I’ve found that sometimes I come back to a game after a long break and end up better at it than I previously was. Like I’ll dread parts that were difficult the last time and then breeze through them when I get there.
Like I was stuck on some room in Doom Eternal, it just kept kicking my ass until I gave up on the game for like a year. I tried resuming the game, realized I couldn’t remember all the controls and decided to start over again and then didn’t even notice when I got back to that room because I cleared it easily and continued on.
I’m not sure if it’s because the other games I’d played in the meantme helped me develop my skills more, if my subconscious optimized the skills I retained from the first playthrough, or if I just avoided picking up some bad habits I had the first time that made things harder for me.
I think at a certain point, a break from the game is warranted before going back in to grind and be specced correctly for a difficult area/boss
