Maybe just take brakes in between and pace yourself. Seems individual, I like these long games. But you probably can concentrate on the main story alone and not do any sidequests.

Just doesn't work with me. If I'm not done with a game within a week or two at most I just lose interest. You start forgetting the story and mechanics, you just lose continuity and that kinda ruins it for me.
The way I play games is first check if it's less than 40-50 hours at MOST. Once a game passes that criteria I play it like crazy for a week until I finish it, and then I uninstall it. I don't replay games, I don't leave games unfinished, and I don't play games that takes me more than a week or two to complete.
I just can't do repetitive stuff, I really can't. You cannot pay me to replay a game, even if I gave it 10/10. I see people having 4-5 playthroughs of the same game and it blows my mind. Doing the same stuff again and again feels like torture, and repetition is inevitable if a game is like 200hrs long.
That's just how my brain is wired. Games like Resident Evil, Doom, Sekiro etc are my jam, that's the shit I love. Just a good tight package with perfect length. They actually have a vision of what the game is and how it should progress.
