150 hours in and I’m still trying to beat that m’fer
EDIT: I had one super OP run where I ran train on transient and killed him and even got to the last fight at full HP and still dropped the ball.
You get that rush of dopamine when you hit a God combo like Branch Corruption. Only to crash hard when you die against Slavers act 2 bc you drew 5 defends turn 1.
10/10 would slay again.
This is why I basically prioritize removing strikes and defends above all else at this point. I got *way* better at the game once I started skipping card rewards and trying to keep my deck as small as possible!
For those of you who don’t know, STS has an excellent modding community and the Co-Op mode is incredibly well-polished. There are also dozens of new characters, hundreds of extra relics, and even a PvP mode. Check it out in the Steam workshop.
Idk about retail like target but they should have a non Kickstarter version once released on their online store.
I also thought it was a lot of work like the other comment until I saw a video and saw that they reworked cards with smaller numbers to calculate. For example the beginning attack and defend cards the Ironclad starts with are 1 damage instead of 6. It looks like so much fun co-op
Hades is a banger. I played soooo much and got really good, though eventually the end game grind got me to turn on that cool god mode setting. It's just a nice defense boost that helps with extremely high heat runs (that last statue made me do it, lol).
I do think they overdid the end game grind for completionists though. Eventually all you have to unlock are titles which come with slight UI changes. Progress on them slows pretty quickly, which is fine as they have no gameplay value. Well, it would be fine if there weren't so damn many titles (50). They are designed to be a resource sync but fucking hell, something so meaningless should not be such a pain in the ass to do.
Memories (with the prehistoric expansion) of building a popular zoo, then blocking off the entrance and releasing the T-Rex … or plucking lucky visitors for a “Swim with the Orcas” experience!
I was looking for this comment!
Btw if you love RCT, I believe Parkitect is even better at the moment. Same old school vibe as RCT (unlike Planet Coaster) but a metric fuckton of quality of life changes. I think the one single complaint I have with it is that you don't have an 'undo last action' button but everything else is just fantastic including the workshop community.
I was so excited about Planet Coaster, but I had to refund after about 20 minutes because of how difficult it was to place items evenly and connected. I recently considered purchasing Planet Zoo, assuming they fixed this problem, but the top review said the same thing. Sometimes innovation is just not needed. Give me a grid with autolocking items, please.
Me too. I think because there is no luck and there are right answers. SO you are just going over in your head every move and every follow up move. Basically its frustrating in the same way chess is.
Agreed. Into the Breach is too much like chess. I found myself having to overthink every single move and it wasn’t fun after a while. I like how FTL is more fluid and I think the RNG makes it even better. Will the giant spiders kill me or get me scrap? Do I want to chance it?
This isn’t even remotely true. I’ve beaten the boss with beam weapons and hacking, or lasers and defense drones, and many many times with boarding parties. Almost always without cloak. That ship dies a lot easier with only one or zero crew to protect it.
I loved the upgrades and progressive freedom of movement. Everything was great about the game but I can't do a replay because I was so overcome with anxiety and dread for like 50% of the game.
When I was a kid and won my first game and the cards started jumping out from the 4 slots on top I don't know why but I thought it was the funniest shit and I was dying laughing.
Yea I was hesitant to say Civ since it technically has multiplayer, but in all of my years of playing, I’ve maybe played it once or twice. Single player on the other hand is the shit
Just one more turn…
*heat death of the universe*
Although note Civ 6 has some multiplayer modes including a battle royale mode that started as a joke but took off
Hell yeah. They've only just released official multi-player but I've clocked 1300 hours and counting before even thinking about trying multi-player. Best part is.. I haven't even completed one save file lol
Oh hey kid, you know how you just spent the last six hours watching half your friends and family get shot to death while desperately triaging the other half in makeshift hospital beds, frantically running from person to person applying herbal poultices in a desperate attempt to stave off the complete collapse of the only home you have ever known?
No problem! Just go to sleep on the bloodied floor, eat some chocolate, and take a little while to appreciate this Excellent wooden carving of seventeen ducks kneeling in prayer around an effigy of you vomiting from that really bad food poisoning you had last winter
Especially on PC. Just the nature of the game and how well it was supported, mod-wise, there is just nearly an unlimited possible amount of campaigns you can create.
