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.

here is your reminder to take a peek over on GOG aswell. personally found steam's offerings pretty lacking this year. GOG's; less so.

True, I however got a Steam voucher as a present recently so it made more sense to use it for this. GOG doesn't do vouchers or do they? Couldn't find it last time I looked, you can gift specific games though. I might just be blind.

Anyway, to keep with theme of the thread I got 3 games for my voucher:

Dave the diver

Tunic

The last campfire

I remember Stranglehold being mind-blowing for its time. I'm pretty sure I had a physical copy that is long gone, but 5 bucks is not much to see how it has held up.

Also strongly considering breaking my early access rule to check out Jump Space. The main thing holding me back is trying to get a few friends to pick it up as I don't want the crew to just be me and a bot.

I highly recommend Jump Space if you can recruit your buddies! It's pretty similar in terms of gameplay feel to Deep Rock Galactic - team play is pretty rewarding, goofing off won't penalize you too hard. Worth every penny so far
