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.

That’s pretty cool! I never heard of it before but it’s on my Wishlist now. I’m definitely curious to check it out.

Its great! It will not hesitate to kill you until you learn it.

Binding of Isaac has a bit of invincibility after every hit, and that works for the game really well. You need to be able to recover and not die immediately.

Noita has no invincibility frames like that. You need to be able to die immediately. An instant death is essential for the game tone and balance.

I have no issues with dying repeatedly to learn a game. The modern FromSoftware catalogue are my favourite games ever. Maybe it’ll go on sale during the steam summer sale in a few days and I can pick it up then.
