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.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon. If it's currently on sale, a link to the sale & price would be great.

The Outer Worlds. It's certainly a nice ride. A bit quirky at parts. It has a different take on Cyberpunk/dystopic capitalism than e.g. Cyberpunk 2077. Much more realistic and close to what could actually happen. It takes it with humor though, albeit it still hurts sometimes since it is just a bit too close to reality. Combat is fun. I can certainly recommend it!

While I played and enjoyed it, I expected a lot more from Obsidian (makers of Fallout New Vegas). I loved going from planet to planet and exploring. Love the VATS system from Fallout, so that was nice to have here. The graphics are aces, but sometimes I think they spent too much of their time on buildings and textures vs designing levels. The planets themselves seem a little "shallow." There are like 5 locations on a whole planet to check out, and there are roads the you need to stick to. The Obsidian sense of humor is here. I'm not trying to be a hater though, just an Asian dad.
