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 feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.
That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.
I was absolutely entranced.
Yes!!! The only* game I've played start to finish in one sitting. The entire experience had me riveted. RIVETED.The aesthetic was perfect. The visuals, sound, music, art design, fiction! So good!
*okay I guess other than You Have to Burn the Rope.
Couldn't agree more. Riveted.
I'm actually listening to the soundtrack right now.
I hadn't heard of you have to burn the rope, but I just looked it up and that's very funny.
Still one of my favourite sounds tracks to any game.
I was floating on air by the time I heard the end credits song, and when her voice kicked in it was epiphanic
Eh, looks artsy which is fine if that's what you're into.
I dig art
It made me a better person.
If that is meant literally, how did it make you a better person?
I appreciated the combined poetry of something so much it made me more tolerant and optimistic and excited about life and people on the whole.
Turned the dial.
It left a permanent mark on me. I love it so fucking much.
I am right there with you. I feel like I've discovered a type of game altogether that I need to pursue.
I've been playing video games for about 30 years and this is hands down one of the best games I've ever played.
Edit: other noteworthy mentions - outer wilds, the original ps2 amplitude, and NieR Automata are some other stand out masterpieces of my life.
I dig outer wilds, I'm writing down the other two now, thanks.
Journey was unbelievable.
I literally could not believe how caught up I was in it while enjoying the entire ride.
I'm sad that they had to monetize sky the way they did to keep the service up. It's clearly what they wanted out of journey but couldn't accomplish the first go. If you like journey, play sky, children of the light
It's the one game I would suggest hands down to anyone to play. From non-games on up. The game is a short masterpiece and one of a very few to elicit an emotional reaction out of me. I cannot sing it's praises enough.
I am definitely sharing a boat with you.
