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.

If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

Mass Effect 2 because it's one of my favourite games. The only issue is I don't know how enjoyable it'll be without the first and third game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 because it's one of the finest pieces of media, period.

What Remains of Edith Finch because it's a shining example of how creative and immersive "walking sims" can be.

Bioshock because the first time you experience the moment is indelibly inked into my brain.

Spoiler for Bioshock

"Would You Kindly"

Civilization 4 because it's timeless and the moment you boot it up to hear Baba Yetu, it feels magical and special.

Great picks. ME2, RDR2 and BioShock were all games I contemplated for my list. I omitted ME2 for the reason you mentioned, and BioShock didn’t make it because while it’s absolutely a fantastic game, I don’t find it to have the same replayability as Dishonored, which I chose for my last pick. RDR2 would’ve been my sixth pick.
