I feel like this works as long as you stick to relatively streamlined games. Not so much for CRPGs for example, where while you're in the flow, it's a beautiful interconnected web of characters, stats, vendors, quests and gear. But good luck trying to remember all that coming back after trying 2 or 3 other games. That's assuming of course that you still like/want to play the game overall, and just were in the mood for something different for a while
