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.

While outer wilds could don the moniker of puzzle game, I think of it as the evolution of point-and-click. By that I mean there's a fleshed out world to interact with using your intuition and innate interest in mystery rather than a set of tasks to complete.

I hope it clicks with you!
