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 finally finished Abiotic Factor, and yup. I need more story and places to explore already. And I haven't even done everything there is to do yet.
I've also been playing some more Enshrouded. Finally got to the mountains, and now I just need to make some warm armor. I probably need to take a day or two to expand my main base, as it's getting a little cramped. I have pretty much all the crafters and some villagers in the main building with all their stations shoved into different corners, but my farmers actually have a house that I built for them with a separate bedroom upstairs.
Playing though Abiotic Factor with some friends right now ang it's awesome :3
Hell yeah. I spent a few hours playing with some friends too, all the way back when Labs was the farthest you could go.
I just saw the news of a new Enshrouded update yesterday and thought about trying it again. Did they change the build system in recent months? While I enjoyed discovering the map, I somehow found the building lacking. My benchmark is the Valheim build system, that is the sweet spot for me. What I crave for is a "survival" game with a Valheim build system AND a reason to build castles/villages/whatever. That is what Enshrouded did well with those characters.
Wow, I love both but I feel the building in Enshrouded is way deeper than Valheim. Sure there aren't as many "specialized" pieces like beams and arches and such, there are ways to get around it or use other decorative objects. Which this game has an absolute shitload of decorations, kinda like Conan Exiles. There are tons of chairs, beds, candles, flowers, plates and dishes; even cabinets for certain items you can find while exploring, and tons of shelves.
The world is pretty massive too, with tons of verticality. Like if you were to go as high up as you can and fall straight down, you'd probably be falling for like a minute or so.
