How do you get interested in gaming again

I really miss the old days when I managed to enjoy playing video games over longer periods of time. For instance, I could play various games like Football Manager, Age of Empires, Morrowind etc. over periods of time without getting tired of it.

Nowadays if I try the same games I can play for a short while and then I stop feeling motivated to play anymore. I think I stopped playing GTA 5 after four hours. It might be because I don’t see the end goal of the games to be interesting, I’m not sure. So now I am mostly interested in playing competitive games against my friends like for instance football games. As winter times are perfect for gaming I would like to try out Red Dead Redemption 2 among others, however I do lack a bit motivation.

Any tips from the true gamers here? Grin

  • My preferred game has changed enormously over the years so maybe you need to try different things and see what grabs you.  If you like micro management try the various factory games about at the moment - Factorio or Dyson Sphere Project.  Have you played the new X-Com game - management and combat.  

    Base building maybe so maybe Rimworld or Minecraft if you haven't tried it already.
