Hey everyone!

I really passionate about games but I struggle a lot to finish the storyline for a lot of them. There are some games I would love to finish like Eastward or Sea of Stars, but I feel unable to reasume them. I feel like if the game is not a dopamine trap(League or Civ VI) I can't continue playing it.

Does anyone here has face this issue and have found a way to work on it?

Same here but different. I'll do all the side quests and then when only the main story is left I'm bored and quit playing even if the story is really good. If I do just do the main story and skip a lot of side quests I lose all interest in the game after the story is done. Only 3 games that arnt like this forbme are rdr2 gtav and ghost of tsuhima.

I loved BOTW and TOTK but I wouldn't have finished if my SO didn't play half and make me play the harder parts he couldn't pass. It's somehow more fun to watch than play.
