I’m in my late 30s now and over the past 6ish months, I have been gaming a lot less or I find myself gaming but not enjoying it.

I used to always have a game I wanted to play or revisit, but it seems that nothing is really catching my interest.

I’m mostly a retro gamer so I was always happy to revisit old titles. But now I get bored of them quickly.

Try changing your dynamic. The human brain thrives on novelty.

Play genres you normally wouldn't -- e.g: Hate horror games? Good - try out Silent Hill or some classics you skipped over.

Get a VR headset, go from 2D screen to proper full body 3D - fly a plane over the Andes, feel like you're actually flying. Pilot a huge mech. Build a colony on Mars with your own two hands.

Burnout happens and it's worth examining other areas in your life, but gaming's always been the wondrous thing it always has.
