This was me. I eventually bounced around games and tried Satisfactory, a game type I never thought I’d like. Now it’s my new meth and daddy needs his fix.
In fact, if anything, I try to be sensitive to when I start to burn out on a game, and when that happens I avoid playing until the desire is really strong again.
Sometimes looking for something to play means having a LARGE number of false starts before I find the thing, but I make a note of not trying a bunch of similar games whenever something isn’t scratching the itch. I make each attempt with something very different.
And coming back to a game can take years.
That’s kind why you need a TON of games if you don’t want to take breaks from gaming entirely, because otherwise the medium just doesn’t have enough variety to keep the human brain engaged.
You should try shorter games, and completely ignore whether something is “big” enough to be worth your time. The big stuff is what’s boring you right now, so don’t waste time on trying to force the enjoyment.
Plus, if you’re restricting yourself to stuff that achieves critical acclaim, you’re limiting yourself to games everyone likes. That means you’re probably missing some stuff only you and people like you would like.
Not all good things are enjoyed by everyone universally, some things are just for a subset of people.
I got all the cheap classics I had been playing with an eyepatch and a peg leg years ago. I’m especially excited about Magicka 2 to play with friends. My nephew is gonna love them!
I really wanted to try Starfield but can’t justify the price. Like I want to buy it, but I also don’t have that kind of money to spend. Might start asking around my local friends to see if any of them have it so I can library share with them
I had access to it with GamePass when it launched (I’m full Linux now so I’ve canceled that). I still pirated it because you can’t mod games distributed by Windows unless the specifically allow it. I’m saying this to say, there are alternative means to try it available if you want, but also I regret the time I wasted on it. It wasn’t worth the time spent not even spending money on it specifically, and I love previous Bethesda games and the sci-fi genre.
I did like Fallen Order. It’s not particularly challenging for the most part and it being compared to Dark Souls is overblown, but it definitely “gets” Star Wars.
Yeah, I’m a total Souls junkie. My favorite game ever was Bloodborne. I was on like NG+6 when I stopped playing it. That said, I never expect any game to come anywhere close to a Fromsoft Soulslike. There’s a reason they’re all called Soulslike, IMO; they can imitate, they can’t be a Souls game.
I bought it mainly because all my friends won’t stop giving me shit for not playing Fallen Order, and it does look interesting.
I think the car is called Remington, the two door low rider. I can trick that vehicle out as much as I want. I always keep one around so I can participate in the low rider minigames.
You can get a lot of games running well for that. Almost every 2D game will run great, and a bunch of 3D titles too.
I picked up Parking Garage Rally Circuit in the sales yesterday because I’ve followed the dev on tiktok and it’s quite fun. A dreamcast-style time trial game!
