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.

Same, 80% of my gaming was on older releases. The only game I played released in 2025 was an indie TD game called Dungeon Warfare III, mostly because I played and loved I and II.

Count me in. The only 2025 game I got is THPS3+4 which is a remaster of a 2 decade old game(s). The only reason I got this game is because I was a hardcore fan of THPS series and my favorite one was 3 on PC.

Dungeon Warfare is a great tower defense series, just like you i can only recommend it - haven't tried the third one yet tho.
