    For me it was Terraria, Satisfactory, Tetris Effect Master Mode, Minecraft with Mekanism mod & CSGO / CS2 (almost 2000 hours in CS alone).

    Unfortunately Fortnite. The Jak series. I guess that's it. I'll edit if I think of more.

      First it was Call of Duty in the mid 2000's. Then it was WoW. It all culminated in EVE Online. Untold hours spent in those games.

      I have zero game addictions now. It just doesn't hit like it used to.

      I'm more into stuff like Dwarf Fortress, Cogmind, and Caves of Qud now.

        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.

            I bet I have thousands (thinking 5000+) hours on the original counterstrike. Steam says I have like 12.6 hours. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

                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 bought No Man's Sky about a year ago. There's something comforting in the repeated tasks and exploring. I spend entire days just running around accomplishing nothing.

                    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'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)

                        Factorio. At my worst, I was seeing conveyor belt patterns in my sleep.

                          I can't enjoy Factorio... It just feels like I'm at work. I don't even think I've finished the tutorial levels yet.

                            Well I'm old and don't really game anymore, but for me it was the original Halflife. The story sucked me in, not to mention the fact that I was running it on my brand new PC, which I believe was one of the first Pentium IIIs, so I could run it at the max resolution and the graphics were amazing!. I think it was 1024x768, on a huge 17" CRT monitor!

                                          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)
