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.

How old are we talking? Final Fantasy VI, Super Metroid, Resident Evil 2, and the OG Tomb Raider series are all pretty old but great.
Portal, Portal 2, Mirror's Edge, Alien Isolation, Child of Light, Celeste, Tales of Berseria, Final Fantasy XIII, Slime Rancher, the newer Tomb Raifer games, and A Plague Tale are a few games from previous gens that hold up really well.
A more recent game that flew under a lot of people's radars is Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and it was a lot of fun. Also, Atelier Ryza and Alba: A Wildlife Adventure are very worth mentioning, too. :)
I have to call out Mirror's Edge, it is a great experience if you have the right mindset.
Trying to play it with an FPS philosophy is not the way.
Don't forget the rest of Atelier series!
That's true! There's a lot of good games in that series, I've heard. I have yet to play most of them myself.
I haven't played a lot, but I did played Atelier Iris 3 as well as Atelier Rorona. Mana Khemia is fun as well
Kena: Bridge of Spirits really is an excellent game, I've done a couple of playthroughs at different difficulty levels, and there is so much more depth to the gameplay than I realized on my first playthrough. It's fun, challenging, has a decent story, beautiful environments, and some really cool bosses. The fact that it's an indie studio's first game still blows my mind.
Just wanted to add my own recommendation of Kena to anyone who might be interested, even though it's a more recent game.
It's been on my wishlist for a while cuz I thought it looked pretty good but wasn't quite sure if I should try it.
Now I know to buy it next time there's a good steam sale. You've sold me!
Don't forget Parasite Eve!
How dare you have such great taste on the internet? I can't even fight you over this list.
