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.

Favourite patient modern game? (lemmy.world)

A bit of a weird title, but basically what’s a game that’s more than a year old but still considered “modern” that you love? There’s no real strict definition for modern, I’d just like to see some discussion around great games that aren’t quite classics yet (but probably will be one day).

The nature of this community typically attracts discussion around decade-old games (which is what I mostly play too), but I’d like to see some newer (but not too new) games on this post.

I really liked it, precisely because it wasn't a Slay the Spire-esque game all the way through. I got tired of STS after beating it a few times, whereas Inscryption felt like the perfect length and held my attention throughout.

That said, I don't look for replayability. In fact I prefer games to not be replayable because that pushes devs to make that experience really good. It's really easy to cop out on "replayability" if you don't have good world building or story, and a lot of indie games do just that (i.e. it's easier to add more cards, classes, etc than a memorable story).

Everyone has different tastes. For me, Inscryption was right on the money. I got far fewer hours vs STS, but I came away far more satisfied.
