far. Though I'm not ashamed to say that I haven't spent anything on this game, and I'm sticking to free to play, as the value you get out of spending in game just isn't worth it. There are much better ways to spend money than rolling for a chance to get a character. How much the whales are willing to spend for a character will never cease to amaze me.

Borderlands 2
I got into playing it yet again, mechromancer is so much fun when having full stacks of anarchy with a shotgun.
