A gaming sub 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.

Finishing the DLC for Ghost of Tsushima.
Return of the Obra Dinn is by far the game I wish I could erase my memory of and experience again for the first time!
OpenRCT2. Finished the last of Wacky Worlds scenarios and the first Time Twister scenario last night. Continuing on the Time Twister scenarios tonight. Not quite speed running them but OpenRCT2's speed-up feature is pretty helpful when I'm just waiting for research or to earn enough money to build something.
I just picked up Red Dead Redemption 2. I am way behind the times and had just beaten BoTW. While I would love to jump into ToTK immediately, I'm going to give myself a brief break before I faceplant into another Zelda game.
Diablo IV, Elite: Dangerous, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Baba Is You.
Got Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, and although its fun ive got a lot of problems with the game. Its sad to see what 40k has become nowadays. In better knews, I usually play a lot of Battle Brothers and Vermintide 2. Oh, and sometimes my friends come over to play Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance 2. If you're looking for a good couch co-op game and you have a PS, try out Dark Alliance 2.
I've been playing Warhammer on the Return of Reckoning server. It holds up pretty well for an older game, and the pvp is fun. I've also been playing a little Diablo 2 and 7 Days to Die, with a soupcon of Civ IV
Finally picked back up A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS, inspired by watching SGDQ, after dropping out of it so long ago that I don't even remember how long ago that was. It's a total blast, even if I'm struggling to figure out exactly what I've already done and need to be doing.
Shin Megami Tensei 4. I had to take a break from TotK so I'm trying to finish a game I've been playing on and off for several years. Going for law ending.
I've been working through TWD Definitive Edition and an currently on New Frontier. So far, really enjoying it, but I already played the first couple games many years ago, so was quite confident I'd like the whole thing. Finished Episode 3 today!
Playing Crosscode on a recommendation from a previous post when I was looking for an SNES style action RPG. It checks almost all my boxes. Great 16 bit graphics with smooth modern physics, lots of action, fun characters, skill trees and fun items, puzzles, satisfying combat. I'm having a great time with it!!!
I've just started Snakebird which is a ridiculously difficult puzzle game that reminds me of Jelly no Puzzle - there's only a few options at any point so how have I spent so long repeating the same things to no avail?
There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension was brilliant fun, it shows lots of love for the kind of games I used to play.
It’s been a month without patience since TOTK dropped, and I am working on We Love Katamari Rerolled in between. Will likely resume my patience after I’m done with these but it might be another couple posts before that happens. Interested in what everyone else has been up to though and hoping to contribute to the community and increase engagement!
I’m starting to play subnautica for the first time! I’ve heard good things but I’m finding the start a little slow, the loop hasn’t quite got me invested yet.
Love return of the Obra Dinn. Hope you enjoy it!
sure hope you like having thalassophobia its a great game just be ready for some scares
Subnautica is one of my favorite games. I had to pause my playthrough though because I was so tense playing it, kept setting off my thalassophobia. They do an amazing job creating a feeling of isolation.
You're in for a treat then! I never got around to finish it (Subnautica) though. Some parts are just so scary & isolating that I stopped playing, the devs did an amazing job at that! 🔥
Halfway through Dishonored 2 ATM and loving it - feels a bit slicker and more polished than the original which I also adored. The game had a lot of issues with motion sickness in the past which prevented me from experiencing it.
Is the game enjoyable without playing the first one? Got it for free on PlayStation+ a few weeks ago but didn't want to miss on important details.
Difficult to say what it'd be like as a newcomer as I'm quite familiar with the world and characters.
The gameplay is slick as ever and I'd argue more fun than the first, but there's not much of a tutorial at the beginning - a fair amount of assumed knowledge is implied.
I'd say for the best experience, you should still play the first one as there's plenty of throwback in the second installment's story. They're very much married in that respect.
If you're curious, the first one must be quite cheap these days and well worth it in my opinion.
Playing Mass Effect 2 for the first time and loving it. By the time I make it through 3 it might be close to FFVII part two releasing
I somehow missed the entire Mass Effect trilogy, but claimed it on PS+ last year and am planning to run through it during a nice lull. 2023 has been insane so far and one of the few years I have barely been patient. Good chance I might be getting into that one around the holidays so I have a nice chunk of time to get through all 3.
I've been enjoying Minecraft: Dungeons with the kids.
How is it? I've never tried it before but it looks fun
It is! It's just hack and slash but a lot of variations keep things fun. There are several different game modes. And Mojang knows a thing or two about procedural generation so even the same levels stay interesting.
Might check it out sometime! Thanks!!
