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.

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

Minecraft
Furi
Mario 64
Super Mario World
GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

You just opened up a rabbit hole for me lol. I didn't know there were so many full scale games on mobile. I had seen a couple before, but I didn't know how deep they went. How are the controls on Baldur's Gate I and II?

Controls are great. Those games controls translate so well to touch screen. Them being point and click games tapping is very natural. And instead of the arrow keys you just drag the screen around. Pinch zoom for more accurate tapping of small things or to zoom out for a better view of battles.

Its like they were made for touchscreens.

I think they are a little more playable on a tablet sized screen or a foldable phone but i played alot of bg1 on my old nexus 6 phone which had a 6 inch screen.

Kotor 1 and 2 play better with a controller like a playstation/switch/xbox control or better still a control like the gamesir that holds your phone and makes it look like a switch.

I need to correct my original post. Its kotor that inhave on my phone and jedi knight on the switch
