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.

Outer Wilds. Every time it’s on sale I buy a copy as a gift for a friend of mine.

It’s an absolutely impactful experience. One best played blind since the unlocks/progression is knowledge based.

A masterpiece of mystery, story telling and exploration gameplay.

How many copies does your friend have by now?

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 6 points 5 months ago

I’ve bought it about 5 or 6 times now

Bought it after a reccomendation. Thanks for no spoilers, I'm really enjoying it (and intrigued) so far

It’s great. And if you ever get stuck just pull on another thread since many of them overlap.

Feel free to ping me and I’ll do my best to give non spoiler hints if you ever feel truly stuck.

Their advice on pulling another thread is the way to go. Don't even do something you think is related, just go do something new. You might find it's related after all.

Can I be a friend of yours lol

I hope it goes on sale for <$10 at some point, it looks really fun

It is fantastic. Just wonderful experience that you can only truly ever have once.

I somewhat joke with my spouse that if I ever have temporary ambesia to have me play it so I can experience afresh again
