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.

Just picked these up, an hour or so in and I see why they are highly acclaimed. 80% off on Steam (came to less than CAD$5 for both).

I had the opposite. I played it about 6 months after release, I'd heard all the "the cake is a lie" memes, but somehow I hadn't heard that song and it caught me totally by surprise at the end of the game. It was such a good experience.

The portal 2 song is good too, but nothing like the feeling of beating the first game and hearing Still Alive.

AKSHULLY Portal 2 featured two original songs: Want You Gone by JoCo, and Exile Vilify by The National.

The tiny piece of opera when ascending the elevator at the end of 2 truly moved me. Only game ever I've shed a tear on.
