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.

Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) revolutionized modern horror with a 3rd-person, over-the-shoulder camera, a memorable storyline that expanded the lore of the franchise with new and returning characters, and graphics that pushed the console to its limits. Its main critique was the action-oriented gameplay, with long stretches of gun-fights, but I've found plenty of moments that had me shivering from survival horror.
I got my hands on the recent remaster and it was a barrel of fun. Idk how well the horror translated from the original, but I couldn't put the controller down until 3 a.m. the first time I launched it. Also: Steam version worked out of the box on Arch, no fiddling.
I’ve played both versions. Theres maybe a few choice elements I liked from the original, but it was still a very good remake; actually kind of brought down the tongue-in-cheek elements a bit to feel more horror at times.
