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.

️ 🫡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.
Oxygen Not Included for the same reasons. I really like games where you both design, and are affected by, complex ecosystems
Have you played RimWorld

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.

️ 🫡Old School RuneScape.
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
Your iron plate production is looking a little lackluster there, bud
Have you tried invading and exploiting the resources of multiple planets to keep up your green chip addiction?

Are those sessions open ? I would very much like to try that !
wrote last edited by [email protected]They are indeed. (
Here's the discord server for the game world where we play: https://discord.gg/ms37NPu8 (But there are around 50-100 of varying sizes and activity out there, so lots of variety and play styles to suit different players.)
DM sessions are in the 'Events' tab, but usually take place on Wednesdays or Fridays.

️ 🫡Pretty much everything I’ve ever played. Going all-in on a new hobby for periods of time (before cycling to another interest weeks later) is just how my brain works.
But right now? I’m very into playing Surviving Mars. Something about escaping from Earth and creating a new society on another planet just feels so appealing right now, for some reason. Nervously glances at news headlines

Added to the wishlist
No joke, if you buy it, I will tutor you and give you all the tips. It can be hard to get into because of the learning curve, but it pays off imo.

️ 🫡My most played Steam game is hilariously Tametsi. It's a Minesweeper spin-off with different layouts and shapes and zero guessing required for its ~200 puzzles. Some of the later puzzles require some absolutely bonkers chains of logic to figure out. It helps there's a fantastic YouTube series of videos by innocentive going through puzzle solutions that are some of the most relaxing and entertaining things I've ever watched. He almost always points to the next thing you need to consider first, so you can just pause a video after he mentions where the next step is and follow the logic yourself rather than spending hours hunting for it.

on rs3 i played a ton during the pandemic, until it became too expensive (in game currency, and as a principle for the bonds) so i just stuck with doing dailies now. I do stick around longer for EVENTS/holidays.
RS3 is really filled with way too much p2w, that's why I stick to osrs. There's still bonds of course, and I wouldn't recommend trying to pay for membership through them, but it's a lot better concerning in game currency than RS3.

Have you tried the recent trilogy since 2016? Now rolled into one as "World of Assassination".
No. I haven't gamed in years. I don't think my elderly computer is powerful enough for it. But I will check it out.
