I feel burnt out on most video games.

If I feel burnout on a game that I like, I take a break and might come back later. If a game doesn't suit my taste, I drop it and make time for other games in my huge backlog.
Here are the methods that help me a lot:
- changing genre
- alternating between shorter and longer games
- changing game generation (i.e. picking retro games to play once in a while)
- trying out indie games which usually have more creative gameplay than most AAA games.
My greatest burnouts:
- Genshin Impact became Burnout Impact on me in 2021. I took a break for a few months, then came back later when a new character that I liked was introduced to the game (Kamisato Ayato). Right now I am feeling burnt out again, but I still play it because my friends are still playing, sunk-cost fallacy, and extrinsic rewards (primogems, in-game currencies). However, I am not sure how long it will last, and how impactful the next burnout will be.
- Final Fantasy VII Remake (main story) did not cause me a burnout, but translating the game did. I made a Thai language mod for the game and went through game's text again and again. So much so that I felt like it was a never-ending process. So after I finish translating the main story subtitles, I took a break and played a few games. Right now I pick it up again to play INTERmission (the DLC) before translating it. Hopefully it won't cause me a burnout, because the DLC story is not that long.
