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.

Death Stranding. Completely forgot about the game until I got it in humble monthly, and... Damn it was worth playing. In retrospective, I'd have been happy dropping 60 on it. I thought going in it'd be boring gameplay for a weird story, but the gameplay was actually REALLY FUN and the story was weord.

+1. It's one of those games that got better overtime. When it came out in 2019 there were people like, "Really? A hiking / Amazon Prime simulator?"

But after the Pandemic, the isolation and theme of yearning connections really hit home, and the entire design and philosophy just clicked and worked for me. I started appreciate everything about the game. I think Hideo Kojima even said he's going to try and not predict the future in Death Stranding 2 😄
