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.

Favourite patient modern game? (lemmy.world)

A bit of a weird title, but basically what’s a game that’s more than a year old but still considered “modern” that you love? There’s no real strict definition for modern, I’d just like to see some discussion around great games that aren’t quite classics yet (but probably will be one day).

The nature of this community typically attracts discussion around decade-old games (which is what I mostly play too), but I’d like to see some newer (but not too new) games on this post.

Fair point

Counterpoint: y’aint gotta play forever, you can just play a game and dig it

Multicounterpoint: the hex, but if you want forever games and battle passes and dailies and loot boxes and quests and achievements and new things added all the time for dopamine it might not be your thing

Quick edit: I didn’t arg anything

Oh I get it. Standalone, it's great. It's just not what I thought it was. I bought it for one reason, was surprised that it wasn't what I thought I'd be receiving as a consumer, reflecting, I'd definitely say it's a good game.

Battle passes/ dailies / loot boxes aren't really my thing either. I do love roguelikes and the idea of "runs" and it being a sandbox to play in to experiment with builds.

Noita, for example, is probably one of my favorite games of all time. (Also a game I recommend everyone to play and give a good college try.)
