In principal, I agree with mixing up your gaming time with other stuff but maybe you’re all good with that stuff and just looking for some ideas.
I noticed a lot of your gaming choices are very open ended experiences. Perhaps you could try playing a more “on rails” or story driven experience…
Ideas::
Sony games like Spiderman, Uncharted, God of War.
Psychonauts 2.
Titanfall 2 campaign.
Control. (? Maybe, I haven’t played it ).
Modern Warfare (the new cod) or the new Black Ops.
The latest Mortal Kombat.
Hades (1).
Or maybe something where short plays are the go, like rogue lites where you don’t feel like you need to play it forever. Good luck!
They’re just ideas but you hopefully you see what I mean. Only pick one though.
Last game on console was Civilization IV. Too steep of a learning curve for me.
Since then, I started terminalQuest and it reminded me that I have a bunch of outstanding itch.io games from the bundles during Covid/Ukraine to tackle. Currently playing:
I am shocked the lifespan EU4 has. I played hundreds of hours of it on my (melting) laptop in college a decade ago. I’d let it run a bit while studying in the library, and kind of make slow moves and changes between studying things.
