From Titanfall 3 to Lord of the Rings Online 2, gamers debate which games they need to cure their gaming fatigue

As the years go by, seasoned veterans of the gaming world slowly fall into what is known as “gaming fatigue”, where they have no idea what to play next. Fortunately, discussions on the topic are not that rare, and players in a Reddit thread think they have the solutions.

A Reddit user posted a question on the r/gaming subreddit on August 7, asking for help with their current “dream game” and expressing that “they’re not excited about anything.” So they asked around to see what people would play if they could, whether it was a sequel or something completely new, and they came up with the example of a “completely new IP” with a lot of exploration, similar to the new Zelda games.

One user said he would like to see a game similar to The Simsbut with “better AI and crime.” They described a lot of sandbox-style gameplay that we know from the GTA series: “Let me attack a guy in the fruit and vegetable aisle for taking the last watermelon, then have me fight the cops in the parking lot while my wife and two kids watch.” Depending on where Rockstar takes its next crime-ridden title, we could see something like this happen.

Another said that their dream game has always been a video game adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series of novels. “They all lend themselves so well to the genre,” they wrote, and given how the books blend genres from dark fantasy to western to sci-fi, a game set in the universe could potentially spawn an entire franchise with direct adaptations and spinoffs.

Titles like a third Titan Fall game, or a sequel to the legendary LOTR online are also mentioned as possible solutions to gaming fatigue problems.

But let’s be honest, it’s all well and good to dream of the best possible title, the one that would pull you back into the world of video games and give you that feeling you had all those years ago. But what could do that better, especially if you were around in the early 2000s, than Half-Life 3? After all, there have been rumors lately that something like this is in development at Valve, and I have every confidence that it will come out. Gaming would be back at its peak.
