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.

Death Stranding Director's Cut via PlayStation Plus membership. I had a healthy amount of skepticism about it at launch, but it got its hooks in me deep. I've got 80 hours so far and I'm planning to Platinum it before moving on.

It's one of those games that will either bore you to tears or suck you in. Half of my gaming sessions are just spent building infrastructure. The game progression is on point.

I absolutely love Death Stranding as well. It's definitely a game where the details of the mechanics make the seemingly mundane become interesting.

And knowing that the things you make and place will help others is a great motivator.

DS is an all-time top 5 game for me. It's also one of the most difficult to explain why without sounding either bonkers or boring...

I loved it so much. It became a mission of my life to rebuild all the roads lol. And then to get zip lines everywhere. However I left the last 2 trophies as it needed more grinding. Handheld gaming seems like a great fit for this game.
