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.

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

These are the games that came to mind:

  • The Last of Us

  • Life is Strange

  • Final Fantasy X

  • Another recommendation for the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead

Hopefully you haven't played these already.

I was supremely disappointed with The Last of Us. The intro was fantastic, but everything after that (including the ending) was just "meh".

FFX has been on my list for a long time now. Only FF game I've played is VI.

I kept hearing about TT TWD when it came out. Been meaning to play it. IDK much about Life is Strange.

Ah bummer. I'm sorry to hear TLoU didn't work for you.

FFX has been on my list for a long time now. Only FF game I’ve played is VI.

It's a great game with some really emotional moments. I enjoyed it a lot and it's a lot of people's favourite game in the series (mine is VI which you've already played).

IDK much about Life is Strange.

It's really hard to describe without spoiling anything. I mentioned in another comment that the first chapter is free on Steam so if you wanted to try it without a monetary risk then that's always an option.
