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 games were so good you completed them in one sitting? (sh.itjust.works)

I.e., games that hooked you in and you couldn't stop playing until it was finished. Not games that just happened to be unexpectedly short. And by "completed" I guess I mean the main story etc, not 100%ing the game :).

For me, it would be Catherine, Bioshock Infinite and Black Mesa (although I think I got to the final area then had to go to sleep and complete it the next day). I also played an ungodly amount of Hades in one sitting, but didn't get the "full" ending in one day.

I first played Infinite in college and the game took me about 15 hours to complete on PC. That game is a work of frickin art. One of the prettiest ever made.

I actually only just played BioShock 1 & 2 for the first time recently because the whole series was on sale in the Nintendo store for dirt cheap. So I ended up playing the whole series on our Switch while my wife watched. She's more of a watcher than a player. I've been loving her watching me play the new Zelda. It's cute.
