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.

For DLC, I just bought 1-2 at a time and treated it like a new game each time. I now have most of them, and I've always waited at least a year before buying a DLC to get it for 50% off.

I think the UI is fine, though it seems EUV is coming out soon, so the UI will likely be completely reworked. If you're thinking about jumping in, I recommend waiting for EUV since EUIV will likely be steeply discounted (just like CK2 was when CK3 was released).
