68 and still play video games. The issue for me these days is finding a game that offers something different or new. Over the years, I’ve played everything from Decathlon to Balance of Power, Doom, System Shock, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Civilization, even several years of WOW. Recent years, I’ve tried several other MMOs, as well as frequently well reviewed games like Kerbal, Crusader Kings, etc. After 30-40 years of periodic gaming, most of what I see comes across as derivative, offering little that’s new or intriguing. In the absence of immersion and flow, video games fail to provide the relaxation effect that I look for in games to balance my more intellectual pursuits.
