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'd have to say Nier Automata, as well as the recent remaster of the game that came before it, Nier Replicant (ver 1.22...). Both are soul-crushing, which is helped by their amazing soundtracks. I definitely recommend them if you're looking for something to make you cry.
Started Automata already. Been meaning to finish it.
NieR: Automata is also definetely my favourite tip. Especially if you want to cry.
Just as a hint: you need to play until you get ending c or d to experience the full story (and by that I mean, you are literally missing half the story otherwise). You don't need to do anything special, just keep playing.
Also after you get one you can easily do the other and then get the "true" ending.
Yeah, I've been hearing some incredible things about Automata from multiple people.
Nier Replicant is a magnitude more soul crushing. You'd at least get a glimmer of hope at the end of Automata, but not with Replicant!
They're both amazing!
