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 played

Sanctum 2, a fun mix of FPS and tower defense. There still are some active players, although it might take a while to get a full 4 player game.

And 3 new games which don't fit the community rulesTiny Glade is a really nice relaxing game to turn your imagination into reality and build small castles and medieval towns. Hopefully they expand the contents, but even now it was really fun to just experiment a bit.

Age of Mythology: Retold still is fun to me, although I don't play it as a serious PvP game, but rather to have fun together with a friend and relive our old LAN games together.

Still wakes the Deepis freshly installed, but couldn't yet play it, probably on the weekend.

Tiny glade was interesting. I only played the demo, & it was enjoyable for a half hour or so, but I kind of ran through everything & it didn't seem like there was enough content to justify buying the full game or playing more.

I also felt like there wasn't enough ability to customize different aspects, like I could place flowers but couldn't choose how they're arranged within that space.

Did you play the full release or just the demo?

I played only the full game and not the demo. As far as I heard about it, the demo had all elements of the full game just a smaller area to work in. If you think the demo was not fulfilling enough, I don't think the full game will satisfy you.

It definitely is a game where you need to set goals for yourself. It is better described as a program than a game, because it is not objective driven at all, but simply gives you the possibility to build scenes.

Makes sense. Thanks for the additional info!

I do love games that are essentially just building simulators. For example, I love playing sims 4 exclusively to build and decorate. I mostly found tiny glade lacking in options and customization. Maybe they'll expand and refine it though & in a few years I can try the game out again :)
