Anything that has set turns or levels with natural points to pause. The short time commitment make it easier to "one more turn" my way into playing for hours.
XCOM 2 is phenomenal for this.
Every time I've tried to play XCOM EW or XCOM 2 I'm having a great fun time, and then it seems a new Alien type drops which just wrecks my shit out of nowhere and I get so angry that I quit and don't come back.
If I were good at video games, they'd have no doubt ruined me as PDS games have.
