I’ve recently managed to setup a modded Skyrim install. Wanted to setup and play for months. And now… Zero. Same thing happened with bloodlines a while back.
During the day the spark of wanting to play comes. But as soon as I get home. It just disappears. And end up doing other things. It feels like wanting to play the game is more appealing than actually playing it.
How do y’all manage it?
I’m currently in this rut. I want to play tons of games, but every time I sit at my computer, I end up staring at my Steam library and not committing to anything. I might boot up a game, play for maybe 30 minutes, then log out because I’m just not feeling it.
I started a game review blog here on Lemmy, but I’m having trouble finding games I want to discuss lately. It’s been about 2 months since I last posted. Fortunately, I’m doing it as an unpaid hobby so there’s no pressure to write, but I just can’t get started lately.
Even worse, this is my favorite season so I really want to play some good horror games and discuss them. But we’re a week into October and I still haven’t played anything worthwhile yet.
I think I’m just in a slump right now. Life’s been exhausting lately and I’ve just been going through the motions. Eventually, things will pick up and I’ll be motivated again. Until then, I just need to ride it out.
Ooh I remember you! It was fun seeing people having takes on some older games I had actually played while on the train. Mainly kona and Pacific drive.
My 2¢ when you also manage to get out of this purgatory is valley, parkour/puzzle based for the sake of exploring what happened to the place. Story driven and pretty good from what I remember. I played it back when it came out.
The other one is ultrakill. Frenetic as fuck boomer shooter. Most of the fun comes with learning tricks and acing levels and challenges. Not everyone’s cup of tea. Still. Hakita’s a musician and it shows a lot. The soundtrack is great. And the game was originally made to promote an album iirc. Played before the last round of exams sucked all will from me.
anything in particular that’s also stuck in your list?
Ooh, I have both of those games in my Steam library but I haven’t played either. That might be fun to check out.
I was hoping to write a review on Metal Gear Solid ∆, as MGS 3 is one of my favorite of the series, but I got distracted on my first playthrough and didn’t get very far. I need to go back and play a bit more of that before I review it.
Other games I’d eventually like to write about include Jump Space, FBC: Firebreak, Hollow Knight, Helldivers II, The Division, The Stanley Parable, PowerWash Simulator, Overlord, Something from the DOOM franchise, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3… and a whole bunch more.
As far as horror games for the season, I’m thinking about reviewing Zoochosis and the Poppy Playtime series. I know there are others I’m interested in, but they’re not coming to mind at the moment.
