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.

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

There are some Earthbound references in Mother 3 that you won’t know the context of when you encounter them as well as a bit of context for the main villain. But other than that, it’s not required to go through Earthbound before playing Mother 3.

Yeah if I had to choose between Earthbound’s battling system and Mother 3’s, I would definitely go with Mother 3’s because the one for Earthbound isn’t as engaging.
