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.

Games that my non-gamer girlfriend can watch me playing? (lemm.ee)

I recently finished The Last of Us 2. My girlfriend sometimes watches me play my games. And while I thought that TLoU would be a great game to follow, it was hard for her to watch (due to the violence). I wonder if there is a game that would be easy or even interesting for her to watch while I play, without it having to be something strictly "family friendly" , that also has fun gaming mechanics and isn't just a walking simulator. Looking forward to any ideas! :)

If you or your girlfriend aren't prone to motion sickness, I'd recommend the Portal games and Outer Wilds.

All games from Supergiant games are an automatic recommend from me, but if you're not into fast paced violent games which a spectator might not be able to keep up with, maybe skip Hades and go for their earlier titles.

Both Ori games may be a good choice too since she can enjoy the eye candy and story alongside.
