A gaming sub 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.

Hey folks! Here's an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well... No. In fact, for some reason I can't really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.

I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.

Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and... oh boy, let's just say I'm a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.

Does anybody else have a game that they couldn't like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

I bounced hard off Outer Wilds. "Wtf am I meant to do. Why do I keep dying so stupidly. What is even the point." I had it on the Steam Deck, I finished Spiderman, decided to give it another shot but just focusing on exploring and enjoying the experience. I think it was finally when I solved a puzzle for the first time by learning and thinking instead of walking in and expecting quest markers to hold my hand. It changed everything, I would call it a top 10 game and I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time.
