Comment on Finishing a video game can trigger “post-game depression,” study finds
yakko@feddit.uk 20 hours agoI straight up stopped playing Silksong when I got to the endgame bosses. I’m not ready to say goodbye. I’m lucky to have unfinished business with older games in my collection, but I’ve also literally bought and beaten other games since then as well. It’s an emotional reluctance for sure.

Just throwing out that I’m on my third silksong playthrough and still having a blast. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye either.

I get that. For me the first playthrough carries with it an emotional finality because my time is more limited, and I know I’m too drawn to new games to linger once I have a sense of completion. A game has only to cleverly deny me that feeling, and I’ll spend hundreds of hours on it. Slay the Spire did that well, but I know Silksong won’t - because the story hits harder.
