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.

I'm most likely gonna continue with Split Fiction, and try Aliens: Dark Descent and continue with Sea of Stars, now that I got a complimentary Game Pass subscription for a bit.

SF is still... mostly cinematic. The gameplay still feels generally basic, like a dash of Zelda-like puzzle.

However, if you appreciate incredible camera work and design, it continues to thrill with awesome interactions that ITT pioneered, such asthe Parking Attendant; one player entering and the other coordinating with the havoc the interior player wreaks is just awesome. The flying-car sequences looked like they could have been straight out of a movie (both navigating across multiple ones and riding in one).
I have reservations about SF's too-corny/tropey dialogue, but hopefully it'll improve as we dig into Mio's past.
