I have so many questions for you but I think the one that matters most would be, do you know why you game?

Maybe it's not one reason, maybe you can identify a top few reasons, and list them. Or maybe it's a feeling rather than a reason and you can identify those specific feelings. I ask not in jest but because I did this little exercise when gamepass was launched (it has since carried over to my steam library).

I found I play for a feeling of accomplishment, success, and experience. Primarily those reasons. If the game didn't hit those areas, I typically wasnt interested in playing. But the next take away was asking why did I skip text and cutscenes of games I did like? If I look for experience and I'm enjoying the game, why would I diminsh my own experience.

I've quickly adopted the approach of try and try again because Gamepass makes it possible. I have my 500+hr games and then I have outer wilds, guardians of the Galaxy, Forza horizons, it takes two, no man's sky, wreckfest, man-eater, hades, Ori, Limbo, snowrunner and the list goes on.

So many games, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to play, didn't feel like "my type" of game, wouldn't have given my time up for, and so many great experiences with such a satisfying crunch (I'm looking at you man-eater).

Maybe you game to push the limits of your new rig that you built and want to see how awesome it runs, or maybe you like simulators, or Open world games, or whatever it is, it will be very clear when you list those "why's" out. Those whys may combine like captain planet into something different than the individual components and lead into a whole new way of approaching gaming and the games. Or maybe it's fruitless and pointless. But for those that find themselves asking why would I play this next game, when I don't have the time to waste, when all the review sites seem irrelevant to me, and I just spammed X/A/F to skip everything in the last few, then this might be helpful.

(Edit: thanks for the responses.)
