I often fall into a trap where I try to play through most of the side content before finishing the story, but I’ll burn out on the game while playing the side content leaving the main story unfinished.

I’ve started to do a game rotation where I’ll put down a game when I start to get burnt out on it, and then come back later. But with Elden Ring I’m intimidated about going back because I was stuck in a frustrating part when I stopped, and with Cyberpunk I get suckered into exploring the city and enjoying the vibes of the atmosphere instead of actually progressing anything.
