Time-Waster Games have been a topic of debate lately, with so many players enjoying massive titles of varied genres, and some undoubtedly being dubbed as ‘points of no return’ for those who enjoy losing themselves in the thrill of playing endlessly.
From MMORPGs where players can lose themselves for thousands of hours by doing only side activities, to games where there’s no limit when players’ imagination is left unchecked. There’s no telling what could happen if readers dive into these dangerous games that could trap them for the rest of their lives, if they are not careful.

Black Desert Online
You Could Spend The Rest Of Your Life Breeding Horses Or Cooking Pastries If You’re Not Careful
Landing in Velia for the first time is an overwhelming experience for even the most veteran of MMORPG players, and Black Desert doesn’t make it any easier for the rookies either. With so many things to do, so many places to visit, so many objectives to grind, quests to complete, and professions to learn, it gets really, really hard to set a clear objective.
To make things even worse, artisanship in the game is so enthralling and detailed that it becomes difficult not to fall into any of the Lifeskills the game has to offer. From being a notable Merchant, to the richest Horse Breeder in the world, Black Desert’sside activities are a path of no return for those who are there for the PvE and PvP activities, but a pleasant joyride for those who enjoy the grinding of crafting and collecting mats. On the other hand, the game is not just about Lifeskills, since there are 29 playable classes to pick from, and an enormous world to explore, full of secrets, dungeons, Raids, Guild PvP, and the list goes on forever.

Warframe
An Entire Solar System To Defend, And Hundreds Of Weapons To Master
Warframe is, arguably, one of the best live-service games ever made: It has a solid, ever-growing community, its own annual live gathering (Tennocon), a stable in-game economy based on pay-to-play with tradeable in-game currency, and a killer story with engaging gameplay as the cherry on top. But, there’s one thing no one who has ever played Warframe can deny: It is a Time-Waster Game.
From the Endless Grinding in its procedurally generated missions to the time-consuming Sorties, Archon Hunts, and constantly renovating Alerts, this game will hook players in and never let them go. Luckily, there’s a silver lining at the end of the day: Progression leads to Mastery, and Mastery leads to perfection. This is a game that is rewarding for those who overcome the first stages of gruesome Grinding, and allows them to become living Legends using the most powerful Warframes: respected Tennos that can buff the whole community and are paragons of what it means to be a Space Ninja.
