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 enjoying playing The Witness with my wife! It's been a really engaging and relaxing time to spend together. It's even more fun when we can pick it up over lunch and just chill together.

On my own I'm playing Peglin, a rogue like Peggle. It's been a blast and is a great game to play while relaxing and playing some tunes. I'm also playing Death Must Die but I'm finding the viable builds to be kind of one note. Some of them are just too overpowered, but I'm still experimenting.

I havent player since they added separate classes to Peglin, I really should get back to it,.but Backpack Battle has been sucking all my time recently.

Oh man, backpack battle is high on my list. I love little roguelikes so much.

I'll check out The Witness, something to play/chill with a partner is always nice.

Peglin sounds interesting; I still fire up Peggle from time to time, and I always think of it whenever I hear Ode to Joy (which is at least once a year thanks to the best Christmas film Die Hard).

I would really recommend it! It's on Android too which has been bad for my productivity.
