Gorge or Savor?

Both.

It's a difficult balance. When I like something too much, it makes me not wanna think about anything else. If I can't think of anything else, I wanna replay it. But sometimes replaying a game too soon or often will ruin it. I've had that happen with a few games in the past (most notably A Link to the Past and Wind Waker) and I regret it. However, there are games that continue to hold up no matter how many times you play through them, good examples for me being the two games I've done speedruns of (Super Metroid and Ori WotW) - with these, I got into the idea of speedrunning exactly because I was still having a great time with them after replaying them multiple times.

I started my second playthrough of the new Guardians game shortly after finishing it, but over a month later I'm still not even 25% into the game the second time around. It probably wasn't the right time for it, but again, it is hard when you can't really think about anything else. Especially with something like Guardians where I've continued to love the movies after watching either of them dozens of times, but the game definitely doesn't feel as replayable as those are rewatchable.

I think all in all, I'd be the former. Uhh, that's... Gorge, I guess? I've never heard of these terms before. I've always been the type to replay/rewatch whatever I love several times over, but lately I've been trying to broaden my horizons a bit more and control myself a bit better because I don't want to burn myself out on anything again.

 I assume it's just a misspelling or maybe US english,  savour meaning  taste,  gourge means to excessively eat in one sitting .
