Many of us look to games as a quick description. From
RPGs to shooters, these are things that we play for an hour or two as nice distractions.
Some games, though, require a much deeper commitment to master. And whether you consider these recommendations or warnings, here are the
video games that will definitely consume your entire life!
1
Witcher: Wild Hunt and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. u/JadeNicholson
2
All three Dark Souls games consumed my life. Bloodborne and Sekiro as well. It wasn't just about playing them either. Learning the lore, watching other people play. Hopefully, Elden Ring has the same effect. - u/LetsMakeGlamourShits
3
Factorio This is not a joke. It's a warning. Seriously. - u/Earthguy69
5
Yakuza. Especially Yakuza 0. - u/SubatomoHorse
6
Pokemon Blue. I was so obsessed, whenever I was in a situation where I couldn't play video games, I was reading one of the three strategy guides I owned for it. - u/Cuesport77
7
Minecraft on its own is a timesink. Minecraft with a good modpack is a death sentence. - u/cheesycoke
8
Stardew Valley -, u/Middlerun
9
Mass Effect trilogy, and still playing it. - u/loading__99
10
Vanilla WoW. I think I’d put in 18 hours a day minimum. Glad to not be there anymore. u/BatmansQueefBreath
11
Bioshock. Many hours playing long into the night and getting completely creeped out. u/FunEconomy6147
12
Terraria. Currently at 2000+hours throughout the experience, but my first world alone was easily over 100. u/Tanango
13
I must have completed Metal Gear Solid 2 ten times easily. Going for dog tags, or just playing around with each little sand-box level. There was just so much to discover. Same with MGS 3 u/mfarmer1982
14
I was alive when Civilization I came out. That is all. u/lessmiserables
15
Simpsons Hit and Run. I started playing and didn’t realize 7 hours pass by. u/odagled86
16
Sims, the game you play for 15 hours a day for a week, then don't touch it for years. u/b_rouse
17
Runescape u/TastyBirdmeat
18
Halo 2. Too many hours in the mid 2000s mastering skulls and Easter eggs. u/Puzzleheaded-Pin3460
19
MORROWIND!!! (Original had 800+ hrs on the counter) my first first-person RPG. u/asbestospajamas
20
Mario 64. Nothing remotely like it until that point. u/Crazy_Animal_4213
21
Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time. My dad bought it as my Christmas present, I was 13 years old, and started playing at 12am, and give it a break at 7am of next day. u/Javorrock
