I get the feeling, but from a completely different perspective : I want infinite games, at least most of the time.

I’m usually not looking for a good mechanic or two to repeat over and over again. Either a game has to be a focused story that carries me through, or (and that’s what I prefer) : a sandbox.

A world I can inhabit, where I can combine mechanics, set my own goals, exist within… The best game for this is of course Minecraft, but others do come close for me :

• Project Zomboid
• Zelda BoTW and ToTk
• No Man’s Sky
• The Sims 3

So when a game focuses on developing one mechanic as far as possible… That’s nice, I might play a few hours, but I’m very unlikely to finish the game.
