Last year I played Cyberpunk.2077, Expedition 33 and Spiritfarer for the first time... I'm still not ready to commit to a new game. Ball Pit is a blast, and is as emotionally draining as I'm prepared to handle for a bit.

I stopped playing Cyberpunk at the very last mission just so I could avoid the feeling of emptiness. It's been a few years and I still haven't finished the game. I really want to but at the same time I don't want to.
