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 are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

Morrowind and FTL. Both I revisit every couple of years.

I suspect Stardew Valley might become something like that too, but I only had one cycle of stopping and coming back with it so far.

Popped in here to say FTL and was delighted to see someone had already mentioned it. Absolutely love that game.

Stardew valley is definitely one for me and rimworld. Cyberpunk and witcher as well. Skyrim and fallout also but I rarely stick with them for a full playthrough they usually just kill time until I have something else to play

I feel a bit bad, but I abandoned rimworld basically as soon as I found dwarf fortress. I have about 200 hours in rimworld, got at least that in dwarf fortress before the steam release. Up to 50 hours on the steam version now, I would definitely have a lot more hours on both but work and some side projects have been keeping me busy
