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.

Favourite patient modern game? (lemmy.world)

A bit of a weird title, but basically what’s a game that’s more than a year old but still considered “modern” that you love? There’s no real strict definition for modern, I’d just like to see some discussion around great games that aren’t quite classics yet (but probably will be one day).

The nature of this community typically attracts discussion around decade-old games (which is what I mostly play too), but I’d like to see some newer (but not too new) games on this post.

I'm not sure if this counts because it's >10 years old, but also still developed:

Europa Universis IV

It's like this game was built exactly for what I like most in games.

But for something more in the spirit of your question, I'll go with Manifold Garden. I love M. C. Escher, and this feels like a puzzle game in one of his worlds.

I wouldn't expect to see EU4 here, but I must vouch for it—once it clicks it is engaging, thrilling, and addictive. I just wish there was a better way to get all the dlc. And a better UI lol
