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 are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

I've read the whole thread and nobody has said Spintires/Mudrunner/Snowrunner ... it's basically the same game, it just keeps evolving and it's impossible to really complete because by the time you do there's more levels released.

For me, driving big trucks through mud is repeatedly appealing.

I'm kinda the same way with American Truck Simulator. Its a great background game so I play it once every two weeks at least

GTA IV, I don't even like it that much, yet keep going back to it.

Some things are just appealing bc of how familiar they are. I enjoy the Polar Express movie, but it's not my favorite, yet I've watched it more than any other movie lol

I just started Witcher 3. It's great and has very good low graphics mode.
