Yes i am aware that is a Generic Title and im not trying to be all “Grrr these Modern Games are destroying us >:((((((” :P
but more so on the Side of that you now have access to all these Games for like usually a few Bucks here and there due to all the Sales on Platforms like Steam and GOG for Example :P
But it just feels like you cant decide and have too much to play and choose from X_X
and thats not really a “Oh Digital Gaming Bad” per se as i do notice it with my Physical Collection as well of course that i cannot decide what i wanna play >.>
But more so that Gaming just feels “more difficult” and also a ton more Toxic and Mean maybe? >.>
Like for example when i look at old Conventions like E3 or even Gamescom from the 2010s im like “Holy Shit look at all these Cool Games” but obviously nowadays its just “meh” really >.>
Afterall E3 is Dead and Gamescom is basically overrun by Influencers all Day >.>
But for example also Game Trailers kinda feel Weird in a Sense? >.>
Like i do not wanna bash Editors of these Trailers of course but for example i watched the Borderland 2 Trailer a few Months back and i really enjoyed it personally same with the Bioshock 2 or Super mario Galaxy Trailers for Example :P
Like i am unsure if “well structured” is the right Word as obviously modern Game Trailers are also well structured tho its just that something feels different >.>
Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<
This ain’t quite what you’re asking about, but I think this is an underlying factor. I’m guessing you’re in your 20s. It’s not an exact age bracket, as life can make this happen earlier or later.
Games change over time. So do your responsibilities. The market is bigger than ever. You likely have less time than ever. You’re struggling to get into the hype and lore of an unfamiliar game with a community divided among other hot titles while, presumably, working full time, commuting, making food, cleaning, laundry, exercise, and doomscroll loops. To add onto it, so many games are artificially demanding attention by way of limited time events.
I have a few comfort games. I have a few long term campaign games pinned at a time. I have a couple new games pinned at a time. While that applies to PC and console, I also keep about 4 discs sitting at my console at a time. Narrowing down a large library to just ~8 on hand makes it easier to get into something for an extended length of time. Even if it’s been sitting for years, pinning it helps remind me. It helps me get into the lore and enjoy the game more when I’m not spending 30 minutes deciding how to best spend my time, then getting too late for proper immersion in the hour left.
Don’t feel bad playing a game that’s not right, not the best use of time, not the hottest, part of the “game industry problem” as defined by random commenters, whatever. Just play. I may be bummed I haven’t finished some 2015 era campaign yet, but at least I’m not bummed I sat and did nothing if I manage to get some game time.

3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
