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.

Dear patient lemmings, I am in need of your help. I'm searching for games that have some GOD DAAMN OSTs and come with a great story or/and gameplay.

Games that tick these requirements for me:

  • Danganronpa 1/2/V3 + Ultra Despair Girls (most recently finished)
  • Persona 4/5 (waiting for Persona 3 remaster)
  • NFS Most Wanted (2005, 2012), Carbon, ProStreet
  • Doom 2016, Eternal
  • Test Drive Unlimited 2
  • Life is Strange
  • Ace Combat 7
  • Omori
  • ULTRAKILL

  • Hollow knight (OST + gameplay)

Caveats with hollow Knight story: you won't know a lot about the story until you watch mossbag videos after getting to one of the endings.

  • Hades (OST + gameplay + story)
  • Genshin (OST + gameplay + story)

Caveats with genshin gameplay: only the exploration and some quests are good. All other gameplay should be ignored (or doused with fire). The exploration is actually one of the best open world exploration I've played, and I've played Witcher 3, botw, AC: black flag, arkham series, and more.

Caveats with genshin story (context: currently on version 4.0+):

  • Side stories released on or after 2.0 are good.
  • Main stories released on or after 3.0 are good.
  • All other stories are generic af and Paimon is annoying.

similar to genshin: Honkai

the music specifically in the animated shorts is so good

Definitely gonna try Hades, since 2 people already mentioned it prior to you. Actually I'm a sorta genshin regular, and the OST is an absolute masterpiece. Dragonspine is probably my fav. Which region is your fav in terms of OST?

Sumeru, tho I haven't played much Fontaine yet.

Can't argue with that. In some way it reminds me when I started genshin initially with Monstadt's soothing ost.
