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.

Thank you! It's actually on sale on playstatiom for $5 or free with ps+ extra so I am definitely going to check that out!

Oh that said I haven't played half life yet and will once I have a computer. Should I also lower my expectations cuz that was also a Big Deal I haven't gotten the opportunity to play yet!

+1 for The Talos Principle, it’s a very good game - but be warned it is less accessible than Portal. Where Portal gives visual clues to solutions, The Talos Principle actively hides them. Especially the bonus stars can get very hard.

Oooh that sounds fun too now I'm even more excited to try it! And luckily I have no shame googling puzzle solutions if I'm stumped

Yeah, probably. It's a good game, but the good parts have been copied by many other games.

I recommend playing Black Mesa instead of that original for better graphics and whatnot, and then HL2.

Oooh, and that's also on sale for $4 right now! Thank you!
