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.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon. If it's currently on sale, a link to the sale & price would be great.

Few months ago I played Hyper Light Drifter on my Steamdeck and it was an almost revelatory experience. I don't usually spend too much time with that sort of game but it absolutely drew me in and I finished it inside a few nights.

What did you like about it?

I remember playing it in 2017 and one day I stopped and never went back to it, but I don't remember if I liked it or not. The music and the art style is gorgeous though. It's one of the few games I have bought the OST for

Honestly I don't really know. The game feels really tight and I found that just moving the guy around the screen was enjoyable. Obviously the visuals don't hurt either.

It had a little bit of Tunic in it too (or I guess Tunic had a bit of HLD in it), which is apparently something I absolutely need in my games going forward.

Going to download it on my steamdeck soon and try it out

Thanks!
