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 that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

I was just looking at sky on the Play store.

Have you played sky?

I'll have to go back and try their older games too.

Sky is wonderful but after you've played through it and explored around a bit, the content cycle is pretty obnoxious and requires you to really play damn near every day hardcore to unlock all the stuff in their season pass before it's gone. Fortunately 99.9% of it is purely cosmetic and the bits that aren't are just little toys, so you can easily just play it for the actual game content, which doesn't really go away.

Okay, cool.

I don't mind just playing around in it for a while to see what it's like, the company has certainly earned my interest in anything else they've created; I'm going to start with their older games first

I play it all the time. Its Journey with some FOMO, but they bring some items you missed back every other 2 weeks. Its my chill escape.

Which console do you play on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Phone and computer. "I run" my dailies on my phone and actually play on computer.

Okay, thanks, appreciate it

Not who you were replying ot but if you liked Journey I wager you'll love Sky as it is similar but bigger and more varied.

Edited to add: Flower and Flow were both great games as well. thatgamecompany.com are good at what they do.

I love playing Flower so much, it's my favorite calming game

Take a look at Bulwark, the Falconeer Chronicles. It's very calm.
