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.

The DOOM reboot from 2016. Grabbed it on sale for a few dollars and it's quite fun
It's pretty comforting how straightforward it is. You just go blasting. After the main story, replaying levels in arcade mode is also good fun.
Agreed. It is horrendously violent, yet almost cozy? I mean, sure there's a bunch of demons running amok and jumping out at you, but there's a great comfort when one's wielding a chainsaw lubed with the blood of their fallen comrades. Like a big blanket of purring kittens. Cozy.
No moral dilemmas, no romancing, just good ol' fashioned rip n' tearing 'til it's done.
