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.

Any of the classic valve games (half life, portal, and their sequels). If auto shooters are your thing, vampire survivors is less than a small coffee. Dead space (the remake) is $15. Halo MCC is $10. Titanfall 2 is $3. The “new” tomb raider trilogy are all less than $5 each or get the bundle. Alan wake is $5. Prey is $3. And Batman Arkham origins is $2.

Just a handful of good games for cheap. There’s many more out there.

I wish Halo MCC had split screen on PC

there's a mod that works pretty well for that... nucleuscoop (it might have rebranded... haven't loaded it in a bit)

Bah, it's Windows only. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Lot of great suggestions here- I grabbed MCC myself. Was kinda stunned that it's... I think five games ranging from absolutely era defining (at least for me) to solid games. For $10 I'm not sure that can be beat.

Prey is awesome. I recently finished it after getting it in de the summer sale. Highly recommend!

I got the new Tomb Raider games free on Epic, but it seemed more like torture porn than a game. Had to turn it off.

lol, yeah. The animators definitely have a kink. They're still pretty fun games, though.

There were certain "sudden death" sequences I had to repeat a couple times and the torture porn aspect is an issue there.
