I've had a very poor few weeks, crashed very heavily from disaster after disaster, I won't get into details but I haven't been able to play more than 5 minutes of a game the last two weeks and techniques to get out of a gaming rut are probably pointless for me right now becaude this is not just confined to gaming burnout and mine won't work anyway but I could really do with being able to play games right now so I was wondering if anyone could share their go to plans to get out of a rut? Doesn't have to be of use to get into something massive like Baldurs Gate 3 which I tried to get going but it's to gargantuan a task, unfortunately the most simple of games, Soulstone Survivors and Keepers toll which are Vampire Survivors like games won't even stick. I'm hoping for something a little more complex and engaging than Tetris though. 

My go to strats are playing something simple with no story like tetris or sekiro that has muscle memory ingrained into me so eventually I'll get used to playing the game and want to actually play it, then I can move onto something new. Playing a masterpiece I know the ins and outs of like the back of my hand so I'm just following a path I've done many times before and finding a cosy game like a life sim or art style type game. (Sword of the sea and Coral Island are now installed but no luck) There are a few others but these are generally what works for me and are having no success currently. 

I've heard power washing simulator is an evergreen game that fills voids in between releases for people, gonna try that but can anyone add their own strategies to solve this problem?

Please and thank you. I might have made this thread before but I can not find anything to resurface.
