For me it's probably "Golden Sun" from GBA (and "Golden Sun 2"). I played them at the time on the original GBA at least 3 times each, and on emulators in phones & tablets a few more. I liked the story, the graphics, the combat system, the endless possibilities you could do, the discoverability, hidden corners, the different regions, the global map... If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it, it's full of nice things.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Rimworld. It's not a game for me at this point, it's a drug that I have to take from time to time, and it takes all of your free time like a good drug would.
There are others with that effect for me, like modded Minecraft, or Factorio, or Satisfactory, or Hitman, or Skyrim, but nothing is that severe.
I've read the whole thread and nobody has said Spintires/Mudrunner/Snowrunner ... it's basically the same game, it just keeps evolving and it's impossible to really complete because by the time you do there's more levels released.
For me, driving big trucks through mud is repeatedly appealing.
I'm kinda the same way with American Truck Simulator. Its a great background game so I play it once every two weeks at least
Into The Breaxh, Sekiro, Psychonaut 1&2.
They are so satisfying and not too long. Factorio is a bit too demanding.
Minecraft (modded and unmodded)
Creeper world games
Mindustry
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
GTA IV, I don't even like it that much, yet keep going back to it.
Some things are just appealing bc of how familiar they are. I enjoy the Polar Express movie, but it's not my favorite, yet I've watched it more than any other movie lol
Crusader Kings. I keep coming back to it when I'm between other games and I don't see that ever changing
I just started Witcher 3. It's great and has very good low graphics mode.
- Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition are both games I've played though and loved multiple times over
- Skyrim lol but it's infrequent for me now
- Civ (I've only played 6)
Bioshock, Dishonored, Watch Dogs, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
Virginia and What Remains of Edith Finch are two of my favourite narrative experiences. I've played through both of them a few times and I'm always eager to go back.
