Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?
-
For me it was Terraria, Satisfactory, Tetris Effect Master Mode, Minecraft with Mekanism mod & CSGO / CS2 (almost 2000 hours in CS alone).
Edit: There are so many answers that I might only reply if I have something interesting to say. I will read all of your answers though.

Minecraft and Factorio.
Both mixed in a little IRL depression and I was living vicariously through Steve or making factories.
I hope you are doing better now.
Wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende

Thank you. I am doing much better but I feel I am always teetering on the edge of being ok and being meh.
Gotta take the wins where you can and try and have fun.

️ 🫡AuDHD means every game is part of an addiction phase. I will binge a game for like 100hrs then drop it out of nowhere. Then return right where I left off anywhere between 6 months and 4 years later.

Make sure to talk to people you trust when you are feeling down. I made the mistake of "not wanting to burden anyone" and I just got worse and worse.
Edit: I am fine now btw.

Very true and I am glad you’re ok too.
You’re right though as I do the same and just wallow and then you just go lower and lower.
Like I don’t feel like I’m living for a purpose and more I’m occupying time until the end and keeping myself busy. Maybe that’s just life though.

Interesting. I have been diagnosed with ADHD since childhood and besides rare Hyperfocus, this doesn't happen for me. But everyone is different, of course.

️ 🫡For a while it was Elite Dangerous. Reached triple Elite, then eventually Odyssey drops and I stopped playing. After Elite was Baldurs Gate 3. Bg3 was the fastest 1000+ hours I’ve ever dropped in a video game

️ 🫡I have never left the Terraria addiction. Mods have made that significantly worse haha.

I considered playing calamity, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

I considered playing calamity, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
In playing around with the idea too. I can beat the vanilla game in my sleep, and I enjoy Thorium's extra content, but from what I understand, Calamity ups the difficulty several notches, so I'm a bit hesitant.

My friend was the same way, largely due Factorio being in 2D. He was able to get into Satisfactory due to it's 3D nature.
Oh I don't care about the graphics at all, as long as I know what I'm looking at. I should try again.

That sucks. Honestly I never played it, but my friends did back in the day where pretty much everyone did. I was mostly playing Valve games then.
It's blowing up again now, over 200,000 concurrent players without an event. OSRS hits it's platinum era because gold was a long time ago

️ 🫡I was supposed to be working on a project the day terraria released on Steam. I ended up playing it for like 9 hours straight

️ 🫡wrote last edited by [email protected]So many, it's generally how it goes for me as I mostly play one game at a time. But some that have REALLY made me dive deep and play many hours a day for long times: Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach, Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Satisfactory, Forza Horizon 4 and 5, Rocket League. There are many more, these are just what I thought of at the moment.
And the one I still play a ton and see no end in sight is Warframe, such a good game, and both the community and the devs are awesome so even after getting 1,200 hours in two years I'm still giddy about it and have so much fun. -
The hard part is the skill gap - it's not like the pros are a little better than you and you can maybe eke out win. They absolutely dominate you.
I describe them as gusts of wind because they blow in so fast and aggressively we're dead before we can react
If Apex could stop that experience from happening I'd honestly still play it

️ 🫡1200h in PZ and 1000h in Rimworld. This was across many years, but still, I have a job and a family, so I feel like that's a huge chunk of time.
