Yeah, that’s totally fair. You’re definitely not alone in those feelings, it’s just not something I personally share.

I’m almost the other way around in that I’m pretty easily satisfied with most games. I don’t have much time for gaming these days, between work, raising a kid (still just a baby), and trying to be a good husband, so by the time I’m actually able to play something, I usually just want to shut off my brain and play something to have fun with it. It’s usually after they’re both asleep, so it’s either game or sleep myself. With that being said, sticking with a game is a different story. I bounce off a lot of titles these days. I’ve been trying to get into Morrowind for years, currently on another attempt. I’m really enjoying it so far, and I have enjoyed my other attempts too, it’s just never hooked me before. I really hope this time I get properly hooked and get to sink a good amount of time into it. It’s not a game I can turn my brain off for but I also don’t need laser focus for it either, so it’s a good balance. If I get too mentally drained I play either Oblivion or Skyrim, both of which I have so much time in I can practically play asleep, plus it keeps me in the Elder Scrolls mindset. My problem before was my backup game was always a Soulslike, which is usually my preferred genre these days, but then I get sucked into that rabbit hole and don’t touch Morrowind again for a while. I’m hoping that sticking with the same series keeps me in the mood for it and I can play it a bit more consistently.

Like you said, weird brain thinks how it does, there’s not much I can do about it. Except maybe trick it into wanting to play a game I know I’m going to enjoy. It sucks I need to force myself to do something I enjoy though. Oh well.
