Has anyone else had the experience of going back to a game you haven’t played in a long time and some lower level part of your brain just remembers all the controls? Like when you try and remember which key does what, you can’t, but then you start playing and your brain just does the thing.
Yes, absolutely. My dad recently purchased the same model of electric guitar he had as a teenager and he felt the same way about it.
I’ll go back to a game and load up a character with all my endgame gear and then die.
Or . . . you load that old save game and think, “oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this.”

Joke’s on you, I was never good in the first place
I picked Elden Ring back up today (why no, it has nothing to do with the DLC). I’m still garbage.
Souls-likes are pretty much the antithesis of what I personally enjoy in games. They seem stressful as fuck and my capacity for handling more stress is currently somewhere near zero
They don’t have to be, I feel like their reputation might be what stresses newcomers to the genre more than the game itself.
