gaming fatigue... what can be done?
gaming sickness might be a better term for it, because im not tired of playing games per se. it's the way i play games and able to enjoy them is... extremely unhealthy and i dont know what to do.

winning in a singleplayer game is just not enough for me. i don't feel any gratification unless i win in the "right way" which changes all the time.
there might be a boss fight that i can win after a try or two, but then i suddenly feel that winning only matters if i beat him with a specific, underpowered weapon. or that i must perfect-parry his attacks at least X times
if i die from a surprise attack and then return to the same place, i feel i must be "surprised" again for the ambush to be legitimatly beaten so i intentionally take damage even if i know that attack is coming and have an easy way to avoid it

it's sorta like OCD but only for gaming, and it constantly changes, which makes me stuck in death loops and waste lots of time because i constantly feel a victory is "unearned" so i must do it "right" otherwise, have no right to progress.

and what happens if i just say "F it" and progress even though mentally i feel i don't deserve to? i just feel bad and can't enjoy the game for a long time....

anyone else has similiar experiences like this? what can be done? i want to enjoy the games i play but now it seems to be out of my control

Maybe take a break? Do something else, spend time on other hobbies or activities? That's what I do when I experience less satisfaction from gaming.

I have to be honest with you, I get gaming fatigue too, the feeling when I dont feel like playing video game .

through out my history, at the frequency that I have been playing games, I should be feeling gaming fatigue a long time ago,

at some point, I decided to write to have a child with the language in the media content they supposedly supported, that's how I convinced myself into gaming more, or listening music more.

but they could say that by the time I get that idea, I already played too much video game. I would have a whole set of vocabulary that's contradicting the language and doctrine that the people around me are accustomed to.

anyways, even with that, its beginning to wear off fast.

It probably means you're just good. Maybe try fighting games, in those if you get too good all you have to do is play another character. My favorute fighting game is DOA5LR and my main is Tina Armstrong, if i get bored I try to learn another character and the joy starts all over.

if action not fun and action not productive either, don't do action

Do what everyone else does and spend time on OT. After covid lockdowns a lot of gamers burned out from playing. I will never not use something in order to beat a boss. I get most joy at wielding something I fought so hard to get. If it offers no further challenge and I can't go higher in difficulty I'll just move on to something else. Elden Ring for example, I defeated every boss with Blasphemous Blade and had a lot of fun doing so. The idea of going back and beating them again with a plain weapon doesn't appeal to me.

I seem to find myself chasing more and more challenges. It started a couple years ago I think when I played through the Super Star Wars trilogy on SNES. Brutally difficult game, but maybe a third through the second one, It might take me an hour or more to get to the next password screen and it was so brutally difficult to reach that, that it would release some dopamine whenever it happened. I started to really like the good feeling from accomplishing hard tasks.

From there I not only beat Lion King, I've beaten it deathless on hard in like 30 minutes. I eventually did Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 on European Extreme difficulty, but even more of a challenge is I did them both fully with non-lethal attacks/weapons. Also did Metroid Dread on hard mode with no additional e-tanks requiring most bosses to be defeated hitless.

Last November I beat Alien Isolation on nightmare difficulty. And just today I finished Mass Effect 3 on insanity difficulty for the same save file starting since the first game. Even got the rarest achievement for the trilogy.

Maybe it's just the beginning of the end to the point where I just don't find it satisfying at all anymore?
