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.

Currently playing Talos Principle Reawakened (the UE5 remastered version). For anyone wondering whether it's worth it, yes if you have the hardware for it. Because they also massively improved one of the most complex but also most frustrating mechanics in the original game (with the recorder thingie). So there are very useful improvements overall. Also, it has an entirely new DLC I think, which is again noticeably harder than the 1st DLC Road to Gehenna. Game looks great as well, but you need serious hardware for it. It's not very performance efficient anymore. :) The Talos Principle series are probably the biggest and best 3D first-person puzzle games out there, together with the Portal series. Absolutely recommended.
Other than that, I've played The Ten Bells and Exit 8. These are great small anomaly-hunting games. I've never played this genre before so it was a great discovery for me. If you're curious about this genre, start with Exit 8. If you liked that and prefer more horror elements in it, as well as a bigger "map", play The Ten Bells. Awesome small games, needing only like 2-3 hours to finish.
I think Blue Prince needs to be added to this list going forward.
I’m a huge fan of the Portal games but never played any Talos Principle. I’ve had them on my Wishlist for a while now, maybe I’ll pick them up on the next sale.
Seconded on Talos Principle; it's a great game. It takes a more philosophical spin on the story rather than a comical spin like Portal, but it does scratch that 3D puzzler itch that Portal accomplishes so well
Thanks for the warning.
I have the original Talos plus the DLC and love it but I'll wait some years until I have the iron to run the remaster.