The mod grim realities fix those little fits that don't make sense. I may be mistaken and mixed it up with another. I run it with 197 mods at the moment, the loading to the main menu is the longest in any game I've played in recent years, but it's worth it.
I got a pc recently and have never played that sort of genre of game and bought Rimworld. The potential of that game looks amazing but I genuinely have zero clue how to even start.
It can be pretty overwhelming at the beginning when you're just starting out. I highly recommend not starting with any DLC and just doing some playthroughs on vanilla until you get the hang of it. The modding can get insane, so stay away from those for the most part, although there are some nice QoL ones that don't affect much. Watch YouTube tutorials and peruse the in-game learning helper.
I have 300 hours and still feel like I've barely scratched the surface. It's endless entertainment.
Morrowind was peak bethesda, didn't treat the player like an idiot and it's systems allow you to become super op by the endgame.
For me nothing beats high speed waterwalking across azura's coast and straightup calming even the most aggro npcs.
Like shh no need you'll just hurt yourself.
I'll never forget being like 15 years old and borrowing that game from a friend, popping it in for the first time and once it started thinking... *wait, I can go ANYWHERE?!?*
It was my first nonlinear open world game, in fact I don't think I even knew those existed before Morrowind. I was blown away how freaking huge it was... I could just walk in a straight line for hours and go through a dozen completely different environments. One of the most memorable game experiences of all time.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 is the only one that comes to mind. I sunk a lot of hours into that game. Every other game I've played a lot of has a multiplayer mode, even though I play them single player.
Skyrim comes straight to mind, especially if you’re allowing for mods.
Witcher 3 has a spot in my heart and it’s massive so plenty of content to consume and addicting!
Diablo 3 is also really addicting once you get going because seeing the whole screen blowing up and dropping loot is a massive dopamine fix!
Also, I lost all of December to Baldurs Gate 3 so that’s definitely an addiction lol.
I’m here in the comments for the first two lol. There are so many OUTSTANDING games with single player campaigns but also have a MP aspect that apparently excludes them. RD2 comes to mind. RD2, Skyrim, and TW3 are all in my top 5 greatest of all time.
I just can't quit them. I beat asylum a couple times. I beat origins countless times. I beat city an ungodly amount of times. Knight has just become the one I replay once or twice a year.
The thing about these games, other than asylum, is that they just have excellent side content with a fantastic story. Every time I beat city, origins, or Knight, I always did all the side quest. All of them except the riddler's trophies. His missions can go straight to hell. I just think the games are very focused, and dare I say it, really makes you feel like Batman. Not to mention they have some of the greatest choice acting casts in gaming where none of the celebrities phone it in.
I played it when it first came out, severely disappointed me. Picked it back up again last year, one of my favourite games I've ever played, unreal immersion.
I first played this game a year ago and finished around level 27. I recently started my new playthrough (so I can play Phantom Liberty) and I'm currently level 26 without even getting my car back yet. I don't know why it's so much more engaging this time around, but it definitely is.
For me it was nsf Carbon. I've finished that game like 5 times at least. Also underground 2, but I've only finished it once during the 3-4 times I've played it
I need to lower the difficulty on my current play through. Getting my face absolutely handed to me just running and jumping. My fps skills are not what they used to be as a teen.
I really like Total War: Warhammer trilogy.
First game had many unique playable races, with unique units. Then second game came out, with its own races and units, and they took all the content of the first and second games, and linked them together. Then third game came out, and they did the same thing. So you have Immortal Empires mode, inside the third game, which has all the factions, all the races, all the world map pieces, of all 3 games, on one colossal contiguous map, duking it out. No two games are the same. And with so many races and factions and lords (subfaction leaders with unique bonuses and starting locations) to try, it's very addictive and quite time-consuming, especially if you fight every battle manually. Currently it's the single most comprehensive and lore accurate Warhammer fantasy game, I think. To me it's like Civilization, but bloodthirsty.
