Switch it up when it comes to Metroidvania. I played a bunch and got burned out. All amazing games, of course. But playing that much of the same genre kinda made skip out on some of the recent ones. Ended up going from Shovel Knight to Mummy Demastered to Hollow Knight to Bloodstained to Dread to Sundered. I want to play Dead Cells, Blasphemous, Pizza Tower, and some others, but I haven't gotten that urge. I'll play a few minutes then quit and play something else.
Well that's me anyway. I'm sure I'll get that want back eventually, but it's been awhile. I'm just hoping the same doesn't happen to other games cause I'm still enjoying Deep Rock and Baldur's.
It's what happened to me with simultaneously playing 2 or 3 of these huge open worlds that demand 100 hours (I have a job, that takes me forever), I was getting tired of it. So now I'm playing smaller indie games too. And also playing what I actually want to play, not what I feel like I should because it is popular, a classic, or just because it is in my backlog.
Oh and also, it's ok if I don't finish a game, I can put 7-8 hours into it and then quit without guilt
