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.

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.
That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.
I was absolutely entranced.
I saw so much praise for this game, which got me to buy. Then I genuinely felt like I played a different game than everybody else.
Not that I thought it was bad or anything, I just walked across the landscape for 2h15m and then haven't thought about it since.
The amazing part for me is running into a stranger and we have to communicate with the limited system in game. Outside of that it's a competent "walking simulator" with decent puzzles and great art. If that's not your thing I get it.
Wait that other person I saw was a real person and not an NPC?? 🤯
Yup. When the game ends, you will see a list of player IDs you've met during your journey
That's so wild. I met one person and I was just following them around to see where the "AI" was taking them. I thought it was very advanced for an older game 😅 I think I may not be the smartest
Same here, it's by all accounts a decently competent but ultimately very basic puzzle platformer. Don't get the hype.
It made me a better person.
If that is meant literally, how did it make you a better person?
I appreciated the combined poetry of something so much it made me more tolerant, appreciative, optimistic and excited about life and people on the whole.
Turned the dial.
My sister plays the game a lot.
She's earned the white robe, and plays regularly to show other players around, and draw them hearts in the sand/snow.
Very cool. Thanks
That's really adorable, thanks for sharing!
Dang, you're patient. I played this back on PS3. Does it even have online players anymore? They are an integral part of the experience, IMO.
I had someone with a super long scarf play basically the entire second half of the game with me. So fun to find ways to communicate with just the little pulses we had.
!Also absolutely heartbreaking when wet froze together at the end!<
I also played their other game Flower, on the PS3. Probably the only time I've enjoyed using motion controls on that system.
Fyi Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the way Reddit does. The syntax for spoilers is:

I played it back when it first came out, and I still pick it up at least once or twice a year just to play it again. It is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played.
Did you get to encounter any other players on your journey? Also, if you collect all of the glyphs (the ones that extend your scarf) you get the white robe. It makes it so that your scarf recharges just from standing on a surface! (And it's pretty!)
I've played it on PC two months ago and I did run into other players. Really cool experience
