      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; depending on the mode you’re playing.

      being good enough that you want to play more isn’t addictive.

          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 publishers deliberately aim for, and unfortunately knock it out of the park. it’s best not to relate that to small developers without that sinister goal.
