Mainly Banishers Ghosts of New Eden. I don’t have much money at the moment due to almost 4 months of unemployment, just got a new job and with my first paycheck from 4 days of work I got that, plus the new humble bundle, a couple coloring packs cause I like the pixel coloring books, and a couple games that were $2-3 each: a zelda clone called Blossom Tales, The Snow Fable: Mystery of the Flame (I also like hidden object adventure games), a lovecraftian 2d platformer called The Last Case of Benedict Fox, and adventure game version of Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles and a Wipeout clone called Flashout 3.
Sorry to hear that. Sail the high seas with no worries. You can still contribute to digital preservation of games by seeding. But don’t worry if you can’t do that.
Sometimes you’re just craving something specific or need something a bit smaller scale instead of a massive AAA. After finishing Cyberpunk 2077, I bounced around from God of War to Assassin’s Creed Origins to Spiderman, and on and on, all great titles but just stopped after a few hours… the game that finally grabbed me was an indie from a few years ago called Crying Suns.
If you want a small game with killer mechanics and that you won’t feel like you’re abandoning after a few hours, try Into The Breach
If you want a Battlefield game that actually revolves around teamwork and communication, I suggest Squad.
The team largely started off modifying BF2 into Project Reality… eventually became their own studio and made their realism / teamwork version of BF2 in UE.
Its not as milsim as the Arma series, but its not as casual as Battlefield.
I’ve been doing this for decades. I just get bored easily. But every now and then I find a game that works for me and I spend 1000s of hours playing it. At this point I probably have a 1000+ games and 70% of them I played 2 to 4 hours…
There is always a need for those 3, 5 or 10 hour games. Something short and sweet instead of the mindless grind of a live service game. I recommend looking in your backlog for something different every now and then.
I used to do that until I started Persona 5 Royal. I’ve been playing it nonstop with 150 hours in. I’m almost at the end and it will be the first RPG that I will finish (I didn’t even finish Chrono Trigger)
Lol, Fear and Hunger is banned in Germany (which usually means it’s good).
BG3 might be a bit above my current PC’s capabilities.
I’ve donated my gaming PC for controlling the lighting at a local non-profit concert venue, so now I only have my laptop to game.
I think it’s not banned, but doesn’t have an age rating, which makes it ill gal to be advertised in Germany. Since displaying the game counts as “advertisement”, Valve simply doesn’t let you buy it.
I’ve played BG3 mostly on geforce now, it’s a nice workaround if your pc is not capable enough. If you buy it on steam you’ll have synced saves for when you get your pc back.
They are still updating the game and it has official mod support (not on geforce now though).
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’ve been doing that here lately, just bouncing from game to game to game. Despite having hundreds of games in my Steam library, just feeling burnt out I think. Trying to move back to my unloved boardgames more to switch it up some. Sometimes you don’t need to force it, take a break and find something else to do for awhile until the interest comes back.
This was me, too. Over the past few years, I noticed I was having less and less fun with games, and was getting bored with them more quickly, even good ones that are right up my alley. I ended up starting a new hobby (gunpla) and couldn’t be happier. I still game some, but only a small fraction of what I used to.
Play Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s enormous. It’s difficult and the turn based combat is something you’ll have to get used to but it’s incredibly fun and deep.
I’ve put 1300 hours into the game because if you get bored you can just start a different character and try the story from their perspective. There are dozens of ways to complete every encounter.
