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 think I‘m almost done, minus the rushes. I kinda dread handing in all the gifts cause the dialogue‘s been pretty bad but I also kinda wanna read it now that I’ve collected them all lol
SCARLET NEXUS
I can‘t really recommend it. It runs kinda poor for essentially looking like a PS4 game and the game’s whole movement and combat feels insanely awkward and clunky. The story‘s ok but yeah. I like anime games but this one‘s a stinker in my book. The systems just aren‘t coming together.
Deathloop
I don‘t really have an opinion yet (outside of the game seemingly randomly enabling/disabling settings like vsync for me). I‘m still confused about most stuff and haven‘t found my groove yet. Dishonored‘s for sure better though. But this might be alright. We need more immersive sims honestly.
I was able to do some mildly fun stuff in it: https://video.hardlimit.com/w/nC1rdALiLqD5F4cxUhg26D
But I agree: it's an odd blend that doesn't exactly end up feeling like a satisfying action game or a satisfying RPG… and it's too damn grindy… some parts are just corridors full of enemies with giant health bars over and over again.
I didn't enjoy NieR either, but it's a better action RPG than Scarlet Nexus, for sure.
Neon White
I wasn't really a fan of the gift aspect either and I agree the cut scene doalog is kinda lame. I fast forwarded through these segments, but completed all gifts to get the secret ending.
Deathloop
I thought this game was interesting until the overarching narrative revealed itself then I was hooked. The narrative is intentionally obscured. Give it some more time to unravel and I hope you see the same gem that I did.
