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.

Alright, looks like it's my turn to be "that guy", but as a certified, heavily medicated sad boi, I really can't recommend Souls games enough. They're tough, but they got me to redefine what success and personal improvement could look like and was slowly able to apply that to other facets of my life.
I finished a Dark Souls 1 playthrough a long time ago, but every other time I've tried to get into a Dark Souls or souls-like game I haven't been able. I guess I was in a special mood back then.
