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.

A lot of games I've had on my wishlist are at all time low price now, so I wanted to share (I have not played these games):

Heaven's Vault - I've seen it recommended as similar to the Outer Wilds - 5.49 EUR

Doom Eternal - 3.99 EUR

Pistol Whip - VR rhythm shooter - 12.49 EUR

shapez - great automation game (this one I have played and highly recommend if you like the genre) - 0.78 EUR

New-ish games that you can be more patient about:

shapez 2 - 3d successor to the game above - 13.47 EUR

Ghost of Tsushima - 29.92 EUR

Cyclopean: The Great Abyss - Lovecraftian cRPG with very retro graphics - 7.80 EUR

Static Dread: The Lighthouse - Lovevcraftion "Papers please" - 9.59 EUR

The Horror at Highrook - an occult card crafting narrative RPG, ofc Lovecraftian - 12.94 EUR

Little Witch in the Woods - cute casual witch simulator - 11.96 EUR

This list doesn't cover games I've already bought as I do not track their prices.

Are there any games you'd recommend?

Hell yeah! Thank you so much.

Then there's eternal classics like Stardew Valley, Balatro, Terraria,FTL, Into the Breach, Slay the Spire or Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

Did you check my installed games? Sure, I've replaced FTL with Void War (same game tbh) and play Slay the Spire on my phone (and laptop via screen mirroring) but that list is ~80% of what I'm looking to move on from!

I've found success with static backgrounds and turn-based games. I have made due with 1600x90 at 50% texture rendering for CK3 but that's different. I'm not sure if they're on sale but for the sake of listing more laptop friendly games: Across the Obelisk, For the King, Tales of Maj'eyal, Loop Hero and Project Zomboid do well.

Minecraft and Rimworld depends on modlist. I tried to downsize my 150-odd Rimworld mods and ended up with 200, c'est la vie.

Will investigate you list tonight and keep you posted!
