I've been having trouble getting into a new game recently. I'd really like to be playing one but nothing grabs me. Combination of burn-out (too many games are just too similar), lack of time and probably too much choice is a factor too.
Tried "Prey" (the more recent version) recently. Looks decent, well-made, big-budget, but playing through the intro it just feels like "Oh, it's another one of these..."
DOOM (4) is the same. It's very well made, controls are good, graphics are good, but after playing through a couple of the stages it's just "And the rest will be more of this." - OK, well I've already had my fill, and I've played this style of thing a hundred times before too.
I'd be playing Fallout '76 right now if it was even half-good, but I read the reviews first so I won't be buying that one.
Dishonored 2 might be the one, but I started it playing as the girl, then read that her special movement ability (a highlight of the first game) isn't as good as the other character you can play as, so I might need to start over one that one. I wasn't far in at least.
Or I can just go back to Puyo Puyo Tetris. The "story" cut scenes are execrable, but at least skippable.
