We keep getting older, the games stay the same (and science backs that up).

Despite a wider variety than ever before, video games don’t have the same effect on me as they used to. That might not sound like a problem to some of you, but it is to me. I have played video games from the early days of my childhood, starting somewhere around the late ’70s. I became heavily addicted to my Atari, and I can still remember the thrill I felt the day I bought my first PlayStation 22 years ago.
-
Gaming was like breathing. It was the biggest part of my life as a kid and teenager, one of my priorities as a college student, and eventually one of my most expensive “hobbies” as a young professional.
-
Then all of a sudden, after thousands of hours spent playing across genres and platforms, boredom hit me hard for the very first time in my early forties. Some of my favorite games soon gave me the impression of being terribly long. I couldn’t help but notice all the repeating tropes and similarities in game design between franchises.
-
I figured it was just a matter of time before I found the right game to stimulate my interest again, but time continued to go by and nothing changed.
