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.

What games did you get down with over the holiday weekend? (lemmy.world)

Hello fellow patient gamers!

Bit US centric, but I had the day off for memorial day. I was in the mood to catch up on my steam deck wear and tear with a good round of Civ5 BNW. I have had the long term goal of beating it on deity. Did not get there and the game might be lost due to runaway civ, but slim chance of turtleing down and going for a science victory.

Any games that you are still getting use out of while you wait for sales or for something new to drop?

The wife and I gave Elden Ring a try finally. Actually did not like it.

Decided to stop waiting for the summer sale and get into Ender Magnolia instead, since we loved the first one. I think we’re more a Metroidvania household than a Soulslike anyway.

Are you guys familiar with the metroidvanias community on here?

Have y'all tried Hollow Knight? It is pure art.

Hollow Knight is one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played. Its vibe is immaculate and its mechanics are fine-tuned to perfection. It’s fair to credit that game as the thing that finally made my wife into an enthusiastic gamer.
