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.

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

I beat Outer Wilds right after my first kid was born and it absolutely tore me to pieces.

Came to say Outer Wilds. That end moved me.

I don’t think I stopped thinking about that game for a solid three months after I beat it.

100%. Even in the general 'middle', every now and then, a few simple lines of text would just punch me right in the gut

Ahhh and the music too

BTW I would mark that as a spoiler, I know I wouldn't want to know even that there's something worth mentioning like this there

Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This, entirely. It's just one of those games that I can't get past. Truly a solid recommendation

Ctrl-F Outer Wilds

Ah yes, thank you for beating me to it. It's been years since I first played and I still think about it almost every day.
