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.

No Man’s Sky is down to $23.99. I remember the launch was poor but they kept working on it and improving it. I picked it up a couple years ago on Xbox and have enjoyed it

NMS was such a mixed bag for me. I spent over a hundred hours on it yet still walked away wondering what there was to do in the game.

It is way more of an enjoyable experience now than it was on launch. I just still find it sort of flawed on a core level. The exploration is clearly supposed to be a primary focus of the game, but I just find it incredibly bland after a bit. After I finished with that, I don't really know what to do with the game aside from.. keep flying around trying to find something worth finding.

I put 40hrs into it. I don't regret that, but I also have zero interest in continuing to play it past that.
