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.

Outer Wilds at 40% off again. Does it ever get lower? I know I should pay full price because it's supposed to be a masterpiece but I'm afraid I'll bounce off it. Also a bit hesitant to play it because I'm afraid it will just give me more existential dread and anxiety and I have too much of that already.
IMO outer wilds has a strong tone of optimism and hope in the face of existential dread, so I think you're probably good on that front. And if you're at all a fan of environmental storytelling and don't hate physics sims, I think you'll like it just fine. If you're super unsure, maybe watch like the first hour (or less if you find your answer early) of someone doing a blind playthrough and see if the manner of storytelling grabs you.
