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.

For me, Minecraft is not single player, I mean, I always play it with other people , I know it's only for me 😁

My games are Zelda link to the past, s. Mario world and xcom apocalypse. I replay them at least every two years

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Into The Breaxh, Sekiro, Psychonaut 1&2.

They are so satisfying and not too long. Factorio is a bit too demanding.

Virginia and What Remains of Edith Finch are two of my favourite narrative experiences. I've played through both of them a few times and I'm always eager to go back.

KSP, Skyrim, and Witcher 3. Sometimes when I particularly hate myself I'll play Dark Souls

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Metal Gear Solid 3.

So hype for the rerelease and the remake

GTA IV, I don't even like it that much, yet keep going back to it.

I've read the whole thread and nobody has said Spintires/Mudrunner/Snowrunner ... it's basically the same game, it just keeps evolving and it's impossible to really complete because by the time you do there's more levels released.

For me, driving big trucks through mud is repeatedly appealing.
