welcome to watch Mojo and today we'll be
counting down our picks for the top 20
time waster video games
[Music]
we'll be looking at games that have no
distinct end goal continuing for as long
as you can maintain your motivation have
you wasted your time with any of these
games let us know in the comments below
number 20 Fantasy Life
foreign
it may have been a risk for level 5 to
jam-pack their RPG with gameplay
remissant of Animal Crossing Harvest
Moon and Zelda but that gamble resulted
in a title that keeps Gamers of all
types obsessed initially only released
in Japan this engaging 3DS gem was only
put onto Western shelves when a
re-release added online multiplayer with
no pressure to follow the main storyline
you can freely explore the welcoming
world of Riveria while pursuing Mastery
in the 12 life classes players felt that
the game's value came in its
open-endedness arguing that the story
didn't fit the adorable MMO style core
gameplay
[Music]
foreign number 19
2048 for a short period in 2014
productivity plummeted and
procrastination skyrocketed as this
number matching app took over phones and
web browsers everywhere blending
ridiculously simple sliding gameplay
with an enticingly elusive end goal the
game's developer reckoned that over 500
years of Play Time had been spent in
attempts to double up towards that
mythical 2048 figure and Beyond this
viral phenomenon has inevitably spawned
hordes of its own imitators even if it
is itself an identified clone of the
game threes number 18 Clash of Clans
foreign
three years after Clash of Clans
launched on the App Store developers
supercell were still receiving 1.5
million dollars a day a testament to the
longevity of their freemium title
millions of players were absorbed in an
endless cycle of building training and
raiding alongside fellow Clans people
who have also reached the brink of
tapping right through the screen of
their device unlike other apps of this
breed players are given all sorts of
reasons to keep plugging away as the
surprisingly in-depth gameplay and
dedication to your cute virtual
community combined to make it
deceptively hard to put this game down
you'll regret the day you crossed angry
Nissan 52.
number 17. Terraria
if you've scanned any review of this
title you'll have seen the comparisons
to Minecraft there's Mining and crafting
what did you expect but putting that
aside this 2D procedurally generated
Survival game is the perfect alternative
it's the freedom to survive in so many
different ways that the two have in
common a range of offensive strategies
are possible and you can feasibly repel
zombies and slime from within a
carefully constructed Fortress
[Music]
number 16. Sid Meier's Civilization 6.
you're plotting a new course again
aren't you the current before is are
Ever Changing we must adapt press
forward if we are to see our Journey's
End they say Rome wasn't built in a day
and nor should you expect your
all-dominant Empire to exterminate every
threat after a few hours of gameplay
matches on Marathon mode can comfortably
last for weeks as you meticulously study
the map micromanage individual tiles and
plan minute war strategy yet when 2050
A.D rolls around in the game technically
ends you can still continue exploring
expanding exploiting and Exterminating
to your heart's content every
civilization believes it will last
forever maybe your kingdom will actually
be the first
We rise to the challenge
[Music]
and become something greater than
ourselves
number 15 star Jew Valley
[Music]
once you've started life on your
beautifully designed 16-bit Farm it
won't take long for you to start
thinking about emulating your in-game
avatar and abandon the corporate slog
while you routinely tend to your crops
and livestock the seasons will serenely
slip by as every gentle note in the
soundtrack produces a relaxed mindful
State of Mind where you feel at home
with the town and its inhabitants
whether you get to know the Deep
backstory of every resident or opt for
Solitude with a fishing rod pickaxe or
watering can in hand the game simply
goes on as the player gets more and more
immersed
foreign
[Music]
number 14. Roller Coaster Tycoon theme
parks are meant to evoke a sense of
wonder that as children you'd never want
to end RCT gives you the power to not
only match the magic of real-life Parks
but eternally exceeded by creating the
park of your dreams once you've crafted
the perfect snaking Mega coaster and the
screams kachings and barfs start rolling
in you'll be hooked on the satisfaction
of delivering precisely what your range
of patrons demand even today its core
formula has lost None Of The Addictive
potency that reached its Pinnacle in the
Mega Park sandbox mode where nearly
anything was possible including
deliberately disastrous attractions
solely designed to trap your innocent
unwitting guests
thank you
number 13. Pokemon go
the world watched in awe as a game with
such rudimentary flicking gameplay
became the global cultural phenomenon of
2016. hordes of would-be Masters flooded
the streets to catch and battle in this
kind of but not really augmented reality
game with relatively limited depth and
almost no actual gameplay mechanics
nobody would have ever guessed that even
non-pokemon fans would have gotten so
into it the way the game got people
outside can't be faulted however and if
players continue to safely get exercise
while seeking a pokestop that can only
be a good thing
[Applause]
thank you
number 12. Harvest Moon have you ever
heard of a place called Sky Tree Village
whenever any new release features a
combination of farming RPG and social
elements it'll inevitably be compared to
this Nez classic while it isn't
technically open-ended you get 2.5 years
to maintain your farm and get married
each of the 20 possible endings has such
conflicting requirements that you'll
Escape time and again into this peaceful
world for a new experience 20 years
before stardew Valley began providing
agriculture themed relaxation Harvest
Moon was setting the standard in the 90s
striking that perfect balance between
accessibility and depth for even further
replayability you can stay out well
after 6 PM doing chores and chatting to
