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.

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

Minecraft
Furi
Mario 64
Super Mario World
GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

The only 10+ years old game I still return to for significant lengths of time is Guild Wars 2. Yeah yeah I know, it's not a single player game, but as far as I am concerned it might as well be. Also I return when there is new content, so I might be cheating there.

Every now and then I return to Magicka and then stop playing after enough crashes. Renegade Ops is also a favorite of mine (did a complete playthrough on Steam Deck last year). It's been a while since my last run of Crysis but I really enjoy replaying it (just the first game though, the sequels did not do the same for me), spicing up the experience with a couple of mods.

I play WoW like that. Just follow the storyline in quests for whatever character/race I feel like running as an alt. I might come across other people as I play, but I don’t play with anyone.
