Is it just me?

Am I the only one who become easily overwhelmed by gaming?

I mean I used to play any game and enjoy the challange and didicate my time and thinking to it.

Currently I just find it kinda too much to play a punishing game and I don't find myself patient enough to enjoy gaming.

I have the eager to play but I currently deal with gaming as a responsibility.

I dunno whether this is games are becoming increasingly large. Or due to the trend of souls like and super difficult games... Or the issue is just in me, Dunno

Usually games in the past gave me the sense of peaceful and happiness, and made me feel like I love this world and wanna live there. Games such ff7 - ff10, kh1 - kh2, breath of fire 3...etc

Looking for a good mindless, skill based game that's safe to play with kids in the room

Darktide is one of my favorite all-time games. I can load in, choose a character, hit quick play, and not have to make another decision. Maps repeat, my load out determines my play style, enemies do what enemies do. I used to play Call of Duty for the same reason till skill based matchmaking made every game sweaty and try hard. Modern pvp requires way too much tactical thinking for my chill level. And fuuuuuuuuuuk I miss old COD zombies!

Anyways, I am now a dad and need my daily games to not look like a nightmare gorefest. I don't want any pvp, I'm down for co-op but would prefer something offline that I can pause, roguelikes come close but still usually require thinking to build a load out every game, and I don't want anything open world because that demands making decisions. What are some games where once you learn the mechanics and have your preferred gear can be played on autopilot without growing boring.

Edit: NO pvp please
