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 finished all the achievements on Wayfinder. I really enjoyed it for what it is. It's clear from some things that they ran out of budget/time to really smooth all the edges. What is there though is a fun action RPG with beautiful art, pretty satisfying progression and combat, and a decent roster of characters to play.
I haven't been sure what to play next but I just started Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Not sure about the parry/dodge system, it seems pretty anti-fun but I'll give it a couple more hours.
If that doesn't work out, I think I'll start on the Yakuza games. I have Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon, not sure which I'll go for first.
I've been holding off on wayfinder because people told me to play if with friends like a local WoW server. How does it hold up solo?
I played it entirely solo and had no issues with the highest difficulty dungeons or world bosses. I imagine it'd be a blast to play with other people but if you start on your own you can create another save slot to play with friends or just use a character you haven't leveled up yet.
Wayfinder is very playable solo.
You'll still probably only like it if you liked World of Warcarft, I imagine. It's a clear (and very nice) tribute.
