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.

I spent about a year eyeing Gori: Cuddly Carnage from afar until I picked it up a few days ago thinking I'll just beat it in about 8~10 hours and go back to playing Homura Hime… I'm 17hrs in… beat the game and going for the 100% because it seemed very doable and the game is fun.
I don't even know who to recommend it to… technically speaking it is an action game, but does not play like any other action game I know. The platforming isn't exactly Tony Hawk Pro Skater/Jet Set Radio either… it's not even Rollerdrome… so IDK. It is fun though… just requires some suspension of belief and embracing it for what it is.
Okay, my curiosity is piqued. Indie games with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews that you can buy for a couple of dollars is like catnip to me. Probably won't play it any time soon but might snap it up on a future sale. I do like action games.
+1 for Gori I've just finished. It's really fun and quite pleasant gameplay with a good feeling of progression.
Also playing Metronomicon this week. Good game too. And star*vaders. Also great and challenging. What I like about these is you can play 5 minutes and continue later.
