Games where the purpose is to optimize productivity, efficiency, and achieving accomplishments improve effectiveness. Or complex/realistic simulation games. So games like SimCity, Tropico, Kerbal Space Program, and MS Flight Simulator 2020.
It's just too rewardingggg ๐ซจ
High speed first person shooters like Titanfall 2 or the finals; the complete opposite, meticulous, and slow shooters like Rainbow 6: Siege
I got absolutely consumed by Dead cells. I put more hours into it in a few months than I did a game I've been playing with a friend for 5 years at the time. There's another game in the same Genre that I can't rember the name of, but the high skill, PVE games like those if they catch my eye, oof, I go HARD.
I can barely put down Ace Attorney style games. I love experiences where I get to unravel a mystery.
It's also really easy to spend a long time grinding in old school Maple. Just monotonous enough to be soothing, just active enough to keep my attention on it.
Anything that gives me an adrenaline rush. Which usually only happens against real human players, but the first time through a good difficult game like a souls like works too.
Basebuilders, 4Xs, Incrementals, and Survival Crafters
Once I burn out I try to stay away as long as possible for the sake of getting other things done and having a sane sleep schedule.
Compare with RPGs, farm sims, platformers, action adventure games, and roguelikes, which I can pick up and put down much more easily without disrupting other aspects of my life.
Rhythm games. Diablo clones. ATS, ETS, and BeamNG.drive.
Personal fave Diablo clone?
Last Epoch. It's new and very fun.
Rogue-likes, especially if each run is long. Man, the number of times I booted up One Way Heroics for "just a quick run" and realize hours later that I should've gone to bed long ago.
Rimworld, Against the Storm, Dwarf Fortress, and other similar games.
Any game where there is no clear end and continuous engagement and problems to solve is dangerous for me.
4X games, specifically any of the Civilization games Iโve played (everything but SMAC & Civ: Beyond Earth).
MMORPG, specifically Elder Scrolls Online.
Really big and complex games like Rimworld and the Paradox or Hooded Horse games can really suck me in.
Splatoon
Menu Simulators like Warframe and Path of Exile
Samurai Gunn
