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.

Rain World and its DLC Downpour are 50% off (just above 11 bucks)

I went to check it out and it's already in my library. Must have snagged it in the last sale.

Rain World is very, very niche in its appeal, but it's perhaps the best argument for games as art that I've ever come across. I've never had to rethink what a game even is in order to engage with something before.

Going to vouch for this game. I’ve been really enjoying it.

Best experienced without spoilers. Don’t even look up the creatures if you can resist.

You are not a hero, you’re are a small animal in a living ecosystem.

Love this game conceptually but I'm going to have to try again when I have mental bandwidth to get absorbed into it

This is my son's favorite game. Seems to have decent replay value.
