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.

Gris is such a beautiful game. It's up there with Journey and Sayonara wild hearts for me in the games I can easily hold up as art category.

It absolutely is. I try to play 1-2 of these each year, and I have a collection in Steam called "short games" for experiences under 5 hours with something unique to them.

Some others:

Gorogoa
What Remains of Edith Finch
INSIDE

They're all very different, but they fit into that "games as art" category and don't overstay their welcome.

I'm not always in the mood for these kinds of games, but when I am, they really scratch that itch.

Sayonara Wild Hearts was such an unexpected banger to play through. I still hope they make another one.
