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.

Subset Games created two amazing games: FTL & Into The Breach (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure if this counts as a "patient gamer" because I played them to death years ago...but I've been playing both again recently and they're just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They're not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they're old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I'm sure there's tons of great strategy games I've missed over the years

I hate strategy games but I love Into The Breach. It's a perfectly executed game packed into a single screen.

It plays a lot like a puzzler on the surface.

You're right, that's probably why I love it. I'm a big fan of puzzle games (Portal, Talos Principle, Qube).

Only game I've ever 100%'d

Is it even winnable? I always get killed before clearing all the islands. Still love it, though.

It definitely is, but yeah you'll die a lot at first. Once you know your squad's (and the enemies') abilities it becomes like chess, where you spend a lot of time thinking about the consequences of a single move.
