I can't stand FPS:es anymore. They are so repetitive and you need to concentrate too much. Also I guess I don't think violence is cool/exciting anymore since I got older.

Yes after years of playing FPS, the S in the acronym is pretty boring. I love the First Person perspective, I just wish more games would explore non-combat mechanic possibilities.

It's not a morality thing either, I am just bored of it and feel it is a massive crutch of an industry that's petrified to make a game without combat.

Agreed entirely. The Metroid Prime series scratches that itch for me. Perfect balance of combat and exploration. Now if only they’d finish MP4…
Ever tried Subnautica?
I have, I loved both games, exactly the kind of thing I mean too. The Occupation is another good example I like to recommend.
