We’re definitely different players, I found Artorias and Kalameet far harder than Friede or Malenia.

That’s fair. I’m a massive ER fan, probably my all-time favourite game, I’m actually currently playing it while responding to my inbox. I’ve maxed out playthroughs on PC and deleted some for new runs, plus I have played it several times on PS5, so I’m thinking maybe 15-20 times I’ve beaten the game. I think the DLC is the best content they’ve ever released. But if you were meh on the base game you probably wouldn’t like it as much as I did.

I feel you on the backlog though, mine is quite large and only getting worse. I really need to play some unplayed games but I keep replaying Souls and Elder Scrolls games. Oh well.

After many years when I was younger playing the same games over and over I've tried to be stern with myself over the past few years and have a reasonably strict no-replay policy. I too default to comfort food if I let myself and constantly feel the pull to go back to Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout: New Vegas or STALKER: Anomaly again and again. But I've been challenging myself with trying to experience new things as a sort of cultural enrichment and mostly been happier for it. There were so many huge releases I missed that I've been able to experience over the past couple of years.

It definitely is harder on the wallet though, even doing 90% of the shopping on deep sales.

I should probably implement a similar system. Elden Ring, Dark Souls 1 & 3, Sekiro, Oblivion, and Skyrim probably take up >90% of my all-time playtime. At the same time, I’ve got a strong itch to replay Sekiro again so maybe after one more playthrough of that.
