Anything that gives me an adrenaline rush. Which usually only happens against real human players, but the first time through a good difficult game like a souls like works too.

I can barely put down Ace Attorney style games. I love experiences where I get to unravel a mystery.
It's also really easy to spend a long time grinding in old school Maple. Just monotonous enough to be soothing, just active enough to keep my attention on it.
Basebuilders, 4Xs, Incrementals, and Survival Crafters
Once I burn out I try to stay away as long as possible for the sake of getting other things done and having a sane sleep schedule.
Compare with RPGs, farm sims, platformers, action adventure games, and roguelikes, which I can pick up and put down much more easily without disrupting other aspects of my life.

Rogue-likes, especially if each run is long. Man, the number of times I booted up One Way Heroics for "just a quick run" and realize hours later that I should've gone to bed long ago.
Rimworld, Against the Storm, Dwarf Fortress, and other similar games.
Any game where there is no clear end and continuous engagement and problems to solve is dangerous for me.
Really big and complex games like Rimworld and the Paradox or Hooded Horse games can really suck me in.
Splatoon
Menu Simulators like Warframe and Path of Exile
Samurai Gunn
4X games, specifically any of the Civilization games I’ve played (everything but SMAC & Civ: Beyond Earth).
MMORPG, specifically Elder Scrolls Online.
