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 just want to give a shout out to Subnautica. I've been having a blast playing it for the last two weeks. In my opinion, it's actually the best game I have played in terms of the open world design. At the start of the game, there are just two map-related things on your hud, the location of the life pod where you start and a depth indicator. There is no mini map or a million question marks on a map and you don't even start with a compass. I honestly had a lot of fun driving around in a submarine and placing beacons in each biome to sort of make my own map. Exploration is a lot of fun in this game.
