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 know we're already in February, but what are you looking forward to playing this year?

I am currently limited to my PS4 and an older laptop as far as big-screen gaming is concerned, and I am going to be playing some sequels:

  • The Witcher II - The 3rd part is more famous but I hear 2 has the better story. I am also one of those who really enjoyed part 1!
  • Pillars of Eternity 2 - the first one was so good I can't wait
  • Red Dead Redemption II - which I got for my birthday. It is absolutely HUGE. RDR1 is in my all-time favorite games list.

As for handheld gaming, I have recently gotten a Nintendo DS Lite and a PSP so I will be playing some:

  • Deadeus - a 2D horror game that someone recommended on this thread

  • Final Fantasy Tactics funnily enough, I never played this! I did enjoy the GBA version a lot though.

  • Jeanne D'Arc apparently it is one of the PSP's best titles.

As someone with a lot of IRL obligations, I will be very happy if I make it through this list.

What is on your list?

There's no way I'm finishing them all in 1yr, but these are currently on the list (PC/Steam Deck):

  • Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
  • Subnautica
  • American Truck Simulator
  • Fallout: New Vegas
  • Stardew Valley
  • The Witcher 3
  • Slay the Spire
  • Terraria

Be careful with Subnautica. I lost 75 hours of my life in the blink of an eye to that game. It's easily one of the best survival horror adventure games ever made.

Terraria is also up there. Once you play it you never really need to try another side scrolling 2D Minecraft like game again.

I'm about to finish F:NV soon. Took me a while and was a great experience so far. Except for Old World Blues DLC which I really disliked and Honest Hearts (the Zion one) which kept crashing constantly for me so I had to skip it. Otherwise really good and really better than bethesdas F3, true to what everyone said.

I got NV modded up through the Viva New Vegas guide, so hopefully that fixes the crashes for me. Figuring out how to mod it on linux was surprisingly easy too, thanks to the MO2 linux installer on github.
