The other day my son was messing around on my PS4. He went into the library and launched Geometry Wars³: Dimensions.

My wife and I heard the music and were like "YES!" and now our family is re-addicted to this game...after 6 years or 7 years of never touching the thing.

What are games you forgot you had and "fell" back into?

I've had a lot of games that I found online, thought they looked fun, then discovered I actually had them in my steam library already and never once touched them.

Sometimes I get hyped when a game is on sale and want to buy and download, to play it. But then realize I already have it and immediately loose interest and move on with my life. Humble Bundle ruined my life.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say Humble Bundle ruined my life, but it’s definitely given me decision paralysis on what game to play. I have so many games I haven’t played. I look at the enormous list, then go and play one of my staple games and ignore the hundreds of unplayed games.

What makes it worse for me is, that I sometimes fall in love with a Free to Play game, instead playing "owned" titles. Then there are the even more enormous count of emulation games with ROMs... and my brother gifted me a Series S where I had tried the Game Pass trial. I don't know where left and right is anymore.
