A gaming sub 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've been playing the Frozen Wilds DLC of Horizon Zero Dawn, but I might be a bit burnt out on the game since I just finished the main quest and spent so much time on it. I'm like 20 levels over the quests, although I can still die from 2 hits but a machine so it's not too bad.

I'm considering replaying the original FF7 before Rebirth comes out or buying a used, physical copy of Divinity: Original Sin 2 to tide me over until I can afford Baldur's Gate 3. Not sure if it will help scratch that itch but I've been missing DnD and fantasy RPG's since it's been so much trouble getting my group to meet.

I highly recommend DOS2! I've had a lot of fun playing it with a friend. The story and side quests are some of the most creative I've seen experienced in years, and as someone who doesn't play many turn based games I actually really enjoy the combat. I haven't played BG3 but it seems similar enough to scratch that itch

Thanks! That might be just the motivation I needed to pull the trigger on it.
