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'm playing Alan Wake, never played it back in the day. I like Remedy's weirdness, but I'm finding the gameplay a bit repetitive.
It was much better than the competition when it first came out
It's worth sitting through as "homework" for the later games, in my opinion. It has some great moments still, and the story is interesting. But yeah, a bit too much clunky combat in similar-looking forests.
