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‘ve completed Cyber Hook and I can‘t recommend it enough. Screw the story, the gameplay loop and movement is what it‘s all about. It‘s an absolute hidden gem, hands down. I strongly recommend everyone to give it a shot!
I‘ve also been playing some Horizon Chase Turbo and while I think it‘s pretty unique nowadays and runs great on the Deck, it‘s a bit too fast-paced for the small screen in the higher difficulty levels. Still recommend it though.
Lastly, I‘ve done some further quests in Assassin‘s Creed: Unity and I remember reading here that the movement reached perfection in this title and while it might be the best movement in the series (I dunno), I think the movement’s absolutely terrible lol, and the combat is worse still. Everything is so inprecise and slow, the character jumps to ledges I didn‘t even think about and takes ages to climb even when pursued or flatout refuses to climb something for five seconds… And I still don‘t know why AC had to turn into these permanent tavern brawls, stealth seems to be impossible, I‘m now resorting to just smoke bombing and cleaning up every fight. I do enjoy the sightseeing and world but man… I liked Origins more as a game. I won‘t pretend like I‘m an AC god, but other entries in the franchise clicked with me more (2, Black Flag, Origins).
I’ve never heard of Cyber Hook before but it looks awesome. I’m definitely picking it up. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve added Horizon Chase Turbo to my Wishlist, and downloaded the demo. I’ll probably check it out soon.
Horizon, if you enjoy it has an F1 dlc mode that I think is even more fun than the base game
Duly noted, thanks.
