Has getting older affected your skills in video games?

[Kane99]

I'm 35 years old and still enjoy gaming like I did growing up, but I find I don't have the skills I used to from back in the day. Do you think it could be a mix of getting older and my skills starting to degrade over time? As gamers yourself, do you feel getting older has affected your skills in games? Or, do you feel like your skills haven't changed, or even got better over the years?

It’s totally normal to feel a shift in gaming skills as we age! Many gamers experience that. However, with experience and strategic thinking, you might find new strengths. Embrace your gaming style age can bring wisdom and a fresh perspective!

I wouldn't consider myself old to be affected in playing video games like I used to. The only thing which have been affected is my gaming time. It's no longer enough.

This is exactly the same predicament I found myself in when it comes to playing video games now. I work too much to have more time to play video games like I used to. It's only on weekends I have time to play video games like I wanted.

Surprisingly, age has improved certain aspects of my gaming. While my reflexes have slowed marginally, my problem-solving abilities and pattern recognition have strengthened. Complex strategy games and intricate RPGs that overwhelmed me in my twenties now feel more manageable because I approach them more methodically and with greater patience.
