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.

Stray.
antichamber literally kept me up all night until I finished it at 9am
Carrion. I was surprised how much fun it was. There's some nice but not overly difficult puzzles and some frantic bursts of combat
Sleeping Dogs pulled me in real hard. I‘m super salty there‘s no Sleeping Dogs 2, I loved everything about this game.
If any of you like GTA style gameplay, Sleeping Dogs is that plus kung fu movie flair (even has a cheesy king fu story DLC).
Nioh, Nioh 2, Code Vein, Dark Souls 2 (I know), Fairy Fencer F, and Ni no Kuni 2 also put me in chains. Crusader Kings III has no real story but it made so many evenings disappear that I try to legit stay away from it lol
Max Payne!
Return of the obra dinn. Both because it's good and because I was worried my train of thought would be interrupted if I took a break. Took me ~9 hours and gave me a really bad headache afterwards, no regrets.
Inmost - short platformer/metroidvania game with a brutally emotional storyline.
Far: Lone Sail - short puzzle/platformer game. Chill as fuck, great atmosphere and music. Story is only really gleamed from the environment that you traverse.
Half life 1 and portal 1
Portal 1
Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead. Because I usually die in like the first week in game lol
super metroid and metroid zero mission. Man I love those games.
I wanna say Yoshis Island for SNES but it was so long ago I don't remember if it was one or two sittings. Dunno about the "that was so good" part though. Just completed it :)
Spec Ops: The Line. I started playing it in the morning, the story kept me engaged (and the gameplay was fun enough). I played it all day to its conclusion.
Ironic!
Why?
Because it's a game that's constantly telling the player that they should stop playing it. That everything is going to get worse if you do and it's all your fault. That you're going to cross the line again and again and again until every single person in the game is doomed. And then we play through the entire thing anyway, because it's so fucking good.
Plants Vs. Zombies!
My wife and I just sat there like... zombies... for the whole day and night until we finished it, and then went to bed surprised and happy when we got our musical reward at the end!
The Flash gaming era at it's best.
Surprisingly, The Witcher 2!
I believe 3 and its DLC had come out at that point, meanwhile, i had paused the first, which I had bought on release, somewhere before its third act. Somehow I got back into it and finished it in a few weeks.
Then I booted up the second opus and the changes were so drastic! It was amazing! Everything that was a hassle in the first was pretty much gone!
And that story was fantastic, with a proper dilemma at the heart of it : you had to pick a size and stick with the consequences.
I finished the entire thing in a very long weekend, completely enthralled and picked up the third instantly afterwards.
And somehow things got even better!
The Witcher 2 takes around 24 hours to complete the main story. Are you sure that you finished it in one sitting?
There was some sleeping, but at my age, playing a game over the course of one long weekend is definitely "one sitting" ;)
