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.

Just discovered Mini Metro, a puzzle game where you have to create metro lines. Very engaging, but also chill, and currently 50% off on Steam (store.steampowered.com)

There's also Mini Motorways. Same concept, different pieces. Heavily recommend both, both can scratch those "I just want to have a chill time" and "I wanna optimize and challenge myself" itches.

Super easy to pick up, spend your lunch break placing lines, and go back to whatever you were doing.

Still waiting for Mini Motorways to not be gatekept by Apple Arcade on iOS.

I’ve been playing Mini Metro for almost ten years now.

That's a great description of both games. I jump back and forth depending on how I feel.

From a different studio, but Mini Settlers is also worth a try.
