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!

These are the games that came to mind:

  • The Last of Us

  • Life is Strange

  • Final Fantasy X

  • Another recommendation for the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead

Hopefully you haven't played these already.

Life is Strange for sure. Idk what it is but I was emotional for days after finishing it. Wasn't a huge fan of the others in the series but I can't recommend the first one enough

Same, it was the first game that ever made me cry, and honestly opened me up for crying on other stuff.

Same! I played it as it was being released in 2015 (I think?) and I still find myself thinking about it every now and then. Such an experience.

I played Before the Storm and True Colours but they just couldn't compare to the first game so I'm not a big fan of them either.

I liked True Colors as well.
