I used to really love gaming, but my interests have sharply changed in the last decade, and honestly I can barely manage to conjure up the desire to finish anything. Maybe I'm mentally ill IDK. I really liked playing Fez over the last year or so, and that's it. Nothing else has really grabbed me (I did finish Journey and the Ori sequel though). Over the last year I've tried: Far Cry 1, Puzzle Quest, Faster than Light, and Cluster Truck. I really need help rekindling this once burning flame, or the embers will die out.

    I tried Hollow Knight a couple times, but everything seems so needlessly difficult, I usually like games like that too. Do you have a suggestion similar to HK that won't just punish me for playing?

      Yeah, the combat can be unforgiving. Once you get the hang, it's manageable. Ori and the blind forest was good, too

        I loved the first Ori. The sequel is meh. I'll try HK again because you mentioned it though.

          I definitely got dramatically better at it from grinding a few bosses, but it's possible to explore your way around a chuck of them and power up your stuff before doing the main story

      Dead Cells is pretty good if you want more combat oriented. If you want a more chill experience the first Ori and Owlboy are neat.

        I think I have Dead Cells and Owlboy in my steam library. I'm willing to give them a go-around until I get a job.
