Comment on Just discovered Mini Metro, a puzzle game where you have to create metro lines. Very addictive, but also chill, and currently 50% off on Steam

  yeah why do people use this as a positive? it’s literally a way for lots of AAA titles to manipulate their audience.

  that being said mini metro isn’t addictive. it’s fun and chill and it can get hectic. being good enough that you want to play more isn’t addictive.

    Do you have a suggestion for another word that would be better ?

      I think in most cases it could easily be replaced with fun, enjoyable or great. if you’d like something more about how you interact with it: engaging, compelling, maybe even captivating depending on the context.

      you might think it doesn’t make a difference but addicting is something that a lot of big names unfortunately aim for, and knock it out of the park.
