How to deal with Video Game Overload

[PhrawzT]

I would agree with much of what everyone else was saying, Take a break and try something else for a bit. My wife and I will binge watch a show for a day or two, or I'll read a book instead. When I do come back, I'll pick out something new, or an old comfort game that I haven't played in years to ease back in before diving into a more time consuming game.

AAA titles aren't all that. Might be the Let's Player side of me speaking but I want to have a reasonable session to where I'm making progress even if it's through power-leveling. I prefer satisfaction than just a rush. I play longer games, sure but I prefer something that makes a session worthwhile in progression than just for some high.

It's been quite a while since I have found a modern mainstream game that really caught my interest. I wanted to like Baldur's Gate 3 so much, but just got bored with it after a few days and went back to the Saturn.
