According to a new study into the post-game depression, it is the "sense of emptiness that arises after completing a deeply immersive game," resulting in a sense of "loss, emptiness, or sadness." https://t.co/oiZUjHXyzM

It’s happened to me with books, movies, TV shows, comic books, and video games. That’s what art does. People who think a summary of a book or a 30 minute YouTube summary of a movie is enough to “get it” have completely lost the plot of what it means to be human.

Absolutely. It can actually go both ways though. Many times I've felt really sad the story is over, but many times I've felt very satisfied and am glad the story is over just from the sense of accomplishment.

I've had the opposite happen. Some games have been long to the point to where I'm glad that it's finished. Had that happen with Assassins Creed Odyssey. I loved that game, but it felt overstuffed at points.
