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.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon. If it's currently on sale, a link to the sale & price would be great.

Astroneer was a really nice and sweet space adventure that I would definitely recommend to casual players, the mechanics are simple to understand and it let's you take your own pace to discover and figure out it's world and progress through the stories scattered about the universe

Recently got an update to tweak world settings to make it easier or harder, like removing the need for oxygen and all, and with how tactile everything feels, this might also be a nice recommendation to a younger audience too!

It's a bit expensive (30eur for us Europeans) and still has a few major bugs like structures falling through thin floors on save load and stuff but overall was a great experience for me and my BF to run through

I enjoyed Astroneer as a casual exploration game. It also played well in co-op (4 players).

Note: the Steam and Microsoft Store versions do not have crossplay unless you rent a dedicated server from one of the two official providers (which does bump it up to 8 players at least)
