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.

Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

While they sell millions, typical „Ubisoft formula“ games are critically unpopular because they‘re dumbed down treasure hunts, and I enjoy them (in moderation) exactly because of that. Sometimes I just wanna turn my brain off and walk to map marker #312 while taking in the sights.

Red Dead Online has a ~5 jobs that you can maintain or choose to ignore.

One of the jobs is Collecting. All you do is wander the countryside hunting for treasures, then return to the collector and sell them. That's the entire job. But it was my girlfriend's favorite because you just stare at the scenery as you wander the map
