What's that one game you just can't stop playing no matter how hard you try because it's the perfect game? (alien.top)

I always somehow find my way back to playing No Man's Sky. No matter what I do, game I play, activity inside or outside of gaming, NMS is always there to play and chill. Sometimes I go on creative and spend a week amassing the perfect color coordinated team of ships, crew, frigates, and freighter.

Borderlands 2. It nailed the loot system. Farming feels so good, it’s the perfect balance of time input to reward output. The game is incredibly fun to optimize your play.

The difficulty also hits a sweet spot. It’s basically perfectly balanced. Even though the game is loot based the end game difficulty is still 95% skill based. It asks you to use the game mechanics to their fullest and if you do that you can make any gear work. It is completely relevant to your skill at the game though.

After 4,000+ hours I still find new stuff to do, and even though the game is 11+ years old new things are still being learned and strategies are still being developed by the community.
