We all have that one game or genre that never gets old and we return to time and time again.

What is it for you and why is that the case?

A bit different from the question but

Outer Wilds.

I've spent a lot of time in it and have 100% it, so it's hard to find a reason get back in, but even just booting to the title screen just completely transports me.

Why? Outer Wilds was just an incredible experience, and the OST is astounding and the music completely soaked up the experience and can bring it all back just by listening.

I recently bough it at a steam sale but didn't get into it at first. Maybe I'll try again soon.

Same, because I can't seem to make any progress at all. I don't really know what the goal is. I keep taking off and go fool around on planets until the time resets, and it's pleasant enough. But I haven't wrapped my head around the mystery so far

I didn't even get that far. Hopped on the ship, explored a bit of the starting planet, then the closest bodies and couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I get that the idea is to research the mystery behind the ancient texts, but I wasn't really feeling compelled to.

Yea it's really not holding your hand,... but to the point where there's hardly any motivation except for the pleasure of exploration itself
