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.

I'm perpetually playing Deep Rock Galactic, Halo MCC, and Team Fortress 2, but besides those, here are some other games I played in the last 30 days:

Desktop (Pop!_OS)

  • CarX Drift Racing Online (2017) - way more difficult than I expected, but fun once you get the hang of it
  • Hylics 2 (2020) - incredible art and soundtrack
  • Landfall Archives (free - 2023) - nice collection of demos from one of my favorite indie dev studios
  • Left 4 Dead 2 (2009) - went back and played with some friends, still awesome
  • MUCK (free - 2021) - tried this out with a few friends, very fun
  • Outlast (2013) - finally completed this classic and loved it
  • POSTAL 2 (2003) - not a game I'd recommend to everyone, but if you're the type of person who would enjoy this type of humor, then you'll really enjoy it

Steam Deck

  • American Truck Simulator (2016) - nice game to chill out to
  • Finding Paradise (2017) - incredible story
  • Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (2021) - also a nice game to chill out to, but some levels are a lot more difficult than expected (not a bad thing)
  • Vampire Survivors (2022) - I am so addicted please help
