Coming from pc gaming, both multiplayer and single player i felt at a stage I was just not into gaming anymore. Went and got a Switch, turns out I just needed a change. Maybe try some indies as suggested. I had 65 hours on stardew valley, man that game is like crack.
I've jumped on the switch train lately coming from PC & Ps4, play PC every once in a while but it's been switch since my Ps4 yearly sub expired. Playing newer games was getting a little expensive so just dropped back to playing games I can only get on discount except for big games like Zelda.
I had stopped gaming for about 5 years to focus on my career and starting a family. I'm now turning 40 this year and have been dabbling with games again but nothing really stuck until I started the Trails in the Sky trilogy. I ended up playing it a few hours every other night. Something about it was so refreshing that I'm now about to wrap up the 3rd game.
Like others have mentioned, perhaps your mood or perspective changes as you get older and it's just about finding the right game to play.
Nearly an empty nester, I got back into it with diablo and am surprised it's not affected my marriage. She'll just sit next to me and do her thing on phone/tablet.
Getting into Quake Champions helped cure this after realizing how bad most competitive fps games are now
Single player board games. Sounds lame but look up hunt a killer stand alone..
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan this hit hard
Comes and goes in waves for me. I find games wbere me and my friends are just having fun still brings that feeling.
Me for the back 98.5% of Tears of the Kingdom
I love chess and card games
That deep fear of being homeless and hungry if shit goes sideways irl really takes the punch out of how much I give a shit if a sparkly pixel on my tv screen falls off a ledge or whatever.
