Struggling with keeping my interest in singleplayer games
Why do singleplayer games feel like such a chore to play now? Every time I boot up a singleplayer game I only play it for like 10 minutes before getting bored and go back to online PvP games (they feel more rewarding). What is it? Depression? ADHD?

Find a new genre, new series, there's so many games I don't know where to start.
Get a dog.
bad game design.
I play mostly PvP because of this reason. I have countless great single player games, but...

I'm competitive, simple as that.

I enjoy out smarting my opponents with cunning and tact.

Maybe it's a power trip, but there's a thrill knowing that their best isn't enough to match mine.

I’m actually the opposite. Don’t get me wrong. Multiplayer games are fun but if I wanna chill I play single player games. I’m slowly getting back into a game called Valheim (is a mix of Minecraft and Dark Souls) where you can build a base, defend against monsters, eat food, and chillax.

If you want you can invite people to your server and you can build together.
I'm a game doctor, and I would say that it could be many things here.

Perhaps a psychological even occurring where one might feel they should think the game is boring because of peer pressure or common sentiment.

Not that? Maybe it's loneliness and need to spend time in multiplayer game to pique interests.

No?

Perhaps Biological

No?

Perhaps recent or long term game experience does is not sliding into the present grooves.

N?

Perhaps the game is too interesting and overwhelming causing fatigue or zoning out.
Why do you play singleplayer videogames might be a good question to ask yourself.

To me, I'm there for the story, possibly character development; If none of those are present, then the gameplay has to be top-notch, otherwise I don't think I would be interested.


Naturally, having the option to spoil myself a bit and have it all-in-one are my almost favorite videogames.
I do gotta be emotionally invested or capable of taking in the videogame, too.
