With staying power I thought of games like Factorio.

Bought it once, played it for thousands of hours. A decade later or so it gets an extension which basically quintuples the content, am playing it thousands of hours more.

    Factorio, rimworld, stardew valley, and project zomboid are the games I'm likely to be playing at any given time of year since they came out and every time there's an expansion or update.

    These weren't expensive games to develop, I even played them for years when they weren't yet finished.

    I'm still of the opinion that the best games are the ones that are developed in a way is friendly to the mod community.

    Mods literally made MechWarrior mercenaries, Minecraft and GTA5 into Great games rather than merely good ones.
