What should I play next after finishing an RPG slump?

[Steven_R]

I just finished a big RPG and I'm completely stuck on what to play next. My backlog is full, but nothing feels right after that kind of commitment, you know? I think I might be in a post-game slump.

I've been there. After that big RPG I hit a real slump too. I did a tiny experiment. Twenty minutes on something totally different. If I still wasn't feeling it I stopped. Usually I stuck with it a bit and moved on.

I grabbed a short indie I could finish in a couple sessions, something with a small scope and no heavy lore. It didn't magically fix the mood, but it snapped me out of the treadmill sense for a while.

Are you sure the issue is the backlog and not burnout, tiredness, or stress? I asked myself that and it didn't solve anything, but it kept nagging.

Sometimes I go back to a comfort game I know I can finish with no pressure to chase the new thing. Other times I make a tiny mood list and pick a game that fits the vibe I want.
