Stuck in a Gaming Slump

Been stuck in kind of a gaming slump so far this year. I've made a list of games across all my platforms (PC, PS5, and XBOX Series S) I want to try in my backlog and maybe even fully complete this year as well as games I haven't played in a long time and want to replay. So far, I've finished 2 new games: Warhammer: Chaosbane and Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor Martyr, replayed Cyberpunk 2077 for what I think will be my final time as I got the perfect ending for me, and a friend and I played through all the Halo campaigns on the MCC.

Right now I really want to play newer games and clean up my backlog while I wait for new releases to come out and so far I haven't had any luck in really sinking my teeth into a new game. I've given a few games I've never played a shot and nothing's really stuck with me for longer than 2 hours before I just didn't get invested enough to continue with them. Those games were South of Midnight and both Fable 1 and 2. Right now I'm giving the first Pillars of Eternity a try, but so far it doesn't look promising for me to continue.

I hope y'all can give me some advice on how I can get out of this slump without reverting to a game I've already played. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have (like what games I've previously played like BG3, what kind of games I like/dislike, etc). Thank you!
