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.

Rude to list transistor and hades but not Pyre

Pyre is basically Fantasy NBA Jam with a visual novel story that adapts to if you win or lose. Very good story. Very good art. Very good music. Very good game.

Don't forget about Supergiant's first game, Bastion. It's currently an absolute steal at 80% off.

Love the narrator in Bastion. One of my all time favorite soundtracks too!

The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. Even if you don't play the game, give the soundtrack a listen.

I am just adding my humble opinion but Pyre is the only SuperGiant game that I don't like.

I 'finished' it, in that I sent one of my homies back through the whatever, but I ran out of steam on the game shortly after. It's a lot of fun, still.

It definitely isn't for everyone, but it is a very solid game. Especially for the $4 they're charging on sale.
