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.

Shantae and The Pirate's Curse. This weeb game showed up in my GOG library for free somehow, so I thought I'd install it so I can decide that I hate it, uninstall and move on. The problem is I love it because it's a great fucking game. Casual platforming, metroidvania elements, bangin' ass soundtrack, every character has giant tits for no reason. I recommend it!

The Shantae series are some great metroidvanias with a lot of sass. Definite recommendation.

That said, Pirate's Curse is my favorite of the bunch; the gameplay is just so satisfyingly smooth.
