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.

It's been in my library for years and I didn't know much about it. Randomly started playing it a few days ago and I've been having a blast solving the puzzles. It's been a while since a game has really made me want to finish it and see what is at the ending.

I'm at the end now working on the final (I think) puzzle.

(this is also my first ever lemmy post)

I got stuck on a level where you had to navigate a maze while evading suicide drones, then I turned my attention to other games out of frustration. I really enjoyed the puzzles up until that point, though!

I don’t remember exactly where I stopped but I had a similar experience. I was absolutely loving it until I just got completely stuck, spending a couple hours on a puzzle got boring. Would love to pick it up again someday when I have more time though.

I was a bit frustrated at that point because it got more like a twitchy video game and less like a puzzle game, if that makes any sense. I'd still like to finish it, though.

Yeah. That's were I abandonned the game out of frustration. Playing the same 30 seconds again and again and again is not fun.
