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.

Noita!: I agree with many in dubbing it my favorite single player game.
It is a pixel art alechemy and magic roguelike where every pixel is physically simulated and destroyable. Find spells and wands and combine them in programmer like ways to multiply their power. Many tricks in the game are so strong they feel like cheating, but the game has been built with challenges that surpass every trick.
It is the epitome of endlessly repayable. Especially switching between the few mods that drastically change the map.
I can easily have a god run last me 5-10 hours. But I still have a lot of fun with the more common 30min-2hr runs.
It is something I have always been undecided about. The whole spell creation thing sounds like something I'd love, but I've heard the game can be frustrating, and aside from !hades@lemmy.zip roguelikes are not my thing. I should probably see if it has a demo or watch some early gameplay…
Definitely watch some gameplay. The super early game is quite self explanatory, but noita quickly escalates to puzzles so hard a community needs to get together to solve them.
Playing Noita with all the knowledge of the wider community has made so many cool bosses actually beatable, and made the whole game a lot more fun for me.