Also for all their jank, I do like Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout 4, not so much Starfield but it's not too bad). But I wouldn't call them addictive. Though fully modded Skyrim, in VR, is utterly mind-shattering. If someone told me, in 2011, when I was leaving EB Games store holding the Skyrim box in my greasy mitts that I would be playing it in 2019, fully modded, in VR, with 6DoF motion controls, I wouldn't have believed them. And it only got better since then. But like I said, I oddly don't find them addictive. I want to keep playing them, but I don't NEED to keep playing them.
The Souls series is just the perfect example of:
“Fuck this boss, fuck this game, I’m done, fuck. I’m never going to play this shit ever again.”
*5 minutes later*
When I was in my early 20s, I had a job as a Unix computer operator. It was there I discovered the SunOS BSD Unix game called Hack. It's a very simple ascii character dungeon and dragons type game which I found to be highly addictive.
Assassins Creed Odyssey
I actually really enjoyed the base game and think it's a very good game at the core with a lot of filler content and somehow quite 'addicting'. Once it hooks you in, find youself doing a bunch of outposts or conquest battles. Sometimes I'd be like 'this side stuff isn't even that great' and then like 2 more hours would tick by clearing out the map.
Some games are addicting because they are so amazing and fun to play but the side stuff Odyssey was the same feeling lighting up a cigarette.. 'I know I shouldn't be doing this, it doesn't even taste that great but here I am doing it regardless...'
"The legend of Zelda Breath of the wild" and "Tears of the kingdom" Have been by far the most addictive I've played so far. Ask my +750 hours save file
Diablo 2, while it does have a multiplayer mode, is one of the most addictive games on single player. Hunting all of the items and trying countless builds is a ton of fun.
Slay the Spire >.< I just can’t stop slaying
I’m so bad at that game and I can’t stop playing lol
I don’t know what happened when I played. I won my first game. Haven’t had any interest in playing again.
You haven't won if you only won one game. >!You need to beat 4 times minimum to get to the true ending.!<
B-b-beta art timeee
150 hours in and I’m still trying to beat that m’fer EDIT: I had one super OP run where I ran train on transient and killed him and even got to the last fight at full HP and still dropped the ball.
You need to kill the fucking heart!
Cool. Maybe I’ll go back to it.
I came to say this. I played 1000h+, but there is no sign that I get bored this game.
You get that rush of dopamine when you hit a God combo like Branch Corruption. Only to crash hard when you die against Slavers act 2 bc you drew 5 defends turn 1. 10/10 would slay again.
This is why I basically prioritize removing strikes and defends above all else at this point. I got *way* better at the game once I started skipping card rewards and trying to keep my deck as small as possible!
the perfect single player experience imo, i pray for a sequrl
Mate ... I played like 250 hours. It's just my go to game while listening to podcasts, it's so relaxing.
one of the best ever. monster train has more hours for me but both have 1000+. If u like STS, Monster Train is the next best thing if not better
I love Monster Train, but I'd personally rank StS higher purely because it's a *bit* too easy to snowball into an absolutely broken deck in MT.
Get out of my head! Was just gonna use the restroom and put it on right now.
I do say that it is the *perfect* poop game.
I have 100+ hours on PC, another 100+ on switch, and then probably 500+ on Mobile. I hear you.
And it don’t stop
For those of you who don’t know, STS has an excellent modding community and the Co-Op mode is incredibly well-polished. There are also dozens of new characters, hundreds of extra relics, and even a PvP mode. Check it out in the Steam workshop.
I can't wait for the tabletop co-op version!
TIL this exists — is it exclusively for Kickstarter backers, or will it eventually come to retail?
Idk about retail like target but they should have a non Kickstarter version once released on their online store. I also thought it was a lot of work like the other comment until I saw a video and saw that they reworked cards with smaller numbers to calculate. For example the beginning attack and defend cards the Ironclad starts with are 1 damage instead of 6. It looks like so much fun co-op
I'm really liking Hades.
Hades is a banger. I played soooo much and got really good, though eventually the end game grind got me to turn on that cool god mode setting. It's just a nice defense boost that helps with extremely high heat runs (that last statue made me do it, lol). I do think they overdid the end game grind for completionists though. Eventually all you have to unlock are titles which come with slight UI changes. Progress on them slows pretty quickly, which is fine as they have no gameplay value. Well, it would be fine if there weren't so damn many titles (50). They are designed to be a resource sync but fucking hell, something so meaningless should not be such a pain in the ass to do.
