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.

I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?

I stay approximately one console generation behind these days, so I guess that's about 7 years. I finally got a ps4 this year. Anyone have any recommendations?

Mostly interested in single player offline games. Metroidvanias and roguelikes are my most played genres.

Why?

Eh, it auto-updates, so it's far too late for that.
