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.

I tried to get into Mortal Shell twice now and both times I've ran away screaming. I hear great things about it, but I find the character feel so cumbersome from the outset that I just give up after an hour or two.
It just plays different. Once you get a bit further than an hour or 4 in, it clicks. Frustrating at first as the difficulty has a technique ramp and some rather hard seeming enemies.
Hellpoint is also a lot of fun.
Lords of the fallen is good, though some of the bosses and ranged enemies are annoying. Need a powerful machine due to the optimization and bugs, daily patches for most of the week.
I'm probably going to play Lords when it's cheaper. I've just finished Lies of P and I'm working my way through Dark Souls Remastered, and with Spider-Man and that new Mario game, I'm officially maxed out with regards to game time.
