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.

I recently replayed the entire Arkham series, including Origins.

They all still hold up incredibly well (maybe Asylum a tiny bit less, it was the first one and it feels a little clunky when you're coming right off of City or Knight), the acting is timeless, the stories feel like classic Batman tales... They're just perfect Batman games; and damn near perfect games just in general.

Yeah anyone wanting to get into the series should begin with asylum. It's got a more horror vibe which I think holds up incredibly well still.

But the other games are mechanically better, so it's hard to go backwards and enjoy it quite as much
