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. ❤️ 🫡
For a while it was Elite Dangerous. Reached triple Elite, then eventually Odyssey drops and I stopped playing. After Elite was Baldurs Gate 3. Bg3 was the fastest 1000+ hours I’ve ever dropped in a video game
Tetris Effect Master Mode
Have you tried Tetris The Grand Master 4? Came out a just a few months ago.
I’m sorry/you’re welcome.
Timberborn is my drug of choice right now. But every few months I have a No Man’s Sky relapse.
None of them.
I used to play Tetris on my OG monochrome Gameboy obsessively. I would go through stages where I’d put a fresh set of batteries in and play until they went flat in one go. The only limiting factor on my game time was the availability of AA batteries in the vicinity. It got to the point where I’d be dreaming about playing it, and when putting things away I’d stack things Tetris style and get angry when things wouldn’t fit together cleanly.
Then one day I just stopped and never felt the urge again. Thank goodness.
This is most likely what happened to you:
Minesweeper. I’ve had a period where I played it 3 hours a day. Eventually forced myself to delete it from my phone.
Team Fortress 2 and Splatoon
I have probably over 3k hours on Splatoon. I can’t stop. I’m S+8 fwiw
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.
You gotta check out elite dangerous then.
Elite in VR is a singular, unparalleled gaming experience. I can run minerals in a Type 6 back and forth like bus driving is my job.
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.
