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.

It has been a while since the last one. So...

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.

I will never stop playing that game. I would suggest playing with "Peaceful" difficulty level at first (and maybe choosing Phoebe Chillax as narrator) so you'll have time to advance. There's so much to discover and do anyway without everything trying to burn your house down.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the suggestions!

I loved rimworld when it first came out. I have hundreds of hours. But by the time I was done (before the first dlc came out) I had tons and tons of mods installed. Which is fine. But now there are three dlc that I don't have and I assume most the mods probably require them. Is that the case?

Most mods shouldn't require the dlc unless they are based around it. Royalty is very good and add a lot of game play improvements like high tech melee weapons and psi powers. The system around psi powers is innovative and new. Boitech has cool new races with specialities and weakness. You can get very overpower with the right combos. The mechs are super disappointing as their unique drawback toxic waste is extremely had to deal with without cheese until late game when you can magic it away with some difficult to obtain parts. Ideology has fun ideas and roleplaying potential but it's implemented in a meh way. It's nice to be able to say my colony doesn't care about cannibalism or likes nutripaste but it doesn't add much beyond that. I haven't played the new horror one. It doesn't look very good. I'll see what kind of reviews it gets.
