In my experience—and I know this is advice you explicitly stated as not wanting to hear—the most effective strategy to get me out of gaming over-saturation has been to simply game less. From late-2022 all the way through until early-2025, I used to game 12hr/wk (specifically on Saturdays). My passion for gaming was sky high during 2023 but came slowly crashing down throughout 2024. Once 2025 hit, I was too exhausted to play anything. So, I took some time away from gaming (mid-April all the way until the launch of NS2) and…yeah…the results have been very good. What was once a slog of several 8/10 games has turned into every game being a near masterpiece. MKWorld, DragXDrive, DKBananza… I have fallen in love with all three of these games!
If you’re not looking to step away from gaming, however, then it might be worth contemplating on the “why” behind your recent disinterest. Tackling an issue by its root cause is always an effective strategy, though may take a long time to figure out. Also, simple games with no story? Have you considered looking into Nintendo? That’s the main draw for me with Nintendo games. They aren’t too heavy.
