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'll be playing work ๐Ÿฅฒ

Besides that I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don't know if remakes count on this sub).

Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the "tutorial".

Noita is so neat!

It's like if someone made a roguelike out of those sand physics flash games that were popular when I was younger.

Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it's sawblades and nukes.

Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I've only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).

If I could mindwipe one videogame and replay it, it's 100% gotta be Outer Wilds.

I have seen Noita recommended so many times for deep/complex games or games with a cool magic system.

I have also never fired and bought it because I don't tend to like roguelikes and I hear it can be very frustrating, though some mods help with that. Not sure if I should buy.

(Or I could just see if a friend would let me try theirs first :P)
