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.

A lot of games I've had on my wishlist are at all time low price now, so I wanted to share (I have not played these games):

Heaven's Vault - I've seen it recommended as similar to the Outer Wilds - 5.49 EUR

Doom Eternal - 3.99 EUR

Pistol Whip - VR rhythm shooter - 12.49 EUR

shapez - great automation game (this one I have played and highly recommend if you like the genre) - 0.78 EUR

New-ish games that you can be more patient about:

shapez 2 - 3d successor to the game above - 13.47 EUR

Ghost of Tsushima - 29.92 EUR

Cyclopean: The Great Abyss - Lovecraftian cRPG with very retro graphics - 7.80 EUR

Static Dread: The Lighthouse - Lovevcraftion "Papers please" - 9.59 EUR

The Horror at Highrook - an occult card crafting narrative RPG, ofc Lovecraftian - 12.94 EUR

Little Witch in the Woods - cute casual witch simulator - 11.96 EUR

This list doesn't cover games I've already bought as I do not track their prices.

Are there any games you'd recommend?

As much as I love mass effect (and I do love it very much), I find it hard to recommend it right now because of the launcher requirements. There is a guide on the community page for bypassing the pop up asking you to download the EA launcher, and it did work for me the first time, but after shutting down my system and booting it up later to play again it stopped working for some reason. Might be a me problem I’m not sure. But keep in mind that it will try its best to get you to download their stupid app.
