Gaming was like breathing. It was the biggest part of my life as a teenager, one of my priorities as a college student, and eventually one of my most expensive “hobbies” as a young professional.
Then all of a sudden, after thousands of hours spent playing across genres and platforms, boredom hit me hard for the very first time in my early thirties. Some of my favorite games soon gave me the impression of being terribly long. I couldn’t help but notice all the repeating tropes and similarities in game design between franchises.
I figured it was just a matter of time before I found the right game to stimulate my interest again, but time continued to go by and nothing changed.
Is it that games have failed to innovate, or that real life is ultimately more engaging?

If you ever get a chance, Little Big Planet is a seriously fun game. Though, best played with a friend. It was / is a Play Station 3+ exclusive.
The right VR game could impress as well. I'm pretty easy to please though, just give me fireballs in both hands and we've got a winner. Some of the environments are just plain fun as well. Even informative, like the Mars Rover one. You go warp around to different spots in the same area with plaques that have cool info. Stuff like, the size of the curiosity rover, along with a 3D model of it. Lots of fun to be had with a VR headset. Fallout 4 / Skyrim weren't designed with VR in mind, but they sure are fun to play in VR anyways. One of the funnest games I've played in VR is a tower defense+fps game that is free. They didn't have great graphics or the like, but it was a really fun game. I'm not really sold on 360 movie / cinema experiences, but it just could be that I've not seen the right thing yet. I would probably be all over a Planet Earth like 360 film, though. That would be amazing.
