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 just went through what's on sale, I didn't verify the release dates or anything.

Kerbal Space Program is a great time. It's the kind of game where it either grabs you and doesn't let go, or you'll drop it pretty fast.

I liked Sunless Sea, but then you really just have to give a game an Eldritch aesthetic and I'll probably be there for it.

The Escapists is a neat game to play with some friends.

Fallout 4 has some flaws, especially if you're a fan of the previous games, but it's a decent game anyways.

KSP is still the best 'build an entire space program' sim, now that KSP2 has erm, failed to launch, or maybe suffered a RUD... and KSP 1 now has a decade of quite frankly astonishing expansive mods.

Try KSP Realism Overhaul and Principa if you want to up the difficulty a bit, lol.

I actually thought kerbal was a bit older. Maybe it was the years of early access or something

Very first public version in 2011, Steam Early Acces in 2013, release in 2015.
