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. ๐Ÿ™‚

well said! I should check out Enshrouded. I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol. and then immediately got lost in two other gangs, now doing a fourth Stardew Valley playthru

also fyi there's no hyperfocus type of ADHD; that's just a broad effect of executive dysfunction

    I just bought Factorio after finally learning it never goes on sale, lol.

    I always try to buy games on sale, so I've been avoiding Factorio on principle. Their developers refuse to lower the price because they feel there no point in setting a price for a game, then discounting it every once in a while to draw in new players. They believe it's a $30 game, so they want everyone to pay $30 to play it, period.

    Fortunately, I won a Steam key for it in a raffle, so I got it for free. And I'm glad, because I don't feel it's worth even $30. It's not a bad game, but I personally would've paid $10-15 max for it.

    fyi there's no hyperfocus type of ADHD; that's just a broad effect of executive dysfunction

    True, but explaining the nuances of ADHD in a thread that's not specifically focused on it is complicated. Especially since we're still trying to define the vague differences between ADHD, autism, ADD, and a few other cognitive disorders. Some things are merging under umbrella terms (e.g. ADD doesn't really exist anymore; it's now a form of ADHD) and other distinctions are getting blurry, with too many cross-over symptoms to clearly define. Much easier to just point out that one of my greater symptoms of ADHD is hyperfocus.

    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 :)
