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).

️ 🫡Splintercell. All. Of. Them.

I kept getting just LASERED then I realized people playing with controllers get aimbot at medium or close range, and I’m using a keyboard and mouse like a pleb.

I've been playing and DMing D&D sessions on Neverwinter Nights for two decades.
The only other game that got me for an extended period of time was Dead by Daylight. (Around 1500 hours)

How does that go

?Oh, it's a blast.
I'm on a custom-built persistent world with a few staff members who build and script. Players just log in with their characters like a mini MMO and when I'm logged in as a DM, they can't see me, but there's a menu where I can make placeables, monsters, items, or visual effects appear, and I can 'possess' creatures and NPC's and make them talk. It's really very cool.

For me, this only happens in story-based games. The most recent was Expedition 33. It’s also the first time a videogame has ever made me cry. What an incredible ride that was.
I love Expedition 33 so much!

So many. To list some that aren't in the top comments:
Foxhole - This one gets to a point where it becomes an obligation. It feels like work that I'm not getting paid for. And still I'll easily get sucked into defending a town or advancing a front for days on end between periods of burnout, checking statuses at work and staying up way past my bedtime, decimating my sleep schedule and productivity in the process.
Don't Starve Together - My partner and I took a week off and were supposed to go camping but we ended up playing this too late the night before we were supposed to leave. We woke up really early to pack the car and it took about five minutes for us to go, "nope, this ain't happening". So instead we spent the entire week locked in our apartment playing DST from the moment we woke up to the early hours of the morning and living off of our camping provisions.
League of Legends - I played a lot of LoL back in its early days. My dorm had awful internet so when I came home for the summer it was pretty much all I would do all day every day. It brought out a bad side of me. Losing felt awful and winning was never satisfying enough. I've been clean from LoL for over 10 years now. Sometimes I still think about downloading it but I've so far kept the strength.
I love that DST story, very cool!

For the entirety of high school I only played Team Fortress 2, League of Legends, and Melee. I have 2000+ hrs in TF2 and probably more in the other two. Then in college I was on the Overwatch team and played in the college league, I have a bit under 5000 hrs in that.
No games I have come close to that kinda play time and none probably will since I have less time to game and I’ve kinda been losing interest in gaming in general.
Community server TF2 was the absolute peak of game-playing in my life. I was laid off from a job in the late ‘00s and just played on a server with a bunch of people I loved for 40+ hours a week. I found a shady key guy I would send money to and he’d give me keys for a buck a pop. Got an unusual towering pillar that eventually bought me an index, a million years later.
Love that game.

I probably have more hours in Diablo 2 than any other game.
I didn't buy the remaster because I value having a life now.
Diablo 2 and Ragnarok Online are tied as my most played games. I did buy the Diablo 2 remaster and it exceeded my expectations in every way and I lost so many hours into it…

I never got used to the slow combat, unfortunately, but that's on me.
That’s funny, cuz world has crazy fast combat compared to older Monster Hunter games hahaha

️ 🫡Dwarf Fortress. I think I have ten thousand hours in the classic game.
Oxygen Not Included for the same reasons. I really like games where you both design, and are affected by, complex ecosystems

️ 🫡I saw a lot of factory games in other comments but I didn't see my drug of choice : Captain of Industry.
The process chains are really complex and you can't just throw space at a problem. I played for 24 hours straight once without getting up from my chair. -

️ 🫡If we’re talking actual legit addiction, to the point of finding it hard to quit, Skyrim and Pokémon (first four generations). Any other game, no matter how much I love it or how many hours I’ve got, I could put away and not touch for a while. When I first got into Skyrim, I played it nonstop for about 3 or 4 years, hours a day every day. After around 5k hours I finally had a hard drive failure which corrupted a save file and I finally took that as a sign to stop playing. I actually stopped playing video games entirely for a while to make sure I didn’t go back to it. About a year ago I figured I’d reinstall it and play again for a bit, immediately sank 50 hours in and uninstalled it before I fell into that rabbit hole again.
Pokemon is similar, though not as bad. But any time I revisit a Pokemon game I have to go through all the games in the first four gens, get super into it with dozens of tabs on individual Pokemon and stats and such, and then I have to stop myself, otherwise I’d probably do the same thing as Skyrim. As a kid growing up I was properly addicted to that series, and as an adult it still hasn’t gone away.
There’s lots of other games I’ve had tons and tons of hours into, but I could hang them up and move on. Skyrim especially but Pokemon too are actual addictions for me.
