I am really struggling to enjoy games at the moment, the last memorable ones have been * Arma 3 because its a sandbox and I can script my own missions etc. * Doom reboot, purely for the nostalgia For older games from my childhood like Half Life, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Command and Conquer. I might dust them out for an hour or two but the novelty goes away quickly, maybe its because of ageing graphics or I don't remember them as I used to. Another factor is that working on a PC all day makes its less desirable for me to then come home and sit on my home PC and play games. The reboot situation is interesting as it gives companies a chance to make money out of an old IP and the fanbase can rekindle some of their younger days playing those games.

> I might dust them out for an hour or two but the novelty goes away quickly This has been my experience as well. Over the last few years over and over again I'll start games I've played before but within an hour or two I've lost interest in playing. I remember enough of the overall plot and mechanics that the only thing that still sticks out to me is the repetitive, grindy bits of the game (and all games have them). A few times I've turned to cheating to level characters, unlock stuff, bypass all the grind parts and just enjoy the story or game mechanics, but even then it's not as interesting as it used to be.
