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.

They're cryptic crosswords, so there's more of a puzzle to the clue. e.g. with a proper noun

1D: Confused ham set London flower? (6)

Answer: Thames. (Confused Ham set = "this is an anagram of ham set, which is Thames"; London flower = a thing that flows in London = Thames)

e.g. without a proper noun

5A) Perhaps hawk’s attempt to catch rook (4)

Answer: bird. "Perhaps hawk" is a bird; another word for attempt is "bid", if "bid" captures the rook - for rook in chess notation you'd write "r" - so bid capturing r is bi + r + d = bird.
