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.

Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

Ah. I initially bought outer worlds, which kinda sucks, and then outer wilds. Meh. I still haven't finished it but it's on my todo.

Planescape torment is the best game I've ever read. Or the best book if ever played. Something like that. And I've played a lot of visual novels, and admittedly some get close. A must play seriously.

Disco Elysium is also great and certainly worth playing.
