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.

If you are the simmy type or like space, Elite Dangerous is insanely good, but has a learning curve up front. It's the only game I've put over 1,100 hours in and still haven't explored everything.

Subnautica is another game I can highly recommend.

If you wanna play games with friends (Elite is also MP), The Forest is a great game to bond over.

Black mesa is another banger.

X4 is on sale as well, if you want something similar to Elite

x4 has much more depth.

i would say x4 is more like EVE but single player
