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.

Linear, action hidden gems like The Red Star? (piefed.social)

I'm looking for action hidden gems, preferably scripted and linear—no open world or procuderal generation (roguelike, roguelike-like, or roguelite)

Some of my "usual suspects" favorites are Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand, and Ninja Gaiden II. On the shmup/twin-stick shooter side: Crimzon Clover, Ketsui, and Assault Android Cactus+.

I also love Catherine, so I wouldn't mind some puzzle thrown in there.

As nonlinear as I can go: The Deadly Tower of Monsters.

glad I could help, if I remember anything else I might chime in once more

Aces Wild is an exhausting game. I actually need to take a break after playing for 15min or so due to how high octane it is. But its a damn good game.

Brigador, as I mentioned, is no unga bunga action game. You might think at first you're a big warrior riding on their mech, but a few sudden defeats will humble you and set your mindset into what the game actually is about - strategic war crimes.
