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 haven't bought anything yet, but I've been compiling a short list of mostly DRPG games like the old Might and Magics that I've been playing, specifically ones that'll work on the Deck nicely. It's a genre I loved when I was younger that's been rather missing from my modern collection.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

and/or

Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls
Legends of Amberland II
Operencia: The Stolen Sun
Songs of Conquest (not a DRPG, but a great-looking spiritual successor to Heroes of Might and Magic 3.)

And then on GoG, I might pick up a few real old ones, like Lands of Lore and/or Wizards & Warriors, but I don't think those will be good for steam deck even through Heroic.

Songs of conquest is fantastic, definitely recommend.

I keep coming back to play it and they have been releasing solid new content, such as new factions

Pick up Lands of Lore. Let me be your enabler.

Ooh, Wildermyth looks pretty tempting too...
