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.

For me it’s San Andreas and Final Fantasy X

San Andreas was so ahead of it's time. I think it's one of the few open world games that managed to do it right

It’s so annoying how open world has become pretty much the default for so many games now. Especially now that games take so much time and money to develop, I can’t only think of a handful of open world games from the last 10 years that were deeper than a puddle
