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.

Edit: Thanks so much for all your awesome recommendations and feedback. Based on sheer popularity it looks like my next 3 franchises will be Mass Effect (5 votes), Dead Space (3 votes) and Batman Arkham (3 votes). I love Lemmy!

So since picking up my steam deck last year I've been slowly but surely working through some old trilogies that I never got round to playing. I'm a very casual gamer who plays when opportunity strikes, so it's taken me a year to play all 3 bioshock, mafia and tomb raider games. I played them in alternating order of release (bioshock 1, mafia 1, tomb raider, bioshock 2, mafia 2, tomb raider 2 etc) and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching each story unfold and graphics improve.

So as I approach the end of Mafia 3, I'm looking to repeat this exercise. The Assassin's creed collection just went on sale on steam, so I'm thinking I may start there, so am looking for recommendations for another 2 franchises to compliment (or change up) my playing experience over the next year.

Any help much appreciated!

If you're a fan of the Elder Scrolls franchise, there's a trilogy made by an indie dev crew called SureAI (just game devs, nothing to do with AI, lol) that are built from the assets of the Elder Scrolls games.

Enderal is built from Skyrim, Nehrim from Oblivion, and... idr the Morrowind one.

These games are there own lore-universe, and have nothing at all to do with Elder Scrolls. Different characters, races, terrain, voice actors, music, etc.

Enderal is fucking incredible. The other two are decent.

Free on steam, provided you have the corresponding Bethesda game in your library for the SureAI ones to cannibalize.
