BTD6?
That game is so addicting...
I've had this problem(?) a few times in my life. Having a several month break from gaming helped me ignite the spark once again.
Anyone else having a hard time after beating zelda totk?
Try the Risen or even the old Gothic games. They're definitely old and janky but there's a ton of exploration and discovery packed in with the old and the jank. Dark Souls and company are also worth looking in to if you haven't played them. Get Prepare to Die edition instead of Dark Souls remastered. Read some guides for the first Dark Souls - It has some mechanics that can really fuck you over. But the second and third one, plus Elden Ring, you can mostly just fuck around there's nothing particularly high stakes.

With some of the really good games that have come out recently, I've learned it really isn't just me not having interest/motivation. It is, in fact, that most games just fucking suck now. 🤷🏻♂️
AAA titles are mostly re-optomized towards selling you more of the game, by withholding that game's content and reselling it for more than they would've gotten.
This is partly a side effect of game value being mostly stagnant for years but also just greed in general.
Indie games have been a huge boon for me due to that, no bullshit, just a game; a fun game.
Literally, indie titles and games made by smaller companies (AA titles like Dishonored) have been the most fun for me to date.

Dont worry, it will come Back(maybe with a new different kind of game)
That deep fear of being homeless and hungry if shit goes sideways irl really takes the punch out of how much I give a shit if a sparkly pixel on my tv screen falls off a ledge or whatever.
I don't play games with dark patterns anymore. And seems like almost all of them went deep into that territory which severely limits what I can play.
