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're into puzzles, the Rusty Lakes series is very story heavy and fun to play, while quite challenging. I imagine it'd be cool to watch and follow the story along. There is a bit of a horror/thriller aspect to it but it's not really realistically gory as far as I remember.

I think Spiritfarer might be interesting to watch too, though might get a bit repetitive.

Also a not recommended game: I watched my partner replay high on life so many times I can almost quote the entire game. It's annoying, it's just a very flipping annoying game unless you're the one playing it, and even then.
