Can't bring myself to start new game.

Just take a break. It can happen with anything, anytime. Human nature. Focus on something else, follow an another passion of yours or discover something new. When the time comes, you can play again. It's not about the game you play, it's just a psychological event in your peak of life.

I've had the same after reading a book, or finishing a TV series, when it ends I just need some time to think about it and don't feel like starting something new.

Don't "push" yourself to do something like "playing games" in a fix "way".
Play when you want and what you want.

I know the "feeling guilty because not played enough won games" but when you feel guilty it will not help to have fun in your life from/with the wins.
As long as you know you will play them earlier or later it is ok.

And besides that, games aren't the most important thing in a life.

Feelings, as you have it from a good story, from a impressive song and all such things are more valuable and will be longer in your life, far after you are done with the game itself special by games that haven't something from that stuff giggling ^^

Take the pleasure, avoid negative feelings and you are happy and reached "the sense of life" ;o)

It's like breaking up with someone you've spent a long time with: you don't wanna rush into something new and trivialize either the new relationship or the old one. You also can't enjoy the new relationship if you're still reminiscing about the old one. You just need a little you time to get your thoughts and feelings in order, and once you're ready, you can begin again.

In my experience it's the best if you're aware of this feeling, and you're okay with doing something else instead of playing. I had such a dry season in 2019 November/December, and now in January I finished 14 games of varied length ( 1 hour to 15 hours) because I was in the mood for them. Just be patient with yourself :)

Great, now you made me think about Monika again :(

I'm having a hard time playing any game at all, for quite a while now. I want a great fantasy MMORPG - nothing else seems interesting.
And the titles I'm curious about are years away from release.

So Netflix it is

It happens with me sometimes.
MGSV Ground Zeroes was the longest.. I couldn't touch a game after it for about 2-3 weeks, shit in the cassette tapes related to Chico & Paz really got to me.
Hell it still affects me as I can't bring my self yet to 100% The Phantom Pain (won it here, PA group)

Just give it time to sink in, no one is chasing you so don't force yourself to start another game if you are not feeling it yet.

When this happens to me i just jump to another medium for a while. Go catch up on your tv/movie/comic/book backlog until the urge to play a new game comes back!

I get like this after a good book series. I find it hard to get into something else, even if that something else is potentially fantastic. I just find that I want to be back in the world of the other book. The best way, I find, to get out of that is to get away from reading and do something else, then come back a week later and read something pretty small. I've even read some older children's books at times just for some light and sillier reading in between. XD.

The same principle can be applied to games. If you're after completing some really good game that had you immersed in it's world, the best thing to do is get away from games for about a week, do something different like watch a series, or read a short book. When you come back, don't try to start something else big. Play some small games from your library, ones that you can finish in a day or two and that aren't particularly immersive.

I've honestly been on this massive block myself. Mine's been more a case of being kept away from gaming for the best part of a year due to being too sick to play. Up until about August of 2019, I was in bits physically lol. I still haven't been able to get back into gaming in the way that I used to, but I don't force it because then I'll just get more fed up. And you shouldn't feel guilty either. You will play them when you get around to playing them. That's how I look at it.

Bump!

You may find after a bit of a look-see experience inside yourself that you're just gaming to just game; you're playing because you still remember all those times you had a great experience, and already you've built these experiences up to such an expectation. You're playing because you hope that out of all the progress you've made, you can have at least one moment to indulge in the nostalgia.

Does that sound like you?

For me, I find myself appreciating games better in general after taking up a new weekly activity. For me, it's work and school.
For anyone else, it could be a new hobby - travel, culinary, or learning in general.

Seems like everything that I wanted to say has been said. Variety is the spice of life thing, it's not just games.

I find the best way to beat such obsessions is to just give into them, enjoy it while it lasts. It usually sorts itself out in the end.
Backlog guilt?! Welcome to the club buddy, welcome to the club.... Oh maaan, look how many there are....

Well, I can't bring myself to play anything for some time now. Tried to finally finish Dark Souls recently, but turned it off after 30 minutes or something. Games aren't fun anymore, even though I want to play them.

For me it's different but when I get that similar feeling I go searching on HLTB through my library for what games are very short, 30min - 1 hour, it won't feel super nice finishing but it will make you feel like "okay I completed something on my list" but with a taste of "that didn't feel rewarding or satisfying at all" which then leads me to playing a AAA game XD.

play longer games. or f2p games,

like I don't want to watch a movie again after I've watched the movie, because I think I don't want to see what I've seen and only see the reality or that i have never known, unless they make a sequel and I forget the story only if I want to watch it again

I usually dont think about it couple of days later when I have finished a great game. Like both Doki Doki and Everlasting Summer that you mentioned.

I tend to do one of two things: throw myself into a similar game that's supposed to have a great story, to get as close as I can to more of the same, or play something completely different so that I'm not comparing the two experiences.

I also like to browse and edit the game/book/whatever's TV Tropes page and search for fan content! Good fanfic, fanart and analysis are a great way to gently feed an obsession without requiring more of the source material.

play wow & forget about that

Happens to me all the time. I usually end up playing Eurotruck until I'm over it
