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.

Started Metroid Fusion for GBA. So far so good.

Gran Turismo 4 continues. That holds up remarkably well with upscaling.

Still playing through Hollow Knight..... Neglecting Silksong for this.

You are not neglecting it, you are preparing for it! After having finished Silksong just yesterday: you definitely want to finish HK first. Trust me. For gameplay reason, because Silksong doesn't has a tutorial and starts difficulty wise at 70 % of HK endgame difficulty. And for lore reasons too.

I know GBA audio quality can be questionable, but I feel like Fusion's soundtrack adds a lot to the game's atmosphere. Worth playing with the sound on. Great game.

Haven't gotten deep enough into it for the soundtrack to stand out particularly yet......but looking forward to it.

I'm doing the same with HK, feels correct to finish before silksong.

Please see my other post related to this.

I always come back to sts. It's such a phenomenal game. It's not my favourite but I've told several people that it might be the best game ever made. The balance feels so well tuned.

Sometimes I get bored of it for a bit but I can't help but come back to it eventually.

Roguelites are my jam. The only thing that pulled me away from STS was Balatro. Now Into The Breach on my phone has pulled me away from Balatro.

Way too many great games out there. Way too little time for them.

I played a bit of into the breach. I find the greater constraints to be a bit too limiting. But it is very fun.

You should consider checking out tactical breach wizards. Plays similar to into the breach but it felt more fun for me.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.
