In that case you probably stopped playing not that long ago, so you should still remember what you played. Plus there's no guarantee you won't be interrupted again for a similar reason.
I'm just here to say that I'm curious about the answers to your question because I dropped FFVII Rebirth at around 80 hours and want to actually finish it sometime.
Depending on the game and how much I remember I either jump back in and read the in game journal/recap or read a quick walkthrough to help me remember everything.
Continue for sure, I'm long past the days where I'd consider restarting haha (even back in the day if some dickhead deleted my super far save on a rental I'd just start from the furthest save point usually). As much as I despise yt, I may watch a review of the story up til the point I dropped it depending on how convoluted the story is.
I have good memory, i wouldn't be able to beat persona 5 in one go, i played it for 80 hours and had to break two times with 2 months or more from apart.
Continue normally. It's interesting how your perception of a game might change after months and having played other games in between. A particular attack or tactic that you never found use for might suddenly click for example. Habits that you had formed might break and allow you to approach the game differently
And that's why I never understood the "game doesn't respect my time" argument, except for reviewers perhaps. Of course you'll get tired after an 80 or so hours in any game, you don't have to keep going until you finish it, just take your break and come back whenever
Depends on the game and the time already invested, but usually restart.
It doesn't always go well - if the game caused fatigue the first time it will cause fatigue again. But if I stopped because of external reasons, I usually find I can restart no problem.
If I stopped deep into a long game, I also just will watch an LP if I feel I can't get back into it properly.
Restarting is a trap. If a game fatigues you once, it is likely to do so again at a similar point if you restart it.
Now if it's been actual years and you genuinely don't remember anything about the plot, then maybe restart
What about in the case of other reasons instead of fatigue? ie work schedule, life emergencies, etc.
Honestly, I still wouldn't restart. Certainly not for time spans measured in months instead of years.

Exactly this. You quit the game for a reason, probably a slow part that's going to be even more of a slog the second time around.
Just youtube or wiki the story if you're that lost.

Good ol' reliable, restarting and never finishing it, that's my method.
Usually continue. I hate replaying single player games. Only 2 games ever managed to make me do that. Those were cyberpunk 2077 and armoured core 6
I restart my playthrough
Continue normally.
Sometimes i do rarely restart. But i mostly just continue
It depends on how far along in the story I was when I stopped playing. If I had passed the halfway point, then no.

if i stop playing something before i beat it i rarely ever go back to it even if i want to
I just dont tbh lol
I'll usually read like a plot summary or watch a highlights compilation to refresh my memory then jump back in
Continue, if I'm lost then read a recap/review/walkthrough or skim through gameplay footage

I usually restart it, and then I finish it a decade later when I finally have the attention span to more or less binge the entire game.

If the game has multiple routes and choices then I restart but if it's linear I just pick up where I left off.

I do it all the time. Especially with rpgs.
I have restartitis.
