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.

The Quantum games (Heavy Rain, Beyond:Two Souls, Detroit:Become Human) are great for that. Also the Life Is Strange series. Abzu, Journey are "cinematic games" of their own. Maybe Firewatch? Outer Wilds?
Second this. My girlfriend has absolutely not interest in playing games but enjoyed going through Detroit with me and helping choose different options as the game progressed. We even went back to replay some of it to get to different endings which is something I barely ever do when playing games by myself.
I liked Firewatch a lot, but it basically is a walking simulator
It had me intrigued at first but it didn't really lead anywhere. Overrated game with pretty dated graphics imho
I played it back when it first released and loved the graphics, I think it's still generally agreed to be a beautiful game to my knowledge.
The only bit I was underwealmed by was the ending, but they'd also write something with grounded intrigue, which is a difficult thing to pull off without having a cynical ending of "of you thought this was gonna be exciting? This is real buddy", which wasn't really what firewatch was evoking.
Adding on:
LA Noire is pretty good, it's slow enough that you can talk through the different options, or just be silly while having a laugh
