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've been playing Axiom Verge, it feels like the platonic ideal of metroid. I've cleared almost 90% of the map so I've got to imagine I'm close to finishing.

I've been suprised by how much I enjoy the lore. You can find notes hidden around that expand on the story and I get more excited stumbling on one of those than finding a new powerup.

I liked that one a lot, but I didn't dedicate enough attention to it. I need to play it again and then try the sequel.

Such an awesome game.

I still have the soundtrack in my (very selective) music library.
