I'm having this rather weird feeling at the moment. I'm browsing through the sales and I, for the life of me, can't find anything that intrigues me enough. And that is a bit worrying. Can anyone relate?

How... how do make this go away?

Well, for a change, it's not about money. I came prepared and have a nice budget for this sale. It's still unused.
Well if you are like the rest of us you will have a humongous backlog on GoG, Steam, PSN, HB etc. of unfinished or unplayed games so just go and play those instead.

If not that then I recommend Baldur's Gate 1 +2 Enhanced Editions.
Gotcha. Well look for specific game types/series that really get your attention...

I love space games but aren't that good at most of them. Still there's Ring Runner, love that game. Dex is free if you have enough XP, good cyberpunk semi-shadowrun game. SPAZ is good...

ToME and it's DLC. Victor Vran is good if you enjoy that kind of game...

I could probably list off a TON of games, but i think i'll refer to my suggested games gogmix :)

How about playing something you don't usually play. For example, if you never played cyberpunk games before, try Dex or any Shadowrun games? Or if you usually not interested in platformer, Owlboy has just been released some time ago

i can.........
i only got kingdom the far reaches it was very cheap and i want to see why it got all the bad reviews
but the game is not a game i would buy at listprice.

Also got The ABC Murders only because its 2.99 listprice 14.99 which was 17 or 19.99 but it seems the devs woke up and realised 19.99 is way to much even 9.99 is to much, i like broken sword better (not the 3d versions)

Tbh i feel sad this year i got like maybe 6 games compared to 20 or 30 or more in 2015 and 2014.

how to make this go away? the sadness?
well i go and buy some casual games retail (cd/dvd) or digital , hidden objects , i like these alot, i have >300 retail(cd/dvd rom)

and alot digital on gamersgate and steam together.
I need to spend some cash once a while, spend 40 to 50 euros on gamersgate and steam the last week.
One solution might be to get more old games
i have a shipload of good games on GG and steam the bad thing is most have tages securom i dont want that

Usually I'm up for trying something new. Before this I was like "hey, that looks interesting" and then most likely bought that. Now I'm trying to find that same feeling, but can't. I'm just "Meh, pixel graphics", "meh, platforming".

I may have become old. Perhaps grumpy.

Bear with it and hope that the next sale will be the one. If not, then do the unthinkable and start playing games till the next sale and so on. Hey, it worked for me.

Nope, it's the "I have too many games for my own good" syndrom. I have exactly the same feeling (minus the budget :p). Not buying anything because :
3 - my backlog is just too big
2 - my money is just too low
1 - I'm just "meh" in front on most of the games

I'm sure it'll go away in a couple of months, after clearning my head doing other things than playing a lot for a while, I think.
I'll assume that you've got a back log and now its time to stop buying and time to start playing.
Is there going to be a release today? Not a big deal, just curious.

Perhaps it's time for retro gaming other than on PC. You could buy yourself a Playstation 1 ...or 3 (it's backwards compatibile for PS1 gaems AFAIK)....
