Basic idea is to have the community all play the same game and then talk about it and our experiences.

I feel the games should be either very inexpensive or free. Even a demo or “Prologue” would be an easy way to make it free. In regards to selecting games we could use community engagement and vote in some fashion, or have a pool of games which everybody contributes to and one is selected at random.

This is just a random idea I had but wanted to throw it out there.

Thanks for listening!

    Fan of the idea, thought of something like this for a couple of friends I have on Discord, and it is both fun and valuable, since the suggestions come in a more natural, discussion-like manner between a circle of passionate people, instead of the algorithmic approach of Steam and critic aggregates. Please do such a community and let’s get this started!

    Honestly I disagree with some comments here. I wouldn’t make a separate community. Just do it here. The community is small as-is, no need to splinter it down any further.

    Also, I don’t think games would just have to be cheap, they’d also have to be short. That makes the barrier of entry a bit lower.

    I would love for that to be a thing!

    I agree that it should be done in this community instead of creating a new one. If you need any help with anything, please let me know as I would be glad to help

    It’s a great idea - I don’t have much time for gaming anymore, but I’m sure others would be keen to participate!
