Patient Gamers

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.

Not sure how patient it is, because I ordered the physical console version ASAP. But I just got my copy of UFO 50, everyone's favorite new-old game compilation from yesteryear.

I've tried about 10 of the games so far, all very interesting. Some I really enjoy, some feel like they've intentionally added too many rough edges to make them feel retro.

Barbuta seems such an interesting one, but I really wish the character was just a little more fun to move and control.
