Gaming Fatigue and Combatting it.
I’ve had a long lasting period of Gaming Burnout, and while a select few games have been able to break that curse, I still generally just cannot enjoy games the same way as I used to, even if some are still good, even amazing. I’ve tried taking some short breaks, I’ve broken away from any sort of pressure with gaming, but I just can’t get that feeling of complete admiration of a game that I used to get with many games. I’m just looking for opinions on if any of you have experienced this, and if so, how you have fixed it, or if you haven’t experienced it, I’d love to hear input anyway. To be specific with my gaming life, I recently played Pirate Yakuza which was great but I weirdly haven’t felt a lot of emotions with most games I’ve played. To describe this feeling I’m looking for again, it involves a world that I feel I can escape to, whether it’s because it’s so much fun or if it’s simply incredibly atmospheric, allowing that immersion. I don’t want to think about the time that’s passing, I just want it to pass doing something I love. I hope this makes sense and I would greatly appreciate any advice given. Thank you.
