Grindy Games?

[juul]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good grindy game to play during the quarantine. I've played a fair bit, but only ever really got into BDO and WoW. I got MHW the other day but returned it because I wasn't feeling it. Anyone got any good grindy games they can recommend?

Define "grindy."

If you mean repetitive drudgery that prompts you to begin pondering what you're doing with your life and thinking about worthwhile stuff you could be doing instead, Borderlands set the bar for me. Even if one imagines Sisyphus happy, one would probably also get quickly bored.

Something that is fun to keep playing that doesn't have a set ending

I haven't played it myself, but a few friends really like Warframe. It's also free to play so you can try it out and nothing is lost if you don't like it.

Minecraft, definitely.
The holy trinity of Tetris, Columns and Puyo Puyo.
VPX Pinball (avoid FX Pinball like the plague)

Curious as to why you weren't feeling it with MHW. I'm considering getting it.

It just felt really slow to me. The tutorial was long and drawn out, and I wasn't enjoying it. If I kept with it, it would've put me over the 2 hour refund time so I decided it was best to just refund.
Edit: The cutscenes are unskippable

My friends and I actually just grinded out Minecraft the past 3 weeks until we got sick of it.

Oh, and I recommend FFXIV if you haven't tried it already. Very grindy, but relaxing at the same time. It starts out a little predictable with the rotations, but once you hit max level (I bought boosted characters to skip ahead), the gameplay changes, gets more frantic. Between endgame raids, loot, and housing it's impossible to get bored.

Ok, thanks for your opinion!

[Brimzel]

Would recommend Warframe as well.

[Oliver #MAGA]

Disgaea, if you enjoy SRPGs

[Magma Dragoon]

Eternal League of Nefia

[liosalpha]

look for idle/clicker games, grindy af and mostly free

Path of exile, free diablo like game

[Esoteric]

The reason I stopped playing is mmos is because they're nothing but grinding which I find boring and repetitive.

dude its not "good" by any objective measure...

but path of exile is grindy AF

when the game ends, you just end up repeating sections of map youve already played, and they are tiered to like 15. you need three level 1 maps to create a level 2 map, and youll have level 1 maps dropping in level 10 maps.

If you want to 6-link a piece of gear it costs fifteen hundred drops. Like it's insane.

Then the game advertises playing your own way, but is HEAVILY meta dependent on the top tier maps, so youll end up respeccing somewhere in there, and unless you want to pay irl money that essentially means you get to outright start over, or "rerolling" as it's called.
