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.

This one kind of flew under the radar for me back when it came out but with all the hype surrounding the sequel, it seemed like a great time to play the first game ($30 USD).

Definitely have never played an RPG quite like it. It’s extremely difficult for me so far but not in a rage-inducing way, more like I keep dying because I’m playing it like Skyrim. It feels like a slow burn type of game, where the more time I invest in my character, the stronger he’ll become and the more enjoyable the game will be.

Anyone else playing the first game right around now?

Yeah I picked it up last month, I'm finally getting the hang of combat, or Henry is getting better at it.

I really enjoy all the little things too. Riding out of town exploring etc, then coming back filthy covered in blood, go to a bath house get cleaned up. Mend my clothes and repeat

It's both. They actually made a pretty neat system, where you get warnings to attack/block earlier at higher levels. So as your real-life skill improves, the games also makes it easier for you, meaning you get a double whammy of improvement.

I love games like this where you start useless and become a god of war
