In this video, I break down why modern gaming feels like a chore, how we got trapped in this cycle of efficiency, FOMO, and endless checklists, and most importantly-how to break free and actually enjoy games again. No more playing for progress bars. No more optimizing the fun out of gaming. It’s time to just play. 🎮🔥

Question to you guys: How do you deal with feelings of burnout in gaming?
I just create some poitions in Oblivion, the time while you collect all the ingridients truly makes you relax and forget about life worries.
I usually play something maximally simplistic and braindead
alchemy is very underappreciated mechanic :)
I usually just take a break working on life stuff and then after several weeks when you come back it feels all renewed
Playing rpgs with the mindset of role playing not min maxing really helps with the burned out
Nothing burned me out more that playing sifu on hard difficulty😂
Sifu is quite unforgivable so I understand😂
I think theme of gaming burnout is very actual topic, saw another video on it recently, thanks for the vid :)
Glad you liked it! :)
I sometimes have this sunken cost feeling with games, where I force myself to finish them, despite not having fun already, just because I started
Yeah, sometime its hard to drop a game after you spent 20 hours on it without seeing the ending, even if it's a grindfest
Totally Agreed. I recently played Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 and gave up after 25 hours. Everything felt like a chore (casual gamer and don't have a lot of time to play)
Looking up how to progress early in elden ring is still one of my biggest regrets in gaming
Yeah it defeats the purpose of exploration, but also with elden ring if you dont follow guides you might mess up half the questlines in a game🥲
For me, there's nothing worse than starting a new game with friends, only to find out that they've already learned every part of it before even playing. They try to play as efficiently as possible, and you completely lose that feeling of discovering things together and the fun that comes from not knowing what to expect. Nice video!
Thank you a lot❤️ Yeah there is nothing like trying minecraft or terraria with friends who are pro there, cuz instead of exploring or discovering you are stuck making efficient zombie farm for money for couple hours🥲
Thank you for describing exactly how I feel! Everything you say in here is to the point and so true. Gaming has become a second job…. 😂
You are very welcome❤️ I hope if we talk more about it enough, the way how we play games is going to get better🙂
Very nice video, i related to a lot of what you said there especially with competitive games such as league of legends etc. I'm trying to focus on have fun while playing mostly solo games nowadays and exploring more genre. I recommend it thanks for the vid!
Thank you a lot!❤️ I think with all the toxic practices of modern multiplayer games(like liveservice and microtransactions for everything) the best way to be gaming is to do singleplayer😊
@NeuroTalkGaming I agree my friend
Gamers often forget that gaming is addictive
Being addicted means you just do it now because it used to be fun, but none of us grown gamers will get the same kick we got when we were still teenagers rushing home from school to boot that PS2
I think we can still rediscover at least part of this magic if we try🙂
All those battlepasses are the curse of modern videogaming
Totally agree, forceful logging into games for no reason than to grind
Nice vid!
Thank you a lot!❤️
Yeah competitive multiplayer games really make me burned out.
As they do us all, thank you for leaving a comment❤️
Being stuck in competitive/meta type games i feel has ruined me. I have a hard time picking a game and overthinking it and just going back to marvel rivals. When i played an old ninja gaiden i was having a-lot of fun until i got lost but it felt like really fun. And say what you will about it bring a nostalgia bend but i never played that game before lol
I think many of us feel stuck on modern competitive gaming and thats also the reason I started to replay a lot of older single-player titles to get that love for gaming back
this is why I think I wasted my time and money in POE2 the devs are the ones who made the game to intentionally be that way, VERY punishing if you make mistakes and EVEN MORE punishing if you don't follow meta and optimize everything. what a fucking joke.
streamers, lets players and data miners are ruining all games.
i said what i said
Well yeah, cuz many people even stopped playing and just watch others play, which defeats the whole purpose of games as interactive medium
