This, this, this! You will lose all track of time in Civ V. I started a game with a friend this past week. The first day we started at 9:30pm and I planned to go to bed by midnight. Nope... I went to bed at 4am (6.5 hours). Our successive sessions lasted 5 & 4 hours and we're still playing the same match. I highly recommend the game.

This, again and again and again and again.

You'll find yourself saying "just one more turn" every turn.

It's weird how I can't stand strategy games... I have Civ V, so I launched it, watched the short intro (excellent intro by the way), started playing with the tutorial toggled... A few minutes later, my reaction was something like "Ugh."...
SO much reading... But the worse is that there are so many options, I don't know what to do anymore.

I guess I'm just not a very strategic guy...

True, but not recommended. Extremely linear, repetitive gameplay, lack of choices and NPC interaction, voice acting sucks, and it crashes hard if you try to exit the game early.

And before that you can try some MMO games (I use SWtoR, DotA 2 and Prime World) or StarCraft II.

semi true ... but I was very close to report most of my Dota 2 teammates yesterday for harassing me, even though in the end I turned out to be the highest level, most kills, no death, most assists.

why was I still harassed? all because I didn't run into the obvious suicide attacks that they pinged.

MOBAs can be very frustrating at time ...

Ok, Borderlands then. Or Saints Row 3/4. But not GTA, there you can also get frustrated with many tasks.

If money does not matter, learning to fly a helicopter must be interesting too.

The biggest time sink for me was and is Counter-Strike. These days, it's the "Global Offensive" version of the game.

If you're looking for single-player games, then usually the biggest time sinks tend to be RPGs (try playing through all Mass Effect games for example,) strategy games (Civ IV or V,) and a few space sims (X3 Albion Prelude).

And then, there's also Pinball FX2 ;-)

  • Kerbal Space Program (I highly recommend this game!)
  • Dwarf Fortress (I recommend playing with this mod/collection of tools)
  • Gnomoria (Almost as good as Dwarf Fortress, but it's not as deep or complex)
  • War Thunder
  • DayZ
  • Rust
  • Space Engineers
  • Any of the Elder Scrolls games
  • Dark Souls
  • Dragon Age: Origins
  • Mass Effect 1-3
  • Baldur's Gate I & II/Neverwinter Nights
  • Knights of the Old Republic I & II
  • Any of the Avadon/Avernum/Geneforge/Nethergate games
  • Sacred Gold (Best when played with a friend or two)
  • X3: Terran Conflict/X3: Albion Prelude
