How do you get interested in gaming again when you are older?

Hi all, I’m 28 now and I really miss the old days when I managed to enjoy playing video games over longer periods of time. For instance, I could play various games like Football Manager, Age of Empires, Morrowind etc. over periods of time without getting tired of it.

Nowadays if I try the same games I can play for a short while and then I stop feeling motivated to play anymore. I think I stopped playing GTA 5 after four hours. It might be because I don’t see the end goal of the games to be interesting, I’m not sure. So now I am mostly interested in playing competitive games against my friends like for instance football games. As winter times are perfect for gaming I would like to try out Red Dead Redemption 2 among others, however I do lack a bit motivation.

Any tips from the true gamers here? 😁
