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 feel like Doom or Quake are cop outs here, but they are perennial replays, and they have some great horror aesthetics

Hexen for a change?

I wish the Hexen weapons felt more satisfying. They just pale in comparison to the Doom arsenal, with the meaty crown jewel being the double shotgun

They certainly sound satisfying, but definitely can't beat Doom in terms of utility or power fantasy.

I do love the audio and visuals and vibe and just overall everything of HeXen a lot. It's not as pick-up-and-play-able as the Doom, but it's a great suggestion. Been a while since I did a replay, too...
