What’s the one game you never get tired of playing, and why does it keep pulling you back in?

[benduck]

I’m curious to know which games other players consider timeless. Some games stay fun no matter how many times we play them whether it’s because of the story, gameplay, community, or just the nostalgia. For me, that game is Shadow Fight 2, but I’d love to hear what games keep you hooked and why.

What games do you like to replay the most, and what makes them so replayable?

For me it's Satisfactory and Big Ambitions, and to a lesser extent strategy games like Civ. Atlas used to be on this list before the devs destroyed it then ran away. Racing games are also good for being replayable whether you are playing against AI or people. Big Ambitions just has so many...

We need stickies that list the games as its a bit much to expect new people to read that thread and find what every one said.
For instance, my answer to this in that thread linked to a previous thread.

Answer is probably the same. Journey doesn't make as much sense as time goes on as less people playing it. Eventually its backdrop will be the only life in the game... blowing sand.
Probably need more time before i play Torchlight again, even though I haven't played it on this PC... its performance won't really benefit from it. Used to play old games on new PC to see difference but there comes a point there isn't a major change.

I have been a gamer since 1982 and a pc geek since 2002 so i dont need to tell you how much progress and changes i have seen over the years.

I have played 1,000's of games over the years in probably every genre that is out their.
My go to game of all time is Satisfactory . i lol when players say they are bored and yes we do need new content but i always find something to do and my current playthrough has over 5,000 hours on it. I dont use trucks and tractors as they are unreliable. I have 12 end to end railway tracks , for some reason i could not get my head round signals etc. What i do have though is a network of over 500 drones ports that collect and deliver goods to all areas of the world map.

One guy said .... you can do that without a mod ..... i dont use mods.
I put drones ports at the end of my battery factories and they in turn deliver batteries to other rows of drones ports so they dont run out of power.

I have tried other games similar to satisfactory but for some reason they dont appeal to me. Some have small blocks that look like leggo bricks and its hard to tell what the machines are supposed to be. A lot of players seem to go for factorio and i am sorry guys but the top down view makes it look like it was made on a spectrum in 1982..... i did try the demo though ...

The one thing i hate about gaming is the word PLAY .... yes i know thats what we do but many years ago before gaming became more expectable as a hobby my workmates would jump around in front of me shouting bang pop your dead i'm no....... ha ha sad person you PLAY games
