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.

Coming into Psychonauts 2 straight off the first one was honestly great. The story beats didn't miss a single hitch, the reintroduction of Raz's powers was perfect, and I loved the new characters.
I re-played the first a few years back and it's one of the very few games I've 100%'d. Despite the years long gap since my last time playing, it still felt like I just jumped back into the world. So far I'm liking the new characters, but I do miss the original cast of camp kids.
I will say the constant references to the in-between VR exclusive game is frustrating. That feels like a crucial bit of story being dangled over my head that I know I'm never going to see because a VR headset is just not in the cards for me for at least the next few years. Maybe I just need to watch a Let's Play.
That's what I did for RoR (Rhombus of Ruin). There's also the recap video at the beginning of 2.
But I've played the first so many times through my life I honestly don't even know what the count is at. It's had a massive impact on how I view everything.
