10 Video Games That Will Consume Your Life
6. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The game so good that Bethesda just keep on re-releasing it every two months, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of modern gaming's biggest and most time-consuming experiences. Even nine years after its initial launch, newcomers and veterans alike are still finding their precious free-time being taken up with all manner of fantasy shenanigans.
Everything from learning magic, battling dragons and raiding hidden dungeons is here and it can all be a bit overwhelming on a first play-through. However once you start to get your bearings, you'll be setting off on your own little adventures in no time at all, losing yourself to the game's diverse cast of characters and factions who all have unique quests and story-lines that will immediately pull you in.
Whilst the base-game alone contains a hearty 75 hours worth of content for you to mindlessly grind-away at, if you factor in all of the available DLC, you're looking at a whopping 280+ hours of gameplay.
The fun doesn't even have to end there though, as a very dedicated modding community churns out a whole host new content for you to experiment with to yours heart's content.
