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.

Any of the classic valve games (half life, portal, and their sequels). If auto shooters are your thing, vampire survivors is less than a small coffee. Dead space (the remake) is $15. Halo MCC is $10. Titanfall 2 is $3. The “new” tomb raider trilogy are all less than $5 each or get the bundle. Alan wake is $5. Prey is $3. And Batman Arkham origins is $2.

Just a handful of good games for cheap. There’s many more out there.

I wish Halo MCC had split screen on PC

there's a mod that works pretty well for that... nucleuscoop (it might have rebranded... haven't loaded it in a bit)

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

Bah, it's Windows only. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Prey is awesome. I recently finished it after getting it in de the summer sale. Highly recommend!

Second this on Prey. Definitely is a love letter to immersive Sims like System Shock and Deus Ex. Hell there is a rumor that before Bethesda wanted to cover up the homicide of Prey 2, "Prey" 2017 was going to be called Neuroshock. Shame Arkane Austin was forced into live service shit with RedFall that they obviously had zero interest in and most original Arkane alumni left before the inevitable closure when they saw the writing on the wall.

Lot of great suggestions here- I grabbed MCC myself. Was kinda stunned that it's... I think five games ranging from absolutely era defining (at least for me) to solid games. For $10 I'm not sure that can be beat.

I got the new Tomb Raider games free on Epic, but it seemed more like torture porn than a game. Had to turn it off.

lol, yeah. The animators definitely have a kink. They're still pretty fun games, though.

There were certain "sudden death" sequences I had to repeat a couple times and the torture porn aspect is an issue there.
