After experiencing burnout in 2024, a passionate gamer has decided to make a significant change in their gaming approach for the upcoming year. The resolution for 2025 is to step away from the completionist mindset that has driven their gaming habits for so long. This shift comes after a year filled with the pressure to achieve 100% completion in various titles, leading to stress and dissatisfaction rather than enjoyment.
Completionism often involves spending countless hours seeking every collectible, completing every quest, and unlocking every achievement. While this dedication can be rewarding, it can also lead to fatigue and a sense of obligation rather than fun. The decision to abandon this habit reflects a desire to prioritize enjoyment over perfection.
In 2025, the focus will shift toward exploring games at a more leisurely pace, embracing the narrative and gameplay experiences without the pressure to check off every box. This new approach aims to rekindle the joy of gaming, allowing for a more relaxed and fulfilling experience.
