What games do you seem unable to ever really stop playing?

Of course, I have been playing World of Warcraft since 2004. So that’s obviously a candidate for game I just can’t stop playing, but there are others. I’ve gone back to Dragon Age 2 so many times, I’ve played each of the Mass Effect games repeatedly, and every so often I start another Kingdoms of Amalur replay. Dragon Age Inquisition, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Diablo 3 — these are all games that have kept me coming back over the years. I could just sit here and list others — I replay Jade Empire once a year like clockwork, I’m never going to really be done with KOTOR or its sequel, and there are even newer games in the rotation with me having played Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077 into the ground.

Oh, and then there’s Fallout, which has had me coming back to the original game, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4. I even played Fallout Tactics, and I even still play it.

I have lots of reasons for why I keep coming back to various games. Kingdoms of Amalur I come back to because it’s got really fun, engaging gameplay and the story is the best kind of RPG cheese, all about destiny and being outside of its purview. Dragon Age 2 has Hawke and his friends, and that’s pretty much why I play it. World of Warcraft is practically a part of my life — I proposed to my wife during a Molten Core raid, and if it wasn’t for WoW players I’d be completely unable to see, if not actually dead.

But I wonder about other people and their evergreen games. I see a lot of people play Skyrim to this day, for example. The whole Witcher series seems to come back on a weekly basis, and we’re seeing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition serving as an invitation to lose half of my life on that game again. So what about you? What games do you find yourself playing again and again and again?
