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.

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon. If it's currently on sale, a link to the sale & price would be great.

Stardew valley is passing my expectations tenfold. I thought it was just a farming simulator with terraria combat but nooo. I find myself genuinely wanting to make meaningful relationships with the townsfolk and not wanting to “min max best strat” like I normally do with videogames

I love Stardew Valley but I do tend to struggle with this. Frequently, I find myself slipping into checklist mode ("gotta give a quartz to this person, run over to Clint to get cracking, get back in time to get the iron out").

It is super satisfying to design a cool farm, though!

I had this too. I decided that I'll get the max rating from Grampa and the everything will calm down, but after reaching that point in game I was sort of burnt out and stopped playing.

Also I never could get into the island part of the game. I felt like I abandoned what I worked for all that time!
