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 free2play game are you currently hooked on? (lemmy.ml)

I know older titles are usually the topic in this community but a lot of the popular f2p games are getting pretty old now too, and if you're like me you've been curious about some of them and even pleasantly surprised now and again.

There are many examples like League of Legends, Apex Legends, Raid: Shadow Legends etc and I usually get hooked on one and play it for some months or more. I'm not really trying to get into the "business" side of things, I personally very rarely purchase anything but if you do that's absolutely fine too.

The current ones I play regularly:

PC - Enlisted - A WW2 shooter with vehicles like the Battlefield games. Same publisher and game engine as War Thunder and has been in open beta for over 2 years now. Kinda janky still but regularly updated and enjoyable.
Android - CUE cards universe everything (I forget exactly lol) - Fun deck builder but very grindy if you don't buy shit. Pretty unique concept for a deck builder what I've come across. Short games too so good for a smoke break or the bus or whatever.

So, what do you play?

Free Infantry. I wouldn't say I'm hooked, but it would be great if this really took off again. Was a great game back in the day. I've completely forgotten how to play it or do anything and mostly fumble around.

Pikmin Bloom. It helps me get up and walking and has guided me to cool local public art.

Various incremental/idle browser games that are truly free. Kittens Game is pretty good. It also has a mobile app (Android link) (iOS link) which you pay once upfront for. The Shark Game is also pretty cute.

I always circle back around to SRB2. It has been beautiful to watch it grow over the decades.
