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.

And when I get bored of Hollow Knight, I pick up Gran Turismo 4 and Slay the Spire.

Have you tried it? Its worth giving it a shot. Many people bail out after a handful of hours. Many people are discovering that metroidvanias aren't for them after jumping on the bandwagon for Silksong.

Platforming isn't the only thing this game has. There's solid platforming, exploring, solid combat (kinda souls-like), death leading to loss of currency and needing retrieval (like dark souls), excellent bosses, excellent art and sound, great story, high difficulty. So many things come together so well to make such a great game.

If you play it and still don't see the appeal, then it's provably not for you. People can sing praise for Counter Strike all day, and it might be well made for what it is.....but that game just ain't for me, even though it is so good at what it does.
