I see myself in that Elden Ring part. I went 100% to prove a point, but was very bored of it for most of my playthrough. I completely understand the appeal, but the gameplay loop doesn't click with me. Every person is different and fun works just as differently for everyone.
I see my addiction to TBS games and can replay them over and over again, no matter how repetitive and have my wife literally fall asleep while playing with me.
