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 just tried it yesterday with a friend. Survival/crafting game in the LoTR universe. Okay for an evening, not sure we'll spend much more time on it, but for what we paid, it was definitely fun.

Completely noob tip: hammers are not considered weapons, only swords are. Learned that the hard way when we spent all of our iron on hammers to discover those were only used to build, and not attack.

That's strange... I don't see it. I'll check out epic.

Didn't this game come out this summer? Sometimes, we don't even need to be that patient, it seems!

Ah, I looked at the Steam release, not realizing it was an Epic exclusive

Ah, makes sense!

I've been playing this for a couple days now, I'm absolutely loving it.

Right when I think the game is done it's hit me with six more features and a bunch more stuff I can unlock. Plus I'm a LotR nerd so the plot is interesting.

Also, the mining songs are amazing and I love that.
