I used to be a League of Legends only guy. I also played Fifa on the side. Basically: competitive online games only.
The problem is they have a heavily addictive gameplay loop, and it takes seconds to get into a game. Win a game? Dopamine is high and you wanna keep chasing it. Lose a game? Keep playing until you get that high.
I managed to get away from it, and at the moment I’m focusing on ‘hard’ single player games. Hades, Elden Ring, Megabonk (lol), that kind of thing and I am having an absolute blast. I’m realising that ‘hard’ gaming is my preference, whether online or offline.
I think it’s completely normal to have a preference when it comes to gaming. Playing a completely different genre is more of a risk, when you know you prefer e.g., rogue likes, why would you stray from them?
