do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.

I would say that my interests and priorities have changed, and when I do want to game I am much more picky as to what I invest that time into.

Maybe 5 years ago I was super into gaming. I would pick up lots of new releases, play them into oblivion, and move onto the next. Nowadays, I will research until I find a game I think I might like, and drop it quickly if I feel like I'm not having fun. Jedi: Fallen Order was a game I thought I'd like but I hated the backtracking and combat (I'm not a Souls-like fan).

I absolutely love souls games but cannot stand souls-likes
