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.

Played FTL near to it's release, and Into the Breach when it ended up on mobile / Netflix. Baba is You is still on my wishlist though.

Complex strategy game might be an interesting category. Will check out a few. Any recommendations that I should check first? I used to play Age of Empires before, so going to get AoE IV soon, but don't know much 4X games (except maybe some Civilizations and Age of Wonders 2).

Also played Half-Life a while ago, haven't played 2 though. Thanks for the reminder!

I have to admit I'm not into the complex strategy games myself, because I dislike that the first 100 hours are just the tutorial. But I heard good things about Stellaris, although you need apparently some of the DLCs, so wait for a sale there. Endless Legends and Endless Space are different games but both in the same universe, but the latter is in space and the other based on fantasy. And I saw enough memes about Crusader Kings 2 to know that it is Crazy Story Generator in Medieval Times.
