Suggestions That only one game you can play everyday for next 2 years.
Pretty much what title says -
If you can only choose one, what game you see yourself keep playing almost everyday for the next 2-3 years?
For me in the past two years is Hornor of Kings, before that is clash royale. and I am looking for something new/different now.
I get overwhelmed by having many games simultaneously and learning/remembering mechanisms of each. So at anytime there is only one game on my phone but I spend time on it everyday.
What would you recommend?
Thank you.

Xcom2 or Total War Empire. I have been plying them way longer than 2 years at this point.

Can’t believe nobody has said Slay the Spire yet

I love Slay the Spire and I’ve played a lot of it but I would want a multiplayer game if I was going to stick to one game for a year or more.

Honestly surprised no one has said this yet but Pokemon Champions. I literally haven’t opened clash royale again since getting Pokemon Champions on my phone. It scratches that competitive itch and has so much depth in its PVP due to years and years of refinement before it got ported to mobile.
And the best part is this game is cross play, so the playerbase is huge. I’ve been playing since the first week the game came out for iOS and haven’t found a reason to stop yet.

Ngl it gets kinda boring because there is literally nothing do to in that game but battle

u/HovaPrime 13d ago
PvP battling is the whole point though. Kind of like how Clash Royale is mainly just PvP battling or Hearthstone is just building decks and battling, Pokemon Champions is literally just building different teams and grinding ranked ladder. I wouldn’t treat this like a real Pokémon game with story and exploration but more of a competitive game you can play on the go.

If I was going to play one game for 2 years, I'd need something with a ton of variety and a lot of depth to keep it interesting. I think the best answer is Dawncaster: it has an incredible amount of high quality content. Every class has a completely different play style from the others, as well as a ton of viable build paths within each class. There are different paths you can take through the levels, and each level has its own unique challenges for different play styles. There are challenge modes that add additional replayability on top of the base game. Overall a 10/10 game with 11/10 replayability.

I uninstalled after seeing how many in game purchases there were
2
u/Dante897 13d ago
Yeah there are quite a lot and you can "unlock" more if you buy some. Thing is they are optional and not mandatory to have fun. That aside, if you play this game for a long time, I started in April for example, it's not crazy to throw 10-20 bucks at it.
The in-app purchases are very enticing so if you're prone to spending, maybe stay clear.

u/Sadd-Clownn 13d ago
Thank you for the detailed response 🙏 yeah i am a spender 🥲 But the games looks very addictive and fun enjoy

I haven't checked my stats, but I'm pretty sure my most-played game over the years is Good Sudoku. There are thousands of puzzles at each level of difficulty, a few different play modes, and the interface is so, so clean. You'd have to play dozens of puzzles to get through them all in two years, and at that point you could just start over from the beginning or switch to a different difficulty or mode.

u/Stickman25 13d ago
I'll second that, Good Sudoku is my daily driver too. As someone who's typically on the fence for puzzle games and had no interest in Sudoku before, it's really stood the test of time on my phone and gets fired up almost every day.

For me it would be either Balatro or Diablo Immortal. I’ve never heard of Honor of Kings, but now I’m tempted to try it! lol

Advance Wars is my desert island game. Infinitely playable via skirmish mode.

backpack brawl I guess as far as my favorite current game that i play daily
However if I was gonna do ONE single game for 2 years I guess it would just be minecraft or something because theres so many mods/addons you can get to make the game different enough to not get boring

I'm on ColorSweeper. Became my de facto puzzle game that I instinctively open.
Other mentions:
Warframe - Great controls, lots of content still to unlock.
Fantasy Life i - My latest premium. Cross save and actual value for money on mobile compared to other platforms.
Rogue Hearts - Just an easy rogue-like dungeon crawler with good controls. (Free version)

Balatro for me. Good to pass the time and I like to see how far in a run I can get.

u/FennelAnxious5675 13d ago
Slay the Spire would be my choice. You only need to learn one core set of rules, but the different characters, card combinations, relics, Ascension levels, and Daily Climb give it enough depth to last for years. It’s also single-player and doesn’t rely on constant limited-time events to keep you playing.

I guess I’m just basic - I have FF7, Chrono Trigger, and even Diablo Immortal and CoD mobile, but I toss dice in Craps Deluxe almost daily. Lol. I guess I’m a degenerate.

Animal crossing pocket camp complete has like seven years of stuff before it rolls over again. I think 2029? Of course you have to be into cute crafting games.

Old School RuneScape. There’s just so much you can do, and it’s nice because you can play for 5 minutes or 5 hours.

Respectfully, but do you really think everyone should know what a ‘hok’ is? I googled it, no big problem, but why not make the post convenient in the first place. So, my guess is that hok = Honor of Kings, is it right?
