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.

I'm playing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It has a 90% discount in Steam right now and it's been on my wishlist for a long time.
It's a beautiful game to look at. It runs great on the Steam Deck. The only issue I had was that it's quite dark for the OLED screen, but I've turned up the brightness and now it's good.
I find it quite challenging to play though, but that's part of the fun. If you like metroidvania games, I do recommend it, especially at its current price.
Such a great game and the sequel looks even better! I just beat the first one and really loved it, just about the right difficulty, and the escape sequences were really cool.
