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.

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 just replayed Little Inferno after something reminded me about it and I noticed there was a DLC released (in late 2022).

It's a sandbox puzzle game where you burn stuff in your fireplace and try to find combos. There's slightly more to it, but really just stuff that's there to stop you buying + burning everything at once and insta-completing the game.

The DLC adds a new catalogue and more combos; if you're replaying you don't need to replay the main game too as it just adds to that (with a few changes).

I'm currently playing Brotato. This game is 7 months old, but due to its low price (currently 4€) and hardware requirements I bought it.

@InEnduringGrowStrong Apico! Very relaxing game.

A cousin of mine came to my house in the past holiday days and he helped me to regnite the Yu-Gi-Oh! that lives in my heart.

He plays the new rules and such, I only know the very old ones so we had a few matches with the older ones.

With that said that motivated me to get a videogame of that, I first tried with Duel Links and Master Duel for Android, but then I noticed that Link Evolution was a thing for Nintendo Switch and I got it, it was perfect as it has all the Yu-Gi-Oh! plot I know and more, so I'm gonna use it kinda as a tutorial to learn the new stuff as it kinda takes you by the hand at the start of the new arcs... And you can play with historic decks (the ones that characters used to fight, or at least the most similar) which makes it fun and frustrating depending on the RNG of the CPU lol, anyway if it is getting hard you can create your own deck and pretty much beat them easily.

So yeah, any old Yu-Gi-Oh! Players around here?

Outward Definitive edition

I recently got a bonus from work and decided to buy a PS5 (I’m usually on pc). As a massive souls fan who’s never owned a PlayStation, my first two games I’ve tried out were Bloodborne and the Demon’s Souls remake. I always like to keep a non-souls game in the rotation too, so I’ve been blasting through Spiderman Remastered. All have been a ton of fun so far.

I‘m mainly playing Black Ops III Zombies, Spiral Knights, DOOM (2016) multiplayer, and Genshin right now.

Out of these I can recommend DOOM the most, it does have notorious cheaters though that nobody‘s banning. You‘ll know once you get oneshot by guns you shouldn‘t get oneshot by.

Black Ops is fun but ridiculously expensive for its age. Spiral Knights is fun if you have friends to play with cause it‘s pretty dead. Genshin‘s Genshin.

Final Fantasy VI with the ROSE patch. This time I'll finish it for real, instead of quitting in the World of Ruin :P.

Assassin's Creed Origins, I picked up the 3 pack last year of Origins, Valhalla, and Odyssey on sale, and am just having the time to sit down to play Origins.

Just finished hypnospace outlaw, great game, you moderate internet pages in a fictional 1999, so if you feel nostalgic of that time the game might interest you. I enjoyed the story, though the ending was a bit anticlimatic, at least compared to what started the last arc of the game

I wanted to play a souls like but was bored of all the actual Fromsoft games (I've played them a fucking lot) so I started up Remnant: From the Ashes to give it another shot. I got passed 2 bosses a few years ago when I was given the game, but didn't get into it at all.

I'm reading more of the text this time and the story is kinda cool. Very Stargatey. The style is kinda weird for weirdness' sake though, and the RNG is fucking annoying (I keep getting super unlucky and having event swarm after event swarm and then I don't even get any good loot!). The bosses are hella bullshit difficulty. Like knowing the patterns isn't really helpful since the main boss doesn't really do much, but so far all of them have spawned swarms of small, fast moving enemies that do more damage than the giant monster does when it hits you with a big-ass brick.

I kinda want to see if the second one is better. I would imagine it has to be to have gotten somewhat popular. I hadn't heard of the first until it was gifted to me; but the second one was all over the net when it first dropped.

That isn't to say it's a bad game. It's one of those things that has the right ideas, but the implementation is just not very well done.

Edit: God damn. I just finished it. When I made this comment, I thought I was only half way through. That was short as shit. I got... 12 hours on this character. My God. I wasn't even rushing! I was checking every single nook and cranny and exterminating every enemy before leaving a zone.

Finally got around to trying out Nioh, pretty fun game. Im probably playing it terribly but its still enjoyable. Stay away from ledges though

Atomic Heart. DAMN this games good!! I know it won the steam award for visuals, but it feels like no one is playing this thing? I'm a little ways before the end of it, but it's already rocketed up to the levels of Prey or Titanfall 2 or the bioshocks for me.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The game is definitely interesting, but I just don't want to support the developer.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I can't even remember the high seas since steam and non stop sales became a standard. So... Doesn't Atomic Heart come with denuvo?

[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Oh! Wow I actually don't know, I played it off of Game Pass and didn't even think about it.

Edit: yes Google says it does have denuvo. What a shame, hopefully it gets cracked. In the meantime I suggest game pass! Could easily beat it on a month, and cheaper than buying the copy

Gemcraft Frostborn wrath. It's a very well done tower defense with a huge amount of levels and nice meta progression system.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

I was playing a lot of WWF No Mercy recently. Absolutely a gem of a game, it's very fun despite the wonky N64 control scheme. Kid me would've probably loved this game back in the day, but alas.
