do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.

For me, I'd like to add "games that let you set your own pace and objective and let you achieve things your own way" (obviously something like Minecraft, but I also enjoyed Tears Of The Kingdom because of that)

Or, if multi-player: Be co-op, make me do some crazy shit and make me laugh (e.g. Human Fall Flat)

I'm playing Tears of the Kingdom now and it's the only game that's kept my attention since Dark Souls 3. I am not generally a fan of open world games. Even as a huge souls fan I didn't really care for Elden Ring. But this Zelda game is incredible. There is so much more going on than I expected and it is just plain fun.

It's probably the game which has distracted me the most from my current objective.

The number of "ooooo what's that?" moments that derailed the next couple hours entirely was massive.

Maybe my first oblivion playthrough comes close but not much else.
