Hello, I have been experiencing this strange feeling of getting anxious when starting to play an entirely new video game. There’s a certain game series that I’ve been trying to get into, and I’ve already played two. I still have a couple to play though.

But for some reason, whenever I start a new game in general, I get this terrified feeling for some reason. It’s so powerful that it makes me just want to not even start it. When I’m getting this feeling I’m playing more story-based games, but it can happen to any of them.

I’m a writer who has had their storyline taken away from another video game that was basically the exact same of mine, which got popular. I stumbled upon it one day and it basically broke me, so I think that’s why I’m so scared to even look through the game store or even start a new game.

Does anyone maybe have any advice to calm down this bad case of anxiety I have? I really want to start a new game in the series, but i’m too scared to even start it.
