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.

Outer wilds. It can be longer for some but finishing it in a single sitting or two it hits best. A deep emotional experience that you can only ever truly experience truly the first time. So avoid spoilers at all costs.
Also Firewatch
Was gonna say Outer Wilds as well. It's such an amazing experience and kind of made me rethink what video games can be as art and just... an experience. Can be finished really quick though for me it took a good chunk of time.
I'll also reiterate, don't look up spoilers. The game is so much about exploration and discovery that going in blind is best.
It truly is something special. Every time it’s on sale I end up buying a key and giving it to somebody I know just so they can experience it.
Sometimes I feel a bit silly with how much and how often I recommend this game, but it truly is something special.
I got the soundtrack on vinyl just recently and listening to it is like microdosing the game.
That and Ellis doing recaps of YouTubers and Twitch Streamers let’s plays
Those Eelis videos gives me life. I went and watched the entire About Oliver play through after seeing the highlights.
Two fantastic recommendations