Other Bar goers just make sure your wife
doesn't get too upset by your late night
antics
foreign
no man's sky
containing 18 quintillion planets the
universe to be discovered in hello
games's survival title is 3.75 times
larger than our observable universe if
if that isn't big enough for you no game
experience ever will be complaints about
the game on release were certainly
Justified but with each new update the
game has become more and more incredible
with a ridiculous amount of things to do
its scale is near unfathomable for us
humans and should you have the mental
endurance your journey will never end
[Music]
number 10. Flappy Bird
[Music]
who would have thought such a simply
made game could become a phenomenon the
goal here is simply to guide your bird
through a series of gaps between Mario
Style pipes and build up a high score
gaining a whopping one point per pipe
passed while the game's quality is
questionable it's highly addictive
nature certainly is not in fact the
game's Creator dong Newen pulled it from
distribution apparently because of the
guilt he felt over the game's addictive
nature whether or not this is true or
whether it was due to the questionable
origin of a few of the in-game assets
remains unknown but an endless barrage
of knockoffs followed in its wake
number 9. fortnite yeah but I already
got all my letters and you got all your
letters yeah
yeah like with every other game in the
Battle Royale genre the chances of you
surviving and ranking number one are
quite slim you can spend a great amount
of time Gathering weapons and taking
down other players but that can all
amount to nothing you're picked off by
some random person hiding around the
corner you'll find yourself lamenting
the time you've wasted for a brief
period all before jumping right back in
it's an endless cycle oh damn it I had a
shotgun number eight Peggle
[Music]
this Pachinko inspired title comes from
PopCap makers of dozens of gleefully
addictive games so you know it's
probably pretty good right there the
goal of this game is to launch balls
into a field of blocks and Destroy
specific ones in a limited number of
shots fun gameplay aside peggle's true
charm comes from its beautiful art and
cartoony characters these characters or
Peggle Masters lend special abilities to
the player the special abilities and
limited shots give Peggle a nice
strategic hook especially when Odes to
Joy starts playing in a burst of
colorful rainbows foreign
Animal Crossing New Horizons
when the original Animal Crossing was
released in 2002 on the GameCube Gamers
were swept up in their new small town
lives collecting Furniture helping
neighbors and expanding the museum it
was undeniable fun but what makes New
Horizons better than any in the series
before it is the level of customization
you have on the island lending to a
greater sense of Freedom be warned that
once you enter Animal Crossing you may
never leave as many players have put
hundreds of hours into this game
thank you
number six the sims series
sure SimCity might also be worthy of
this list but for that real digital
crack you have to get personal create
virtual people put them in a house
pre-made or of your own design and then
do what you want with them you can help
them achieve their dreams and
aspirations torture them play matchmaker
for them and see them get it on or just
let them act on their own if you're
boring you could even cultivate an
entire community of Sims it's all up to
you oh and there are plenty of
expansions so bring lots of money
[Music]
number five Pac-Man series
[Music]
one of the most successful arcade games
of all time you guides the titular
Circle as he attempts to Sate his
endless hunger for pallets while dodging
those pesky ghosts though the maze is
the same every time escalating
difficulty keeps the game from getting
stale there have been multiple sequels
and remakes of this game notably Miss
Pac-Man and Pac-Man Championship Edition
but no matter the coat of paint it's
always worth playing until the game
crashes because you've gone too far
number four the jeweled series
[Music]
as the premier Match 3 game Bejeweled
has created a massive Legacy of puzzle
games both in its own sequels and in
similar games like Infamous paywall
nightmare Candy Crush a typical game of
Bejeweled lasts until there are no more
moves to be made but several new modes
have been added to the series as it's
gone on perhaps the most popular is
Blitz a competitive one minute long race
to achieve the best score possible turns
out that even today high scores are
still sufficient motivation to keep
playing
foreign
[Music]
whether it's the traditional survival
mode or letting your imagination take
over in creative mode the hours spent
playing Minecraft No No Boundaries build
a shack now build a house now build a
castle now build an even bigger Castle
or better yet just dig a giant hole for
two hours listening to the soothing
sound of the bricks popping Minecraft is
one of the most popular games in the
world a Sandbox that's only limited by
the player's imagination just watch out
for those creepers
number two solitaire
[Music]
a huge enemy to office productivity for
decades this pack-in application for any
Windows operating system has been
relieving boredom for years it may just
be a simple Recreation of the
traditional card game but that surely
doesn't stop it from sucking you in by
its nature not all games are winnable so
finally attaining that elusive Victory
is extremely satisfying dance you stupid
cards done

number one Tetris
[Music]
sound familiar combining the Greek word
Tetra meaning for as all the game's
blocks have four pieces and Tennis
designer Alexi pajanov's favorite sport
and you get Tetris the classic Puzzler
that has been capturing players for
generations with its several seemingly
endless lists of ports and variants what
makes Tetris so great is it's simple to
pick up but difficult to master line
building gameplay there's something
meditative and zen-liked the cascading
geometry making Tetris a strangely
satisfying experience it's hard to think
of another game that requires you to
think while allowing you to shut off
your mind at the same time which is why
it's a Timeless classic
