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.

Another week, another recommendations thread.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

This one kind of surprised me, but I have been hooked on Fight Night Champion. I noticed it on game pass and remembered having a good time with the older games in the series so I gave it a shot. The legacy mode in this game is surprisingly in depth and offers a lot of different ways to improve your skills and upgrade your boxer. The AI beat my ass pretty regularly until I started messing with different styles and techniques. At the end of the day it's still just two dudes beating each other with their fists, but it's a blast.

Fight Night controls are perfect.

They really are! Rotating the stick for that perfect uppercut and getting the flash KO is like a dopamine shot to the brain.
