So, we all know that games like MOBAs, MMORPGs, Hearthstone and FPS games are pretty addictive. They're designed to be that way

But what about point-and-click graphical adventure games? Have any of you found them to be as addictive as the above-mentioned games? Do they stimulate dopamine releases as much as say, Overwatch for example?

I reckon on average less addictive but it's individual to the player also.

Can you reitterate on what you mean by "point and click games" you mean games where you have to click alot like idle games or interactive games that have to do with us focusing our energy and time into them to actually progress?

I found Runescape to be just as bad for my addiction and it was the reason I have signed up here.

I used to play a lot of these. I’d say they can be just as addictive. I know during the pandemic I played quite a few of them because they were easy to do, like watching a show, but still active. However, I spent a lot of my free time playing them and got to the point where, for a while, it was pretty much the only thing I wanted to do. I think you become addicted to the progression and the storyline in the same way you might with wanting to know what happens next in a tv show. So, not quite the same as an MMORPG and such, but there are still elements that encourage addiction in some.
