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.

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

This is my kind of list! Dwarf Fortress though...I haven't played. Slightly intimidated by it. Sorta drawing from my experience with Rimworld. I really wanted to like it but I was so shit at the game.

The problem with DF isn't the learning curve, it's how easy it is to play for sixteen hours without eating or sleeping.

Same. People gush over how complex it is all the time, and it just makes me feel like I will be too stupid to understand it lol. I'm sure I could with enough time, but time is what I lack

various roguelikes

Noita is one I've spent a lot of hours with.

Caves of Qud is a good one if you like "classic" roguelikes.
