For me, it's mostly "sim games" that do that. I'd spend hours on SimCity and Cities Skylines. I've logged marathon playing sessions on space sims like No Man's Sky and Starflight in the 1980s.
Tears of the Kingdom was my most-played game of 2023, by far. Spent hours just exploring and playing with Zonai machines. My second most-played game of 2023 was Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, which is a farm sim.
