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 have had this game for ages and only played a bit at the beginning. I like that it is very detailed and has a lot of historic context. I think the Devs spent a lot of time trying to make it really close to how things were looking back then. I am personally not a big fan of the story, which in my opinion is a bit dull and uninspiring, but I like the fact that you are first complete noob, that can die by pretty much everything in the game and you slowly build your skills and become more skilled.
There are also things I don't like. The whole combat system is very clumsy, the unlocking doesn't work with a controller and since I am playing it on a SD, I needed to install some auto cheat to be able to break into chests. Saving is also quite frustrating, at least at the beginning. Herbalism also doesn't work too well and is clumsy. Overall I would say it is 7.5/10 game, definitely worth the try but not a must.
