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.

Another week, another recommendations thread.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon.

Sniper elite 4 for $6 (5 is good too, and $20) is everything I wanted MGSV to be. It's its own game so the stealth mechanics are different (sound is a major factor), and the gunplay is much more reliant on sniper rifles (though I use a silenced pistol a lot too, plus melee takedowns), but it's every bit comparable in terms of an excellent stealth engine with responsive, engaging AI. Where it shines is that unlike metal gear, which was forced out before it was populated, the mission areas are huge and jam packed with enemy action. If the ground zeroes map was a little bigger and built out into a full game, that's how Sniper Elite feels.

Also, because they can, you can snipe grenades off of enemies to explode them, and they'll chain to other environmental explosives (I haven't seen this in 5; not sure if they removed it or I just haven't noticed an enemy with a grenade on them), and the sniping is extremely satisfying with slow-motion x-rays of the body parts hit (also can be turned off) and good physics based on bullet drop, wind, velocity, etc.

I just started Final Fantasy 7R, it’s my first Final Fantasy, and I‘m really enjoying it so far!

Currently in Act 3, really like the world and characters so far.

Assassin's Creed Unity, mods and modern PCs fix almost all the issues the game had on launch. The remaining problem is the render distance still being a lot shorter than a modern PC can manage.

I recently got a new phone and was looking for some new games, out of the handful I downloaded that looked interesting* I got in to Alto's Odyssey the most, and have been playing that more than any of my other games this week. I actually just had my best run so far!

*Was looking for something similar to Sky: Children of the Light, which I really really loved (and I generally hate having other real players in my game unless it's like a board game, but strangers just helping each other out was nice) until I started getting chased by dragons and drowning and shit and it wasn't fun anymore. If anyone has suggestions for anything that feels as chill and friendly as that game, that's a beautiful world to explore with some goals (so not like Wilderless, which is nice but gets old quick) but nothing too competitive or stressful (and just for android, my pc is in need of an upgrade and couldn't handle much lol), let me know!

Thanks for the recommendation, definitely not a game I would have considered if I was scrolling past it, but will give it a try!
