This reads like someone who only watches Marvel movies complaining about how they've lost interest in movies because they all feel the same.

If you don't branch out and expand beyond the bog-standard, yeah, eventually it'll all feel the same.

Edit: Some recommendations below. These aren't even wild experimental/arthouse games, just slightly more creative.

- Outer Wilds

- Disco Elysium

- Rhythm Doctor

- Return of the Obra Dinn

- Death's Door

- Hotline Miami

- The Talos Principle

- The Witness

- Into the Breach

- Invisible Inc.

- What the Golf?

- The Forgotten City

- Frostpunk

- Slay the Spire

- This War of Mine

- Hades

- Dead Cell

- Elsinore

- I Am Dead

- Subnautica

- Gunpoint

- Katana: Zero

- Hollow Knight

Actually, this reads like someone who watches Marvel movies over and over for thousands of hours.

Games to me are like books. I play them once, and move on. Occasionally I find a great game, and after a few years I might pick it back up and re-play it.

I in no way mean this as a negative, but I find it amazing that people like you exist. Despite owning over 10,000 games (due to a digital hoarding compulsion) I think I have played no more than 30, 45 at the absolute most, games in the last 15 years.

I seem to be the exact opposite of you, in that I play a game for huge amounts of hours and just never try another unless I truly feel compelled to play it. I have multiple thousands of hours in 5-6 games over the last 4 years. Before Elden Ring in February the last game I bought was God of War in 2018.

I am truly amazed that people can exist on so wide a playing spectrum.

Isn't that amazing? We have the freedom to pick and choose whatever playing (or non-playing) style fits our heart and rocks our boat!

I still rather enjoy videogames in my advanced age, and yet here I find that your list is the equivalent of white toast.

Can you elaborate what you mean by that? From this list there's a pretty wide variety of genres and exploratory styles of games. Maybe instead of shitting on somebody else's list of recommendations, you should put up or shut up yourself.

White toast? You sound like one of those guys who pays $15 for "avocado toast".

And just to make sure this post is not entirely a roasting session, I personally would put Ori ahead of hollow knight, but they are both great games.

Even white toast is flavourful to someone who's tired of gruel.

You should share a list of your own recommendations!

Disco. Elysium. Is so good.
