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.

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

Remnant From the Ashes: They call it a Souls-like with guns, I'm not sure I totally agree, but there are similarities with the checkpoints and NG+ mechanic. It's a shortish game. Plays well in coop, and is made tomplay through a few times as levels are procedurally generated. The second game is out now, but there are still players on this.

Astral Ascent: Kind of a rogue-like action platformer, the game seems straightforward at the beginning but as you try new runs and unlock more skills there is a very deep build and progression system where you can get super powerful and the screen goes wacky. Also the music and atmosphere is top notch. Oh it's only just been released, but it has been in early access for +6 months, so sorry, not sorry.

I think I am going to start Astral Ascent as soon as I am finished with Dave the Diver. Thanks for the mini review.
