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 saw this question asked in another gaming community and thought it might be a good discussion here too.

My personal stats:

My games with over 1k hours (approximately):

Skyrim - 5,300

HITMAN - 1,350

Forza Motorsport 6 - 1,200

Other games with > 400 hours: Fallout 4 (mostly modding), Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Oblivion, all the Bungie Halo games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield 4, Minecraft, Dark Souls III, Elden Ring

I’d love to see what this community plays the most.

PS: to all who celebrate, merry Christmas, and I hope it was a lovely day.

Most recently, Marvel's Spider-Man. I just loved immersing myself in that world: the environment, swinging, combat mechanics, and lighting. It is a cozy place to be, whether winding down after a stressful day, chatting with someone, or listening to music. I also got back to gaming after more than a decade, and this was the game that got hooked me again.

But my all-time favourite would be Age of Empires from back in the day – LAN games with friends and new coworkers, as well as the campaigns. A perfect way to unwind after work. I played it almost religiously for a couple of years in the late 90s.

An honorary mention goes to Hollow Knight, as the game finally clicked for me late last year. But when I checked the playtime, it was still lower than Marvel’s Spider-Man. Moreover, I don’t associate it with that same “feel-good” vibe as the other titles, but it was definitely a great experience. It also gave me a reason to keep using my Steam Deck.
