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.

[Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? (reddthat.com)

I'm hooked on Marvel's Midnight Suns right now. It's a little bit XCOM, a little bit Persona, and some deckbuilding on top. Some exploration and light puzzles in the hub area between missions if you like, mostly for the friendship/lore/cosmetic stuff. Got it free from Epic last month, but I'd say it's at least worth $25 or so if you find a sale.

Edit: Also Nico Minoru is a possible party member, and I fucking love Runaways.

I enjoyed the XCOM-like parts, but couldn't stand the running around, material gathering stuff. Just let me be super heroes non-stop battling bad guys, with a little bit of room between fights for upgrades. I don't want to go fishing with Blade.

Gathering materials does suck, yeah. Rarely an activity I enjoy in any game.

I can respect the opinion of wanting to skip the social parts, that's definitely not for everyone.

Some of them I really like though, like Nico's always doing these side-eyed references to movies without actually naming them (Pulp Fiction, The Room, etc.)
