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.

I beat Outer Wilds right after my first kid was born and it absolutely tore me to pieces.
Came to say Outer Wilds. That end moved me.
I don’t think I stopped thinking about that game for a solid three months after I beat it.
100%. Even in the general 'middle', every now and then, a few simple lines of text would just punch me right in the gut
Removed it since it could be seen as a spoiler
Ahhh and the music too
BTW I would mark that as a spoiler, I know I wouldn't want to know even that there's something worth mentioning like this there
Edit - deleted, because explaining why it is a spoiler is a spoiler, and apparently the spoiler tags don't work on a lot of lemmy apps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fair enough. Also spoiler tag didn’t work lol
Oh god haha that's even worse. It works for me but I just checked a different lemmy app and it doesn't work there, I guess it's not implemented everywhere yet. Thanks for the heads up
Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.
Ctrl-F Outer Wilds
Ah yes, thank you for beating me to it. It's been years since I first played and I still think about it almost every day.
This, entirely. It's just one of those games that I can't get past. Truly a solid recommendation
