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.

Anything good?

I'm hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.

Other than the side quests, how are you enjoying it? I adore the franchise overall, being a post apoc fan.

I really like the setting & combat, and it's a beautiful game, but in a lot of ways I think the focus on having a huge open world made the game underperform its potential (repetitive gameplay, annoying inventory management & unsatisfying gear progression, some uninspired location design outside of the really stellar key areas, underdeveloped characters & character design & voice acting). That said, I am enjoying it and I think the main questline and the Frozen Wilds expansion are really strong - FW really modernized the game in a lot of ways.
