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.

Games with characters you miss most after completion. (sh.itjust.works)

It's a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away.

Are there any games where you experienced similar? While it can be a bitter sweet feeling, I know that it is a sign that I really enjoyed what I was playing and love to find these experiences.

Pyre by Supergiant gets you like this with all the characters you help out of exile. It’s really a great visual novel held back from wider appeal due to their unique sport gameplay mechanic. But if you enjoy anything supergiant, you should enjoy it.

Absolutely wonderful game that was criminally underrated.

Agreed. The story was masterful to me. I don’t play narrative heavy stuff without gameplay to carry it but I could not get enough. Read every word