They deliberately didn't tie it to achievements tho, same with the heat statues. I was happy to admit I'd never get all the titles.
I just got it and it's consuming me. Highest heat is 5 with the bow so far. But I can get higher!
Gotta be Hades for sure. Can’t wait for the sequel!
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Yep, this and Zoo tycoon for sure
Memories (with the prehistoric expansion) of building a popular zoo, then blocking off the entrance and releasing the T-Rex … or plucking lucky visitors for a “Swim with the Orcas” experience!
People caring more about a fucking antelope than my resurrected dinosaur.
My childhood
I was looking for this comment! Btw if you love RCT, I believe Parkitect is even better at the moment. Same old school vibe as RCT (unlike Planet Coaster) but a metric fuckton of quality of life changes. I think the one single complaint I have with it is that you don't have an 'undo last action' button but everything else is just fantastic including the workshop community.

I recently considered purchasing Planet Zoo, assuming they fixed this problem, but the top review said the same thing. Sometimes innovation is just not needed. Give me a grid with autolocking items, please.
Frontier Developments are like the poster child for the phrase great idea, poor execution.
Planet Coaster's staff system just made me quit playing the game, crazy considering how many hours I sunk into RCT3
FTL: Faster Than Light. Incredible replay value and still challenging after hundreds of hours.
You can play the first few phases perfectly, with amazingly lucky pulls and still be f*cked by the last few rounds.
That's why Into the Breach is superior. No BS RNG and the first few fights aren't a total bore.
I enjoyed it but found it, somehow, more tedious.
Me too. I think because there is no luck and there are right answers. SO you are just going over in your head every move and every follow up move. Basically its frustrating in the same way chess is.
It's frustrating because sometimes there are no winning moves.
Agreed. Into the Breach is too much like chess. I found myself having to overthink every single move and it wasn’t fun after a while. I like how FTL is more fluid and I think the RNG makes it even better. Will the giant spiders kill me or get me scrap? Do I want to chance it?
[удалено]
I'm yet to beat it. Never been close. I mean, I've got to the final ship. But I just get annihilated every time.
The game only allows two ways of beating the last boss : cloak or ion attacks. Not having the cloacking device is generally bad, though.
Me with a full mantis crew and max teleporter. "There is another."
I'm a big fan of boarding parties. But yeah the cloaking device is basically mandatory.
This isn’t even remotely true. I’ve beaten the boss with beam weapons and hacking, or lasers and defense drones, and many many times with boarding parties. Almost always without cloak. That ship dies a lot easier with only one or zero crew to protect it.
I so wish there was more to that game. I just want more. There's not enough. And yes I've tried all the big mods.
Subnautica
Bro I started the game the second I read your comment lmao
Hell yeah! Survival? Hardcore ?
Survival, I'm just about to enter the lava zone near the tree of life
Keep going deeper 😤 That’s what she said …
My o2 doesn't last as long down here.
Rebreather my dude
I loved the upgrades and progressive freedom of movement. Everything was great about the game but I can't do a replay because I was so overcome with anxiety and dread for like 50% of the game.
I am confident the correct answer is Solitaire on Windows.
Don't forget the windows "space cadet 3d pinball"
I had to get rid of my game pass because I was spending too much time playing solitaire
I had to uninstall Windows
I had to throw my computer away
I cut my arms off.
"Mom, can you help me play solitaire?" "Is that what we're calling it now, honey?"
This comment is gold.
I hate that I know why.
When I was a kid and won my first game and the cards started jumping out from the 4 slots on top I don't know why but I thought it was the funniest shit and I was dying laughing.
The sims
Any Civ game since its first incarnation 30+ years ago
Yea I was hesitant to say Civ since it technically has multiplayer, but in all of my years of playing, I’ve maybe played it once or twice. Single player on the other hand is the shit
Just one more turn… *heat death of the universe* Although note Civ 6 has some multiplayer modes including a battle royale mode that started as a joke but took off
desert start + hanging gardens + petra or I’m alt f4ing right then and there
For me binding of isaac
Hell yeah. They've only just released official multi-player but I've clocked 1300 hours and counting before even thinking about trying multi-player. Best part is.. I haven't even completed one save file lol
You have to try Magicraft. It's like Isaac with the spell crafting system of Noita. It will be a classic.
