from what ive heard trying different genres might help
I think I've been feeling this lately. I've always been a huge fan of semi-RPGs and open world games, but there really haven't been many great ones in a long time (tried Elden Ring, needs difficulty slider).
I'm realizing I should probably branch out into something new, but I don't even know where to start. I don't tend to care for turn-based games, and fighting games aren't my thing because of how long it can take to get decent at them.
Anyone have any recommendations for games that you don't have to invest too much time into to really enjoy? I just don't have the time in my life for a crazy investment and focus in a game.
To be fair, Elden Rings difficulty slider is the same as any other RPG... going off and doing other stuff for a bit until you're OP for the part giving you trouble.
Also summoning people (or even the seamless coop mod that allows coop all the time everywhere) that's also an effective difficulty slider.
I've had very little time to make an investment in gaming lately (not bad, just no time) but what I've found are emulators for old retro games and that has filled the itch quite nicely...the bonus is that if you put it down and walk away it's not as hard on your soul (less guild about spending money or time). plus games are easy to pick up and put down.
Until you end up like me; spending more time messing with the emulator than playing, just to see how good you can get stuff looking and what other cool stuff they can do.
still a win!
But messing with that stuff is fun right?
