This is actually part of the problem. And you are being optimistic with 'in a week'.

Games are clearly released before they are ready.

The people who play games in the first 4 to 6 weeks get a sub-optimal experience.

The obvious solution is to wait two months before buying a new game, which its what I do, but I miss the communal experience of a whole bunch of people discovering a new game at the same time.

Plus the more logical solution is releasing games when they are ready.

really depends on what kind of exploration you like.

if you like abit of story those might be for you:

zelda, especially breath of the are games I can get lost in for days, in a very good way.

assassins creed games have a lot aswell and it's mostly quite nice to look at.

skyrim and other elder scrolls games are a good choice aswell, if you'd do all the content you'll be good for weeks.

witcher 3 has a lot to do aswell and has many choices so playthroughts stay interesting.

read dead redepmtion 2 - lots of story and lots of realisticish gameplay and such.

​

if you just want to explore maybe try those:

terraria - it's more then 2D minecraft and I enjoy it a lot more.

valheim - it's all about crafting and exploring

staker anomaly - it's stalker but 100% open world, nothing will ever top that atmosphere.

star citizien - pretty much like elite:dangerous but it needs a nasa computer to run.

We've all been there. Then, suddenly, someone or something gives you an idea on what to try and it just clicks.

If you are looking for a game to make friends in, single player games probably aren't it and co-op games might be more up your alley. Try to find something that has an active community, as that makes it much easier to find people. Games that get updated regularly are always a good bet. Or maybe jump on the hype train of something new that releases.

Maybe Csgo 2 might be your chance. Or whenever GTA 6 comes out.

I personally really enjoy Destiny 2 and it very much suits that 'puzzle, combat, platforming, online co-op game to make friends in' niche you're looking for and it gets updated very frequently with a highly active community. Maybe give that a try if you haven't already.

Then again, it's absolutely okay to take a break. If you're not feeling it at the moment, don't force yourself into it.

Yeah, we all saw that graphics are basically the same, gameplay is basically the same and mechanics are probably gonna be the same with mild additions.

Like Zelda games always presented huge developments compared to the previous ones. They've always been average games that captured us with lore, characters, setting and nostalgia. Maybe they were innovative some 1 or 2 decades ago, now it's just gonna be your umpteenth 3rd person action rpg but this time the protagonist is Link.
