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.

I just started Final Fantasy 7R, it’s my first Final Fantasy, and I‘m really enjoying it so far!

Currently in Act 3, really like the world and characters so far.

My first Final Fantasy was X on the PS2, we didn't have a memory card so I had to keep the console on for weeks with a risk of losing all progress with no savegame, It was the first game I finished.

I got Skyrim SE and have been really enjoying the Wildlander mod pack off of Wabbajack (an auto mod installer so I don't break everything)

It basically makes it a more survival focused game, removes level scaling and makes everything feel quite a bit more deadly.

I've only made it to lvl 12 so far but have really been enjoying building myself little camps and trying to survive a much more deadly world.

I recently got a new phone and was looking for some new games, out of the handful I downloaded that looked interesting* I got in to Alto's Odyssey the most, and have been playing that more than any of my other games this week. I actually just had my best run so far!

*Was looking for something similar to Sky: Children of the Light, which I really really loved (and I generally hate having other real players in my game unless it's like a board game, but strangers just helping each other out was nice) until I started getting chased by dragons and drowning and shit and it wasn't fun anymore. If anyone has suggestions for anything that feels as chill and friendly as that game, that's a beautiful world to explore with some goals (so not like Wilderless, which is nice but gets old quick) but nothing too competitive or stressful (and just for android, my pc is in need of an upgrade and couldn't handle much lol), let me know!

Thanks for the recommendation, definitely not a game I would have considered if I was scrolling past it, but will give it a try!

Xenoblade chronicles X. I picked it up again recently after leaving it untouched since forever ago. The game was just a perfect storm of being impossible for me to play when i first got it on pre-order, both because it has really complex systems I didn't get, and because I had extremely limited time on the sole TV in the house by nature of other people not wanting to watch jrpg side questing for hours on end.