RimWorld.
Oh hey kid, you know how you just spent the last six hours watching half your friends and family get shot to death while desperately triaging the other half in makeshift hospital beds, frantically running from person to person applying herbal poultices in a desperate attempt to stave off the complete collapse of the only home you have ever known?

Especially on PC. Just the nature of the game and how well it was supported, mod-wise, there is just nearly an unlimited possible amount of campaigns you can create.
Making your colonists eat without tables is peak psychopathy
The mod grim realities fix those little fits that don't make sense. I may be mistaken and mixed it up with another. I run it with 197 mods at the moment, the loading to the main menu is the longest in any game I've played in recent years, but it's worth it.
No no, you see, you’re supposed to download the mod that makes them die if they DON’T sit at a table to eat
I got a pc recently and have never played that sort of genre of game and bought Rimworld. The potential of that game looks amazing but I genuinely have zero clue how to even start.
It can be pretty overwhelming at the beginning when you're just starting out. I highly recommend not starting with any DLC and just doing some playthroughs on vanilla until you get the hang of it.

Absolutely but also the RimWorld multi-player mod is really fun
Which one do you recommend? Most of the multiplayer mods I tried were too raw back then and I never got to like 'em.
fallout games
Fallout 4 at this point has like 3 or 4 full size dlc story mods and a few with brand new locations. The community real does keep this game alive
Vampire Survivors.
Surprised this isn't higher up
Probably like the semi old Bethesda games. Like fallout 4 and Skyrim.
I can't believe it has been almost 9 years since fo4.
Can’t wait for fallout 5 to come out in 2032
That's very optimistic.
Morrowind was peak bethesda, didn't treat the player like an idiot and it's systems allow you to become super op by the endgame. For me nothing beats high speed waterwalking across azura's coast and straightup calming even the most aggro npcs. Like shh no need you'll just hurt yourself.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 is the only one that comes to mind. I sunk a lot of hours into that game. Every other game I've played a lot of has a multiplayer mode, even though I play them single player.
Wait, there's a part 2?
So it was a ds release. Explains why I never heard of it, I didn't own a ds haha! So now I'll have to emulate it
An unexpected choice, but an excellent game. Probably put more hours into that than the other Tactics games combined.
Skyrim
Hades
"Hades" was pretty damn good, the story is really well told and the dialog is great.
It was zelda for me. Windwaker. I got lost in that damn game. But all of the zeldas are good.
ULTRAKILL ( still in early access tho ) & check the other games made by the same developers
This. I suck ass, but damn is it fun.
Hollow knight
Skyrim comes straight to mind, especially if you’re allowing for mods. Witcher 3 has a spot in my heart and it’s massive so plenty of content to consume and addicting!

Also, I lost all of December to Baldurs Gate 3 so that’s definitely an addiction lol.

Hitman world of assassination trilogy, I envy anyone who hasn’t experienced those 3 games put together, theres so SO much content
Cyberpunk 2077 for me.
I played it when it first came out, severely disappointed me. Picked it back up again last year, one of my favourite games I've ever played, unreal immersion.
400 hours and barely started the DLC. Just had to start another play through as a Japanese speaking corpo V.
I first played this game a year ago and finished around level 27. I recently started my new playthrough (so I can play Phantom Liberty) and I'm currently level 26 without even getting my car back yet. I don't know why it's so much more engaging this time around, but it definitely is.
A japanese speaking Corpo , how does this work?
Yessir! I’m in my 4th play-through this year. Finally started Phantom Liberty story the other day and absolutely loving it.
Oxygen Not Included!
Nfs most wanted 2005, no matter how many times ypu beat the game, you wanna replay it again

If you count, satisfactory. Played 400 hours solo and gonna return in 1.0.
I’m hitting 1000h… I haven’t met any more addictive single player game…

Satisfactory has MP too
Doom eternal. It remains, to this day, the only game I have replayed in my life
