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.

Two of my all-time favourite games. Both are probably top 10
You’re in for a treat. Both great games
Resident Evil Village and Sniper Elite 4
The first has some really cool environments and storytelling. I heard it was "like a shooter" and so I put it to maximum difficulty right away. I have to say I am not a fan of having to empty several pistol magazines into the head of the first enemy I encounter and they... survive. When murder becomes a chore, it kinda takes the fun out of it. So I lowered the difficulty setting.
The second... is as bad as the one before it. Just put it to maximum difficulty and yolo your way trough all levels. Or don't, it doesn't matter. Enemies are insanely slow. You can always walk up to some nazi's, sip your tea, then remember you should find cover because one enemy just finished their tiktok doom scrolling and decides to aim their gun at you.
I'm working my way through Valheim. I started last year and then stopped shortly before fighting the second boss and never got around to picking it back up. Now I'm back at it and working through the third biome. I still have a long way to go and hope that I can continue to sink at least 100 more hours into it.
I also got Metro 2033 and Last Light on the Steam winter sale. I started Metro Exodus a few years ago and also stopped pretty early, so I'm hoping that this time I can stick with it through the whole series. I also got Grim Dawn and it doesn't play great on the Deck, but hopefully I'll be able to get used to it with a bit of effort.
Outside of those, Wildermyth and Brotato are my main chillout games and I'm pretty sure they'll also get 50-100 hours each this year.
Playing through the entire Dragon Age series, then Pillars of Eternity and Sea of Stars.
Yakuza 3. Probably for the 3rd time as well because there was too much time since I played and lost track of the plot.
Nice! I just finished that game and it was quite fun. It wasn't my favorite, but the whole orphanage thing gave it a very emotional angle.
Continuing my replay of Red Dead Redemption 1, probably followed by 2. Probably going to finish my replay of Subnautica. Not sure what new games will slot in after that.
Having never played rdr1, do you still recommend it, knowing I played through rdr2 already? I'm wondering if I should put it on my wishlist to pick it up at a sale or not even bother.
Lord of the rings return to moria. It's basically been a valve in but with dwarves. Loving it.
Got 5 days left to finish Indiana Jones before the GamePass subscription times out.
I am currently playing ORAS, BOTW and Rayman Legends, after finishing at least one of them I'll start with Metroid Zero Mission for once, to break that nightmare deal I did to myself of not playing more metroidvanias until I get to finish Super Metroid and SOTN!
Return to Moria has been really fun! Playing online with my buddy all day the last two days.
Pretty slow moving for a survival/crafting game, but we're both big Tolkien fans and the fan service is pretty great.
Boss fights have been quite interesting and when progression finally happens it feels really satisfying.
I've been playing Sonic Frontiers, which has been surprisingly fun. It has a similar vibe to what "Mario Odyssey" did for mario, the mixture of 3D, camera controlled, and 2D segments was done well in my opinion.
Personally, I actually gave it a negative review. The exploration generally is very fun, but so much of the levels, activities, combat ranged from unimpressive to infruriating. It's basically carried by just being open-world Sonic, which is a formula for success.
I actually enjoyed the open-world HUB of Shadow Generations, and the game as a whole, much more. In fact, that game probably set my expectations too high, even knowing Frontiers was infamously janky.

Elden Ring’s expansion! I failed the tree boss multiple times, with help.
Noe, Class of ‘09: the Re-Up!
Good luck! I absolutely loved SotE
It’s so hard! I love it.
Make sure that's the last class of 09 game you play. Do not. Play Flip side.
Ahhhh I’m so sad to hear the third game isn’t good, especially after the hilarious short anime episode. I will still play it but my expectations are set hahaha
Hopped back into Octopath (the first one) after finishing Sea of Stars. It's a honker of a game haha I feel like it's going to take me a while.
I'm still playing Warband
Psychonauts 2. I picked it up for 80% off during the autumn Steam sale and just getting around to playing it.
I also picked up It Takes Two and have been playing that with my wife.
