I haven't played Nioh 2 in a while, and I'm scared to go back
I reckon it's a bit like "place lag"
I played brutal action-RPG Nioh 2 religiously for weeks. If I had a controller in my hand, more often than not, I'd be fighting a horrid demon for the umpteenth time. Then I just stopped for no real reason - other than maybe because other games came out and I wanted a break? I don't know.

Endzone: A World Apart is a post-apocalyptic citybuilder out, uh, last month
Because there's still too many games
I feel as if I have had enough of post-apocalyptic games, and to a lesser extent, of traditional citybuilders. But a combination of the two? That's a compelling prospect.
