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).

️ 🫡Quake (any), Dyson Sphere Program, Path of Exile. Those are the big three, many others had smaller but intense addiction phases.

Minecraft, holy shit, I have a singleplayer, creative world that I spent hours every day building on for 8 years or so.
That map is gigantic, and I even saved it from a hard disk crash
Then, if you ever get bored of regular minecraft, the mods come in.

Dungeon Master on the Amiga 500 was probably the first, followed by the SSI silver-box Krynn series. Moving over to IBM-compatibles, Sim City ate a ton of my time. SC2k, various AD&D games, and eventually FPS games (especially Team-Fortress-Likes) came to eat up wayyyy too much of my time. My first MMO was FFXI and it ate about every waking moment I was not otherwise occupied. At work, I was looking up gear locations, mobs spawns, etc. and talking on forums. I would later go on to work in the MMO space and played a lot of them for work. Rift: Planes of Telara from alpha until the (first?) major revamp was the last game to really do that to me. Ever since, I will get briefly addicated to games, but nothing lasts... and that's probably good with everything else I have going on. I do get super into Skyrim once ever couple years, though, and put an unhealthy amount of time into it.
Have you played Factorio? Based on what games you posted, I think you'd like it.
I'm at like 650 hours and it still feels fresh, challenging, allows for creative and logical thinking

️ 🫡Barotrauma, I checked it out on a free to play weekend a few months back and have been hooked since
Lots of tinkering and the modding community is extensive, best played with friends but the single player is good too

I played Factorio first and since my friends are "done with Factorio" (not sure what's wrong with them but I think I need new friends) I agreed to play satisfactory with them. It was fun for a couple of hours then it just started tobuild up rage inside of me because of so many strange or stupid design decisions the devs made.
When we got to trains and I started building that was when I hit my rage limit and boiled over. My god those stations are huge and the unloading was the most stupid shit ever. Then all the small finicky tricks you can do to slim your builds... And this you want to learn/do since blueprints are small. Don't get me started...
Never started the game again after we were done but have a couple of hundred more hours in Factorio since then -
850 hours on Skyrim and counting.

️ 🫡Modded Factorio. I did 450 hours of pyAnodon's recently and it just broke me. I didn't win the game. I feel like I lost at it and life.
It seems impossible to manage the side products properly. Ridiculous amount of materials that are all interrelated means that if you are low on one thing, it is very hard to fix it because you need the thing to work to make anything.
Too many recipes means it is very difficult to make modular, adaptable designs to copy and paste.
Advanced recipes seem better, but they end up just exacerbating the issue even more. -

️ 🫡GW2. When i first started playing it many moons ago, I couldn't stop playing it! It was so addicting.

No doubt, it's a fun game, but not $30 fun.
Then again, my idea of game prices is a bit skewed. I don't think ANY game is worth $60. I buy all my games on sale, and for most of them, I wait until they're $20 or less before I buy.
At a full price of $30, I'd expect to eventually find it on sale for $5-10 if I waited long enough. But the developers don't plan to ever lower the price, which is a big negative for me. If I didn't get a copy for free, I'd probably still not own it.
As far as gameplay itself, I'm annoyed at the random swarms of bugs attacking my factories. I just want to build and create, but having to also defend from attack and then repair my stuff afterward... that makes Factorio frustrating for me. But that's my own personal opinion, I know that's what makes the game fun for so many others.
That's why I like Satisfactory so much. The wildlife is only aggressive if you bother them, and there aren't packs of them roaming around. You can relax and enjoy the atmosphere and get lost in your build process without being bothered.
You can play without biters. Just pick the option before you start the map. Or pick friendly mode to have them there but they never bother you until you attack them is also an option. A lot of settings before you start a new game, check them out

Sadly, Fall Guys. Little did I know when I started playing it when it released for free on PSN that it would become my most played game of all time. Having 8 of us to make 2 complete teams with every night was a lot of fun. It was just an easy game to play, but not think while playing and just talk with friends for an hour or 2 a night. Some of the funniest conversations I've ever had was during this game. This month marks 5 years of playing this on average 5 times a week. Sadly this year we all finally drifted and I barely played the last few months but maybe once or twice a week and with 1 or 2 others on a good night. 5 years is crazy long for me, so I will be shocked if we find anything else that grabs us like this ever again, but im hoping.
Having friends can make any game so much more addicting.

Dwarf Fortress. I think I have ten thousand hours in the classic game.

This was a game I was truly addicted. Uninstalled it many times recognising it as an addiction but kept coming back to it. I feel lucky that I could break out of it. It was THAT addictive. Around 1200-1300hrs on that game.

I don't know what it is, but it's like crack. I cannot stop playing it. -
Factorio. I blinked and a month went by the first time I played it. It ruins my sleep schedule like no other.
Absolutely love it
