What games will help me heal from gamer burnout?

Dear Mother,
What gaming recommendations do you have for someone who has gaming burnout? I used to game at least once a month and finish around 10 games a year, but these days, I can hardly play 20 minutes without wanting to put my controller down.
I get that gaming, like any other activity, carries the risk of burnout. But I always return to reading after a reading slump. I can find inspiration to make a zine after a two-month hiatus. Sometimes, I feel as if I've simply outgrown gaming as a hobby ... And that's OK! Your answer will help someone else who just needs a real good game to suck them back in.
Thank you!
