Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

[nebula@fedia.io]

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.

Edit 2: It has become too much for me and I have to disable notifications. Thank you for the massive response and please continue to discuss with everyone here. ️ 🫡

Football Manager. A damn spreadsheet game

[middlemansi@lemmy.world]

There's many, even from your list. Recently Deadzone: Rogue.

[nebula@fedia.io]

Never heard of it, might have to check it out when I'm home at my PC again.

[z3ror0ne@lemmy.ml]

Many in the past, but the most recent is Project Zomboid. That game would quickly take away decades of my life if I let it.

The worst for me was elder scrolls: oblivion. I played it on xbox back when it came out. I played nothing else for about 18 months. I must have had thousands of hours by the time it got old.

Minesweeper. I've had a period where I played it 3 hours a day. Eventually forced myself to delete it from my phone.

[pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Monster hunter world, by a long way

[nebula@fedia.io]

I never got used to the slow combat, unfortunately, but that's on me.

[lime@feddit.nu]

historically: gmod. recently: oxygen not included.

[nebula@fedia.io]

Oh shit, how could I forget gmod. Those were good times.

[object@sh.itjust.works]

Battle pass shit aside, I really like Apex Legends. Probably has some dark patterns but still I really like their gunfights.

[sol@feddit.uk]

Morrowind for me.

[frank@sopuli.xyz]

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

[makingstuffforfun@lemmy.ml]

Civ, and Rimworld.
"One more turn" crack in a bottle.

[antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Spent years on that one.

[blueether@no.lastname.nz]

Neverwinter Nights and Planeshift are the two that come to mind

[474d@lemmy.world]

Warframe. I have been clean for years now, but the itch never really goes away

[risingswell@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

The most severe was Warframe. Not the most hours, but the most hours in the shortest time. 200 hours in 2 weeks. No I didn't do anything else.

Other than that, Runescape, Minecraft, Baldur's gate 3 all have just deleted days. Runescape and Minecraft have deleted months if not a year of time.

[a_union_of_kobolds@lemmy.world]

The movement and gunplay is really fun. I dip in and out every so often.
