Games like that very quickly become "go here scan that defend X so you can make your gear numbers go up"

I admit I no-lifed Destiny 1 and The Division 1 when they first came out, but nowadays I only play those kind sif games if they're free to me, and usually not for very long.

There was a time when "number go up" would give me that dopamine hit my brain desperately craves, but not anymore.

I did finish TD2 eventually but more because I felt an obligation to finish what I started, than it being a good game...
