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 do you guys use? I personally like Glitchwave for it's powerful chart building and the user reviews as a whole tend to align with my own.

Backloggd also pretty cool but a little more limited to use, and harder to dig up the old old stuff as its algorithms strongly favor newer.

Anyone else use these or have recommendations of their own?

Something I did was create a list on How Long to Beat of games I don't want to play, sort by most popular, and filter out those games and ones in your Want to Play list too. It's not really recommendations at all but it was a good way to look at new games you havent seen before. In terms of getting recommendations, finding a YouTuber with similar taste in games as you could be a good way to do it.
