3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

What games are you nostalgic towards but wouldn't go back and play? (leminal.space)

The first game that comes to mind for me is Civilizations 4. I've probably spent hundreds of hours playing but after getting used to 5 and 6 I have a really hard time going back. Going back and forth between 5 and 6 I need to rethink some strategies but with 4 I feel like I need to rethink everything. I don't know if it's because of the tech tree layout in combination with the civics system, things like unit stacking, or maybe just a bunch of little things but it takes me a while to readjust.

Witcher 3. I don't enjoy "dark" "gritty" stuff the way that I used to. I'm way more effected by some of the more explicit themes than I used to be. When I played it it was my only solace in a rough period of my life. I'd rather protect my fond memories than play it again, as I doubt it will mean as much to me now as then.
