The PS1 had a good Quake II port, which is even better with the flexibility of customizing the controls through emulators.
Other responses here are pretty great advice. I just want to add that feeling this way is pretty normal in our modern world.
Our society evolved much faster than our biology. This world isn’t very satisfying with respect to the kinds of things our ancestors had to do I order to survive and be part of a group of other people. Most jobs feel unsatisfying because they are.
For example: it feels good to work a physically hard job in the same way exercise feels good, and yet physical work is often looked down upon as though there is no value in it (which is crap), and people who spend lots of time in a gym don’t face that same stigma about sweating.
It sounds crass, but there is good science behind attachment and neural connections in your brain: have sex with someone new if you want to get over someone else. Your brain will pretty quickly begin to detach from your last partner.
Just also know that (aside from actual sociopaths) almost everyone starts to catch feelings for a new sexual partner after you’ve had sex three times. Obviously don’t let it get that far if you don’t want to get attached to that new partner.
I think this is why so many people look for rebound relationships whether or not they’re aware of the neural connections changing. It feels better to start moving on even if that new relationship is completely superficial.
I only put this to the test one time before I met my wife, but I think it helped me move on from an abusive relationship.
The quality of the test environment isn’t guaranteed though. I ran a production system that had a shell of a “test” environment with no data from prod. I repeatedly told the vendor testing in their “test” environment was worthless because without the prod data I had no real way to recreate so many of the situations that naturally came up for my users in the production software. The vendor refused to correct the problem, so I told them - with all the relevant managers present - to stop asking me to waste my time testing new releases when doing so was effectively useless.
I’d say it’s kinda like having a “10-second” car that everyone loves and wants, but then you start ripping out some of the best performance parts and installing inferior parts in their place.
Does the car still run? It does. Is it slowly imploding because you’ve upset the engine’s balance to the point where it’s becoming dysfunctional? Also yes.
It’s only a matter of time before the pretty paint job no longer hides the garbage under the hood.
I have a friend who tried to get me to join him and his online buddies on every new big multiplayer game. Out of the literally dozens he recommended to me, I bought maybe two, and those two have a great single player campaign.
I’ve always preferred single player games, and I feel like I don’t waste money like I would on whatever the current hot MMO is. MMOs go stale or the community changes, and then you will probably never play it again. Single player games just largely don’t go that way and are repayable.
