The 20 most addicting Android games?
Variety is frequently emphasized when we talk about games, and for good reason. There are so many genres in games that it’s difficult to not discover something that appeals to you. Some, on the other hand, go beyond that and have the ability to keep you playing for hours on end, making them perfect time fillers.

1. Candy Crush Saga
It’s impossible to begin a list of Android addicting games without mentioning Candy Crush Saga, which remains one of the most popular games on the platform. With its simplicity and limitless difficulties, the Bejeweled-inspired game loaded with colors and sweetness transformed the tiny time King Studio into a titan of electronic games.
2. Fortnite
Within a year, this game went from obscurity to worldwide sensation, putting it at the top of our list. Fortnite has become so popular among children that it is causing anxiety among a generation of parents who are unsure how to deal with it.
People are losing hundreds of dollars due to clueless youngsters, while children are wetting themselves to keep playing and throwing tantrums if they are unable to play their favorite game, Fortnite.
With over 250 million players globally, $200 million in monthly income, and a thriving eSports industry, this game isn’t going away anytime soon.
3. Pokémon GO
The 2016 phenomenon that became a great hit overnight is the second item on our list of addictive Android games. Pokémon GO used augmented reality to bring Nintendo’s pocket monsters to the streets and parks of the world, making many people’s fantasies come true.
The game has appeared in both our lists of best 2020 games for iPhone and best 2020 games for Android, as well as lessons on how to play it without leaving your house.
4. League of Legends

5. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG)
When PUBG was first published in 2017, it swept the globe. While it was still in beta, it swiftly became the most popular game of all time, and massive crowds continue to check in to play every day. The brand, however, did not reach new heights until the introduction of PUBG Mobile.
The popular software, which is one of Asia’s most popular games, is taking in about $5 million every day. That figure is only going to rise.
It’s difficult to understand why PUBG is so addictive when you first start playing. The controls are clumsy, the graphics are mediocre, and it costs more than the rest of the games on the list.
6. World of Warcraft
No other game on our list, in my opinion, has had the same impact on gaming as World of Warcraft. The only reason it isn’t higher is that it no longer attracts the same amount of gamers as it once did. However, with the recent release of WoW Classic, they have seen a significant increase in the number of returning players.
When World of Warcraft first came out in 2004, it offered a whole new experience. It enabled degrees of immersion, social interaction, and ongoing growth never before attempted. It was a game that truly defined the MMO genre.
7. Minecraft

The overstimulating nature of computer games makes young people particularly vulnerable. This fear becomes more genuine when you realize the game is being used in classrooms. Gaming, I believe, has a role in education; however, it must be done in a safe and responsible manner.
8. Pokémon Shuffle Mobile
We’ve got you covered if you’d rather stay at home. Pokémon Shuffle Mobile is an excellent game for capturing small monsters in a unique method. To vanquish each monster in each stage, you’ll need to build combinations of three, similar to Candy Crush Saga.
9. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
For someone like me, games like Skyrim were extremely addicting. The yearning for escape was the most important need I met through gaming. I needed to get away from the problems I was having in real life, and Skyrim was the ideal place for me to do so.
It dramatically transformed my life when it was released in 2011. I’d never seen anything like it before in terms of graphics, setting, and story. I guess I played it for 24 hours in the first 32 hours after it was released. Which, in retrospect, is mind-boggling.
The amount of immersion and realism I could accomplish with more mods than I could handle caused my Skyrim obsession to reach new heights. It’s one of our community’s and the Stop Gaming subreddit’s most popular games.
10. Clash of Clans
From here in Thailand, I can almost hear the collective groans. If you’re one of the folks who refuse to accept mobile gaming as actual gaming, it’s also not the only one on our list.
However, with the widespread use of smartphones and their incorporation into our daily lives, it was only a matter of time before people were addicted to mobile games.
While mobile gaming can be a fun way to pass the time on your commute for a half hour or so, the current state of mobile gaming is in disarray.
From enjoyable minigames to developers trying how far they can milk their players for as much money as possible, the business has evolved. There is no reason for the industry’s use of so many methods to keep players playing for longer than to make more money.
11. Path of Exile
Path of Exile is my personal poison when it comes to addictive games, and I may start sounding like a broken record soon.
When I initially came upon this game, I despised it. It was clumsy, uninteresting, and meaningless in my opinion. After a few years, it had quickly become my most-played game of all time.
The usage of seasons, or leagues, is what makes this game so addictive. This isn’t a new concept; Fortnite is another game that uses it extensively. However, for those unfamiliar with how PoE works, completing the game in those three months is unfeasible.
The majority of your time in an MMO is spent in the ‘endgame.’ It takes about 6-10 hours to finish the story. You can achieve a variety of completion goals in this game, such as fighting specific bosses or simply exploring the league.
12. 2048
2048 was created with no intention of ever becoming a big hit by a developer, but it quickly became a hit and spawned a slew of clones on the Google Play Store. 2048 is a mathematically challenging game in which the user must assemble a square with the number 2048. Every fusion doubles the number of people inside, but the room is limited, so getting to the end requires preparation and lateral thinking.
13. PAC-MAN 256
PAC-MAN 256 comes from the same studio as Crossy Road. Many people believe this game to be one of the most addictive on mobile, especially for aficionados of the classic.
It combines familiar and beloved gameplay with endless-running games. This means you’ll be stuck in an infinite maze, trying to eat pellets while avoiding ghosts.
Glitch, a new opponent, will put pressure on you to keep moving through the maze.
14. Clash of Clans
Clash of Clans, one of the most popular mobile combat games, features an addictive formula for raising armies, as well as a splash of inspiration from historical military and Norse stories. The compelling heroes help keep the strategy game popular, despite it being a genre that is generally considered niche, in a medieval fantasy backdrop full of humor.
15. Clash Royale
Clash Royale is a competitive card game for Android developed by the same developer and inspired by Clash of Clans. During the battles, you must destroy your opponents’ towers and castles while defending your own.
To accomplish so, you’ll need to employ cards to summon charismatic characters from the first game. It’s one of just a handful of mobile games featuring professional tournaments.
16. Sonic the Hedgehog™ Classic
The iconic game that launched a franchise that has lasted nearly three decades is now accessible on smartphones! If you’ve played this series before, you know how addictive the games can be. It’s a charming classic that works great on mobile devices.
You’ll have to beat each stage, which is filled with monsters, traps, and a boss until you reach the end of the game.
17. Shooty Skies: Arcade Flyer
This is one of those addictive Android games that brings back memories of the good old arcade era of gaming. You’ll command a vehicle among the enemy hordes from a top-down perspective, dodge every projectile as you progress, and gather more points to demolish foes.
Despite this, due to its cartoon aesthetics, Shooty Skies: Arcade Flyer is not a violent game.
18. Sky Force Reloaded
The Sky Force series is one of the most conventional shoots ’em ups for mobile devices, following the same principle as the previous entry. The game was re-released under the name Sky Force Reloaded and was maintained up to date with new levels and maintenance. It was more adult-oriented than Shooty Skies due to its portrayals of explosions.
19. Smash Hit
We found this abstract game to be one of the most addictive we’ve ever played. As a metal ball, you’ll have to destroy as many glass panels as possible throughout the scenario.
The alternate dimension in this game aids the player in maintaining attention and concentration on their progress, as proper timing is essential for success.
20. Hitman GO
This game, from the same developers as Lara Croft GO, is based on Agent 47, the character made famous by the Hitman series of games and films (which we will not mention again). The gameplay is similar to Lara Croft GO’s, but instead of exploring crypts and ruins, the focus is on assassinating high-value targets.
