Stolen from myself 6 months ago at https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.zip/post/35616522

I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they'd just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.

The Witcher 3 is just an RPG minigame you can play between rounds of Gwent.

Woman: My child! Please save my child!
Geralt: Care for a game of Gwent?
Woman: nod

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is just a horse riding simulator in between games of Farkle. A beautiful deadly simulator.

Didn't knights of the old republic have farkle in too? It's a good game, and I guess just unfamiliar enough to bolt into a fantasy setting.

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.
