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.

Cheap all-time-low price tag games (according to SteamDB) that I‘ve played myself and can recommend:
Slime Rancher
Broforce
My Friend Pedro
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Poly Bridge 2 (also the first one)
Clustertruck
Risk of Rain (the old one)
The Swapper
Rogue Legacy
McPixel 3 (also the first one)
Overcooked (also the second one)
Party Hard
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince (and other series entries)
Train Valley
Minit
All of these are of varying genres so probably most of them aren‘t everyone‘s cup of tea, but maybe one or two are gems that you hadn’t heard about yet. List isn‘t conclusive, obviously, but I don‘t wanna spam too much.
Train Valley is surprisingly good. I like the combination of a geometry puzzle, planning which train to run when and real time pressure (you can pause, but you still have to multitask a lot).
