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.

Just got horizon zero dawn (2017) on the steam sale and I am loving it. Only about 2 hours in. It’s been on my list to play for awhile. Glad I’m finally playing it.

It's a great game and the dlc is also a good story. Nothing else really has matched fighting giant robots with a bow and arrow tension.

Awesome! It came with the DLC as well. Looking forward to it.

It's pretty good.
It's not perfect, but I think it's one of the very few games where I read/listened most/all the various logs you find throughout the game.

Don't make the same mistake I did and think you can specialise in Spear only.

I didn't realise the game was all about the different bows and element types.

Spear is really only good for a few sneak attacks and finishing off weakened robots, but you won't be doing much sneaking about with the spear especially against packs and large robots.
